Where the wild things are review

This film was hyped for at least a year before it's release in 2009, yet we still didn't manage to see it until this afternoon.  It was worth the wait.

This review is a different style.  This time it will be a series of snippets of our opinions, given as we watched the film.  A review live on twitter if you like.

R: please can we watch where the wild things are

E: Sunday afternoon fun - Where the Wild Things are

E: Poor Max, one disturbed boy.  Like his drawings at the start though especially the Warner Bros one


E: "woman feed me....I'll eat you up" - I like his monster style in where the wild things are.  I'd laugh if R said that to me!

E: No no no, not a real boat, he's meant to be in bed without any dinner and then dream

R: "this film but be written by a different person than the book coz it's muddled"

R: he's there now

R: good job his costume is White or you wouldn't seem him in the forest

R: the monsters are funny, cute and furry 

R: I think this is part of the dream in the book

R: the monsters have huge heads

E: Wow those monsters are repeating the messages Max clearly here's at home - really disturbing 

E: I knew all the secrets in the world - perfect childhood dream 

R: their heads probably could explode but it'd be very big

E: I want a sadness shield

R: he's lieing about being 20, or perhaps it's true in his dream

E: was that Whoopi Goldberg?

R: cool jumping!

E: No better joy than the sound of a child's laugh and R thinks monsters attacking trees is hysterical

R: monster lick looks worse than mummy lick

E: "we forgot how to have fun" - never do that

E: was that voice George clooney?

R: some of the wild things look like real animals - ducks, goats and bears

R: whoa, cool fort with pretty flowers

E: that is a fantastic looking fort, in fact it looks really real!

R: the wild things are getting angry, why?

R: they did the interrupting cow joke :)

E: that joke's fab.

R: why are they fighting?

R: what does he mean - you always step on my head?

R: Max doesn't have any special
Powers

R: it's snowing, they think Max made it happen

R: the goat is clever

E: Poor max - all the problems are blamed on him again. 

R: max is scared. But he really tried hard to make it nice for the wild things

R: it's so sad when Max leaves the wild things 

R: very good but sad at end but then happy.  Wild things are just like in book. Film is as good as the book. Need mummy 2 cuddle at end

R: too scary and sad, need to be 5 or more to watch I think.

E: I am blown away with how well the wild things emerged onto the screen, they were just as I imagined they'd be if they walked off the pages of the book.
