    I just saw this movie: Heartrending, Intense, Emotional. The movie expands from the book so exponentially from a story about a child's imagination in his own room to a modern day, real life child actually going into sea and into an island where those monsters were. The monsters themselves are given names, personalities and EVERY character has some sort of emotional problem from being too quiet to being a total asshole. The movie has its comedic moments as to be expected of...what is expected to be a children's movie but it gives so much of a false sense of security that you'll be shocked at the twist and turns a scene will take when the characters start acting out. As the movie ends, you'll feel pretty sad.

    Pros are the spot on design of the characters. Max is seen wearing his wolf costume complete with black fuzzy tail and whiskers, crown and scepter. And the wild things are depicted they way they originally were, so dont expect anything too different like Michael Bay's Transformers or some other original design based on something else. The Wild things dont talk like actual monsters but their respective human voice actors.

    Despite being really sad, the movie was executed so well in story and character depiction. And no racial, contemporary humor is present in the attempt to appeal the audience. And no goddamn human actors dressed as furries or rock and roll music neither.

    I recommend, highly, that you watch it right now.

          The creatures themselves although they looked the same were different from the book. they mirrored people in Max's life before he escaped to the island like his sister, his sister's boyfriend, his mother so on and so forth. Carol the main monster represented an exagerated him, he has violent outbursts when he's upset he feels like he's been replaced in his family by the people he loves.

          i don't think the ending was too sad although it had it's sad moments, him leaving the island and going back to his family shows that he's decided to move on an accept what he's lost and start growing up
