I saw this movie today at an advanced screening because the lead actor, Max Records goes to my school. Overall the movie was really good, it has that bit of childish fantasy mixed in with deeper plot points parents might enjoy. The movie was really fun and entertaining up until the last twenty minutes. It became a really dark and sometimes even frightening movie, this wasn't a bad thing, it just didn't feel like it fit with the rest of the movie. The wild things are done really well in that they don't feel like brand new characters, they feel like the books characters but expanded to give the story more depth. Overall it was a really enjoyable watch and i do recommend that you go.
