Saw another movie today.... and if I could convert all my fingers and toes to thumbs I would give the movie a huge 20 thumbs down.We saw "Where The Wild Things Are". I am so very disappointed. Even if I had rented it for a buck out of the Walmart vending machine I would still have hated it.
They destroyed the story. It had so much possibility. It could have been so lighthearted. Nope!
I kept thinking throughout the movie that the person who wrote the screenplay got really high and read the book and translated it into a film from a drug induced state. The movie was depressing and dark from beginning to end. It's now been 5 hours since we left the theater and I'm still bothered by what I saw.
It's a stinker, ya'll. Don't waste your money.
You put it in a nutshell very well! Such a shame to take a book with movie potential to be a hit and take it straight down into the pit. I wish I could erase my boys' memories from that waste of brain space!
ReplyDeleteTHANK YOU for the review. My son wanted to watch it because he loves the book. I'm so glad I read this first!
