where the wild things are

I think this was a successful film adaptation. The movie portrays the book well in my opinion. It makes the film much more pleasing to watch when the editing techniques are used. The close ups and extreme close ups really showed emotion and feelings that book really doesn't. However I think that the movie was very stretched out. The book was originally not very long and the movie just seemed to stretch everything to the point where it was not very entertaining to watch. I thought the ending was rushed in the movie. It seemed like it was sloppily put together and not much thought went into it. the book gave a better ending and paced it correctly in my opinion. The book and the movie had similar traits. And spike jonze did a pretty good job recreating it. I was not able to watch the entire movie, but from what I observed the film and the book were similar. I even preferred the film over the book. I liked the monsters and they way they were presented. In the  book  I really didn't like the way it was illustrated. All the lines made my head hurt. Also in the book it was a snowball fight but in the movie it turned into a dirt war. there were just tiny little mistakes that changed the movie slightly. I think in the movie the setting was beautiful and portrayed an island much more beautifully than the book
