just got back from a midnight showing of this...was NOT impressed. Visually it was awesome, and the kid playing Max is phenomenal in it, but without any semblance of journey for the character...without learning anything, without the story actually GOING anywhere, and without Max leaving the Wild Things with some sort of epiphany, when the credits rolled I turned to my BF and said, "what the hell just happened?"
I suppose it's "brilliant" in its ability to tell a story like a young boy would (meandering, unforused but obscenely creative, etc), but I mean...how many times have you listened to a young kid tell stories? It's amazing and fun for ten minutes, then not so much.
