Where The Wild Things Are

I think the book was turned into a movie pretty well. It conveyed everything the book had into a movie with realistic characters and realistic places. I out of opinion didn't like the movie that much, it sure wasn't my favorite and it was kind of weird at some parts. I laughed sometimes to because the main character max looks a lot like my friend Matthew and it was just weird thinking of Matthew being an actor. Anyways the part where Max takes the boat ride to the mysterious island was in the book and it was portrayed well. The part in the book where a forest becomes his room and trees pop up in places did not happen in the movie, it would probably be hard to make that happen but that is one thing that wasn't portrayed in the movie. Otherwise the others parts were nicely laid out and the emotions in the movie were definitely more relatable in the movie. Another part that was conveyed in the movie that was in the book were the animals he meets they all looked exactly the same just more realistic, and the way they act like Carol acts friendly in the movie most of the time like he does in the book. Overall the book was a good kid’s book and little kids should enjoy it, adults too but mainly kids. The book was successful in turning into a movie in many ways. There were just a few things that I didn’t like and that weren’t in the movie that were in the book, but it was pretty good overall I just wasn’t a big fan, it wasn’t much of a movie I would recommend to people or my friends to watch. But it did reflect the book very well and that’s all that matter.
