A heart-warming story of a young boy coming of age
Advantages: Beautifully shot, excellent performance by the young Max
Disadvantages: Deceptively simple!
Where the Wild things are is a coming of age story about a young boy called Max. It is based on the children’s book of the same name by Maurice Sendak. Apparently this is quite an old and famous book written in the 1960’s but I haven’t come across it and so wasn’t familiar with the story. The film is currently showing in cinemas across the UK.
The film tells the story of a young boy called Max who has an active imagination and is a bit of a tearaway. ...
...about to create a kingdom where they can do exactly as they please but as the story develops tensions grow between Max and the animals, some of whom do not believe Max is a good king. Will Max conquer the wild animals and in doing so his inner demons too? I’ll let you watch and find out!
I think the story works on many levels. It can be seen as a simple children’s tale of a boy going to an island and meeting some wild animals. This is what I thought ...

Do not buy this for the 3D version
Advantages: 2D version is fantastic
Disadvantages: 3D version is terrible
...I am specifically concentrating on the Blu-ray version, which shows the movie in either 2D or 3D. Firstly, this is one of my favourite Christmas movies, and I couldn't wait for it to be released in 3D on Blu-ray. The movie comes with a very attractive Lenticular sleeve, with a huge '3D' on the front, all looks very promising. there are two discs in the box, a Blu-ray disc that shows the movie in either 2D or 3D, plus an additional disc that has the ...
...pairs of 3D glasses within the box. As soon as dark fell, my wife & I settled down to be amazed by the 3D effects, as we had been with Journey to the Centre of the Earth in 3D. Within 10 seconds, I wondered if I has the glasses on the wrong way around, but no, they were on correctly. Because I really wanted to love this version, I thought 'stick with it, your eyes will adjust and get used to it' Unfortunately they didn't, after less that 10 minutes, ...
