I've got to say I completely underestimated this movie. I went into the theater thinking it would just be another movie you just see once then never really talk about it again. Boy was I wrong. This has got to be one of the best movies I've seen all year. Just the look of the movie I thought was great. I thought it was amazing how they portrayed the characters and environments from the book and turned a 48 page book in a spectacular movie. The character that played max did a terrific job, I don't think it could've been played any better. From beginning to end it was a great movie experience. I will definitely be going to see this again and I really look forward for this movie to come out on DVD. If you haven't seen where the wild things are yet you need to get out and see it before you miss out on one of the best movies this year.
