Is a fucking masterpiece! Never, did I think that a cinematic film of a book would be as fantastic as this was. I honestly was wondering if they were going to ruin the book, I feel ashamed that I ever thought this. It starts out sort of "boring" I guess you could say, but that is just to build up the character Max. The "monsters" from the island where 100% identical to the ones that were illustrated by the author in the storybook (I came home and my girlfriend went to check, she was astonished).
I loved the book, and am a big fan of the movie. It did happen to make me cry, what part made me cry you will have to watch it for yourself to figure that out. The movie also has morals, if you watch it carefully you will be able to pick up on the story that is trying to be portrayed.
What really blew my mind was that they managed to take a book that takes the average reader about three to five minutes to read into a full length film. Honestly, I have never been so impressed in my life.
District 9 was schooled by a "make-believe" child's tale... Honestly, best movie yet.
A must see & buy!
