An adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world - a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler.
Was my fav book growing up and the movie doesnt disappoint! its creative, and funny. I thought it would be cheesy and crappy lol. Very good watch 5/5 for me!
5/5 So happy to see this as a movie! It's honestly more for adults than kids I'd say because it has a lot of in depth meaning to it that kids wouldn't get.
[SPOILER]
As for those of you who are saying "what the heck why did he get cake in the ending, he needs to be spanked" You have to look at it from the view point of a scared over worked mother who probably doesn't have a lot of time for her kids.. something like that is horrible and in the end you're just glad they're safe. Besides, you never know if he really did get punished or not!
This was an amazing film. Yes, it is dark for a kid's movie but it was still very enjoyable and no the kid isn't a brat. 8/10 you won't regret watching it
I loved the little guy's acting in this film. I did find myself getting bored, but I believe that is because I was trying to so hard to remember if I actually read the book or not. It was a nice one time watch.
This is being marketed towards kids? Wonderful film but unbelievably SAD and DARK - even slightly scary in some parts. I have never in my life cried from a movie but this had me in tears at the end. I really liked the film but I wouldn't recommend this to anybody below 4th or 5th grade. It's not a 'happy' movie.
As a kid, when this was read to my 2nd grade class, I fell in love with this book. Every time it was my turn to pick out the book for story time I would choose this one. It captured my imagination.
I haven't read it nor have I picked it since then.
This is a very dark movie and quite frightening at times. It's also very sad and tragic. There are also some heart warming moments, that will leave you with a warm glow.
All of the characters go through love/hate moments and some characters you never really like.
But what a wonderful fairytale/fantasy. All good movies elicit some kind of emotional reaction, which this movie does in spades. This is not a movie for children. This is a movie for adults. It follows all the rules for a fairy tale and no fairy tale was ever all unicorns and rainbows. Every fairy tale I remember has some truly awful things happen. The big bad wolf eats a grandmother, the wicked stepmother poisons/enslaves/plots to kill the heroine and children kick witches into ovens. This movie is no different. This movie also has the ending that fits a fairytale. It's not a logical ending, but a "happily ever after" ending.
The story is very good, the acting and the special f/x are amazing. The plot flows very well, and even the pacing is spot on.
I'm no longer in 2nd grade and haven't been for a number of years, but this movie captured my imagination again, and for the first time.
Great movie, reminds me of 2nd Grade as well (must of been a curriculum requirement) The acting was fabulous, the raw emotion really got to me. Reminded me of what it feels like in the real world, and when I was younger and how people left me out of the picture usually. Not a movie for kids because kids wouldn't understand and would be frightened. Other than that overall amazing movie.
5/5
It's sad though that people rate this movie badly because of the emotion it delivers, and probably because they were with their children during the movie, so for redemption they rate the movie down.
It's also sad that people believe the kid was a brat. All kids are brats; everyone should know that by now, but they are brats because of how they are raised, and this kid ran away because his mother wasn't paying attention to him, and his sister didn't care about nor spent time with him anymore, and he is too young to know what happens when you grow up. Show some compassion will you? You'd run away too.
I thought this movie should be watched by all parents as well to see what "some" kids go through and experience. It's a heads-up for parents that we need to keep firm "continual" (keyword) guidance if we are to keep our sanity and give these kids a chance at a halfway decent life. Anyway, just my take on this film as well as it being entertainment. Definitely a movie for the bigger kids.
I loved this film, it took me a while to watch it because I thought I wouldn't really be that interested in it but the monster looked intriguing on the cover and that was about it. I finally watched and loved it. It has a similar dark cloud as Donnie Darko but not the depth of tone, which just means children can watch this. A clever story that you do have to think with a little but is rewarding once you understand it, if you expect to sit there and be passive with this film it will go right over you head.
I'm just so confused after seeing this movie. Beginning was very good, monsters were kind of sweet and acting well. I hate all the violence there and end ,I don't think that boy is gonna learn that expirence anything, bizzarre. Maybe it was for parents, how to raise a child.
The movie was so depressing. We have the kids book and think it is a cute story, but the movie takes the kids book to a very gloomy, depressing, destructive place. I need to go watch Barney now for a pick me up. Anyway, I just thought I would share for anyone thinking of seeing it.
it was a little too wild for my imagination!!
i hated the little boy and he's the main reason why i couldnt get into the movie..but all things aside the work done on the creatures faces was amazing so that was good
what a sweet movie
it kind of make u remember when u were a child
its soo easy to go against the grain of what our mothers say to us
but its all done with love
we realise they were right in the end..
love it
couldnt really get n2 it.. boy that little kid is a problem, he def needs a chill pill!! i agree wit someones statement that he runs away from home moms goin outta her mind and he comes back home to eat cake..seriously?.. xpected sumthn more from this not for me
Sadly this film didn't live up to my expectations.
Pretty dull and silly really. Escapism and justification for bad tempered teens seems to be the theme.
Not my cup of tea.
4/10
i dont get it i see comments saying "i feel for what the kid is going thur" im sry but huh? that kid is a spoilt little brat and needs a good slap from his mother. but no he
[SPOILER]
runs away leaving his mother in her own mental nightmare while hes off with the fairies on his little world. and what does he get when it suits him to return home?? CAKE?!?!
anyway as for the movie itself (as a movie ie acting/graphics/etc) it was nt bad in that sense but Defo nt for kids at all, i liked the creatures in this movie tho they looked great :) but again i couldnt really enjoy it cos i couldnt stop thinking what a spoilt little twat! while the girl in the cinema sat next to me was saying aww i feel sry for the kid !! so 7/10 for the appearance of the monsters etc but 2/10 cos i couldnt really enjoy it. sry x
The book appeals to kids and from what I remember, had a softer approach into the psyche of a child's mind.
The movie, for me- was a grown up version of the children's classic.
Great job on the voice acting.
