Overwiew :Max, a rambunctious and sensitive boy feels misunderstood at home and escapes to where the Wild Things are. He lands on an island where he meets mysterious and strange creatures whose emotions are as wild and unpredictable as their actions. The Wild Things desperately long for a leader to guide them, just as Max longs for a kingdom to rule. When Max is crowned king, he promises to create a place where everyone will be happy. Max soon finds, though, that ruling his kingdom is not so easy and his relationships there prove to be more complicated than he originally thought. |

The most boring and disappointing movie I've ever seen. I do not understand how this movie reached at the top of Box Office. If you will keep waiting for something exciting to happen, will find nothing. Don't waste your time or money. | | | | Reply | | |

An average movie overall. Quite depressing from beginning to the end. It does manage to portray the turmoil a child goes through very beautifully. But i think you can enjoy the story by reading the book only! | | | | Reply | | |
