Certificate: PG
Running Time: 101 minutes
Director: Spike Jonze
As a child, I relished in the magic and mayhem of the legendary book that is 'Where The Wild Things Are', so naturally I was excited to see the story come to life on screen. However, although I can see that this film may meet the needs of the children of today that haven’t read the book, for myself it didn’t capture the true fun and spirit that it should have, and by the credits I was filled with disappointment. I can’t quite put my finger on what exactly was wrong with the film, but in my eyes I wouldn’t call it a major success. I would describe the adaptation to be a weird blend of costumes and voices, a plot that wasn’t given much attention and a film that overall is far too long to hold the attention of an adult, let alone a child.
Rating: **
