The story starts off with a pretty lonely kid named Max--oh, and wild. One night he goes crazy and runs away into a land of 'Wild Things'. He favours one of them, Carol (guy or girl? I still don't know) and he becomes their king. These creatures fall apart pretty quickly and have their own problems like anyone else on this earth. Problems like worrying if the sun will die. Can max bring them all together and be the best king they've ever had? or will he fail miserably?
Ohh man, I can't write a summary if it counted on my life. There you go; that's my sh*t review. Overall, pretty solid movie. Great casting, soundtrack, lighting. Not as iconic/classic/legendary as I hoped it would be (like the book is), but it's done the story (by Maurice Sendak) justice. Very deep and thought-provoking Max, this angry little child should be this year's role model for little boys everywhere. I can now see into my little cousins's odd mind. What a cool movie, huh?
Thought: I would laugh if the film was exactly like the book. :D
8.5/10
