Etn 9 I recently rewatched this (I watch it when I was a kid for a school project but don’t rennet too much) and all I got to say it this is a masterpiece. This is a good example of redapting a book to a movie. They still respected the book to this day and while at it stand alone and adding it own thing ( unlike some movie these days cough cough). This is also another one that made the character come to life and don’t look absolute sh#t ( cough cough don’t always live off of cgi) and remover everyone that this was release 2009 where most thing don’t look to great since back then we don’t even have equipment that we have now didn’t exist. I’m somewhat disappointed how low the score is when the story and filming/editing is a masterpiece and should have been a classic and must watch for everyone (even if you didn’t read the book witch you should) I understand it more depressing in this movie then the book but god dam it it better then most thing I seen recently. Great job to cast and crew Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/24 Full Review Ella T Beautiful movie with beautiful visual effects. I don't think this was meant to be a children's movie at all, but in the most positive sense. Max gets to live in a world where archetypes of adults one would usually see in the real world are violent monsters. He learns that everyone grapples with their own inner struggles like he does, and he can't always "own the world"—own the attention of everyone—like he wants to. Those who complain about Max's violent and wild tendencies completely miss the point of the film, as he learns in the end that being "wild" can't solve every problem. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/24 Full Review Lauren H The story of a violent, bratty, out of control, dog-hurting, mentally ill future serial killer kid who spends time destroying things and being violent with his Jim Henson friends in his delusions. Literally, that's the most accurate explanation you'll ever read for this movie. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/24 Full Review Estevan G This is a visually stunning adaptation of a childhood imagination and family relationships. The performances are heartfelt, but its darker tone may not appeal to all. Overall, it's a beautifully crafted film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Khe-Thai Y A remarkably beautiful adaptation of a relatively simple yet beloved children's book. The film is uncompromising in its vision and it delivers a truly heart-felt and untethered narrative that leaves the audience to interpret its meaning however they please. A great deal of the characters and underlying themes have been expanded in such a way that the film is as relatable as the book was to every child. The book is now 60 years old and I believe the film will live on to be as timeless as the children's book undoubtedly is. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/15/24 Full Review Teddy B A different beast entirely from the classic source material. Spike Jonze's beautifully abrasive and pensive direction perfectly matches with the deeper undertones of the book. The effects are impressive, and the character interactions feel incredibly genuine and heartfelt. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review Read all reviews
