Not quite sure about this one....haven't seen a trailer or anything...

I'm not really expecting much. The last few children's books that have been made into movies have been disappointing. For instance: Bridge to Terabitha....nothing like the book at all!

Maybe they will do better with Where the Wild Things Are....it is such a beloved children's book...there will be a very big backlash if they mess it up!

I don't think they'll do a good job. It was such a good book why does it need a movie?

The trailer for this movie makes me weep, and I'm not ever sure why. I think it's going to be so moving though. Loved this book as a kid, and they've been working on this movie for 4 years! It's about time is all I can say! :]

The movie doesn't look all that good but I have to see it because I LOVED the book when I was a kid... I read it over and over.. so now I have to see the film.

Me too, my favorite childhood book. I'm afraid the movie won't do a good job. The book is magical!

what a wonderful idea to make this movie. i think i'm going to reserve judgment until i actually see the film though. you don't really get too much from the trailer. it does look like they decided to use more costumes rather than animation and i really appreciate that.

how exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

how can people say that this movie looks bad? the trailer is absolutely magical?! and the arcade fire song fits perfectly with the trailer. i have high hopes for this movie!

I haven't seen the trailer yet....I'm just not getting my expectation high based on the disappointments experienced when viewing other children's-books-turned-movies. So far, I haven't been impressed (Harry Potter is the exception, can you imagine the riots if they messed that up?)

I loved this book as a child!
Saw the trailer in the cinema the other night before HBP, and it looks so cute! The little boy playing Max is adorable! The trailer does look magical...

I'm not sure about this movie...the book was good, but I can't even picture it as a movie! I'm not liking the trailer...

Spike Jonze has been working on this movie for 4 YEARS. I think it's going to be great! :]
