Where the boring and depressed things are (2008)

"bizarre behavior which totally embarrasses the viewer"

"The monsters on the island are nothing more than large Muppet like creations."

I honestly didn't get it. The wild things were mean to each other, the wild things were mean to the boy, no one was happy (especially my kids).

Our nearly seven-year-old daughter and her friend were bored to tears, our two-year-old was freaked out, and our whole family felt simply awful afterwards.

I think Saw VI would have felt more uplifting than this.

"growling and wearing the stupid wolf costume -whoa now that was disturbing."

the wild things had scowls on their faces the whole time and walked around in a kind of trance like state glaring and yelling at each other.

It's not wacky or funny. Not colorful or exciting. There's only about 10 minutes of what I'd call "fun".

It's troubling, confusing for children, confusing for adults (as in WTF?), and overall pretty pathetic.

Max never solves any of the monsters problems by the time he leaves

he comes across as a neurotic schizophrenic who suffers from ADD and multiple personality disorders,he also looks like he's on drugs half the time.

"why don't the monsters try and eat Max when he was one of the worst kings they ever had?"

It looked like a fun book for a kid when I looked at the cover illustration, but when I read it, it came across as silly nonsense.

I remember reading "Where the wild things are" many, many times.

how do you turn a nine sentence children's book into a movie?

I thought that the reworking of the story in this way was unnecessary.

This movie did not follow the book! I understand the book was short, but come on, at least it kinda made sense!


PS.
Carol's model of the island did not actually match the island.

PPS.
it is never explained what Carol has against Terry and Bob

LotR: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001)

"Is this movie based on a book?"

This film is perhaps a good movie

This was like watching a very prolonged game of dungeons and dragons.

a 3 hour Sinbad-Hercules-Xena Warrior Princess sword & sorcery adventure

Some of the fight scenes are good in places



There are now only two movies that made me sleep in the theater. They are "Wag the Dog" and "Lord of the Rings."

BORING with a capital B!

The hobbits are dumb and small, the wizards are not magic.

As for the rest of the cast, a good bath wouldn't hurt them.


You´re all victims of a great advertising-campaign.

I have to give this 1 out of 10 just to counter-act all the perfect scores that the geeks have awarded it.

I beg of you people on this site to vote 1/10

Am I the only person in the world?


I can not put into words the hatred I have for this movie. The hatred comes from the depth of my soul. I HATED it!!!!!! The first half hour was pretty cool.


This movie has a very disappointing ending.

this movie has no ending!

people said it is a trilogy and has three parts


in the long term, it will be another Willow.

It is impossible for me to tell you how
