The 30 Day Movie Challenge: Day 17

Day 17 – A movie that disappointed you the most

Where The Wild Things Are

I pride myself on being a pretty good judge on whether a movie is going to be good or not.  And since I am quite the movie snob, I rarely dance around in the sub-par movie levels where it may be harder to judge whether a film will be good or not.  Undoubtedly Transformers should either be here or a close second, but since I have already referenced it above I decided to pick something different.  Arcade Fire is, at least of the modern age, one of my favorite bands, therefore when their song Wake Up was used for the trailer, I was quite excited.  Needless to say the fact that is was Where the Wild Things Are also made me excited.  Unfortunately, the movie was pretty sad, annoying, and dragged on, even though it was under 2 hrs long.  I admit that there was a lot of whimsical beauty in the music, costumes, buildings, and scenery, but unfortunately that only counts for a small portion of what's consider a great movie.  By the end, I was ready for the credits to roll, 2 of my friends actually walked out before it was over.
