Most Disappointing Movie Of The Decade
Where the Wild Things Are
No real surprise here, I think. And it's really no failure on Spike Jonze's part. And the kid did a great job too. The movie was gorgeous, but guess what: we're not kids anymore. And maybe we should be more careful next time about putting all our hopes and dreams into one person's visual interpretation of what we all imagined when we were tots.
A friend of mine called the trailer "inspiring," which I always found odd, and while she certainly doesn't speak for everyone, her comment does nail the insane expectations people had for this one. And you can't blame her/us. The trailer nailed it.
