Movie Review: Where the Wild Things Are
On March 11, our 5th grade Crocs will be watching the 2009 movie adaptation of the classic children’s picture book “Where the Wild Things Are”. The movie is the story of a young boy named Max who leaves his home life for a thrilling adventure with some wild creatures.
How does the movie compare to the book? Is it possible to make a 2 hour movie from a 10 page picture book? Will we think it is a future classic or just a weird little movie with a little boy and some creepy looking puppet monsters? Read below to find out what we thought of the film and let us know what you thought as well…see ya at the movies!

This movie was terrible. I had to go with my family to see it and it was one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Do you know my favorite part of this movie? When it ended. I think that it is crazy that they tried to make the movie like the book. They must have thought that they could do it because cloudy with a chance of meatballs did it. But Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs was nothing like the book. it was good though. Unlike where the wild things are.
I haven't watched the whole movie but from what I watched I think he is a little brat that needs to be punished , but the kids across the street could have killed him crushing the igloo with him in it!!!
"RAWR!!!" max yelled as he was being wild with his dog. The movie Where the wild things are is about a crazy boy named Max that once yelled to his mom "RAWR! I'M GONNA EAT YOU UP!", and then bit his mom, he got into so much trouble that he wanted to run away, and he did. When Max sees a boat, he gets on it into the island of the wild things, so he sees a lion-like wild thing destroying houses, so he does that, so Max becomes the king of the wild things. Max and the wild things are getting more wild when Max is king, but the lion-like wild thing is mad that Max wants to sleep by himself, so a monkey-like wild thing hides Max in her stomach, and then, Max leaves the island to see his mom again, so all the wild things say bye, and the lion-like wild thing isn't mad anymore and he says bye. When Max shows up at his house, he gets in and his mom is happy to see him, so Max's mom gives him dinner even though she wanted Max in his room without dinner. I didn't like the music much, but they did good with the puppets for the wild things, all in all, the movie Where the wild things are was awesome!

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAAR" little max roared as he was being crazy in his wolf suit. I give this movie a 4 out of 5 for comedy and action in the war when juda yelled "you'll pelt us with dirt if we come out!" When the wild max yellsto his mom "FEED ME WOMAN!!!!!!!" so in result it causes max to run away and he "finds" the wild things and they think he is a king which made me laugh . the only part that grossed me out was when KW ate max and then spit him back out when caryl says the sun is dead I almost said out loud it's nighttime you dummy!!!!
"Roar "yelled the beast of were the wild things are. I the movie is two out of five stars because it noting like the book. like max starts in his room but in the movie he run away after he bite his mom.
Also, the worst part of the movie was when a monster took off the other monster arm. that was not in the book also the monster didn't hide him in her stomach and max starts the movie by casing there dog with a fork.
so this is why you save your money for a different movie.
Ya i agree with everything except for how your rating was 1 out of 10. I would of rated it at least a 7. And also i hated the music. How did you like it . But everything else of your review was good.
RRRRRR! Max says as he chases his dog around the house. Where the wild things are is a movie about a kid named Max who runs away from home to an island with the wild things! The director is Spike Jonze, who did a great job. I loved all of the movie. The music, the costumes, the actors were all good. Max is the kind of kid with a head full of imagination! That is what I like about this movie. I would give this movie a 15 with a 1-10 scale. the genre is fiction, is strangely rated PG which is kinda of weird because once they ripped one of the wild things arms off! The movie is different from the book in a couple ways, like in the book his bedroom turns in to the island but in the movie he runs away and sails to it. Plus in the movie they added a sister which he didn't have in the book. I think the movie is worth seeing and you should watch it to know the whole story!
I agree with rasiyah. The movie was disgusting if we could rate it 1-10 I would rate it a 1 because I didn't like the movie at all.
i liked the moviea little but it could have been better if it wasn't so monster filled and depressing i would persanaly rate it a 3 1\2 to 4 stars on a 5 star rating scale because it isn't that horrible
