Usually when hype reaches a certain level, there's no way a movie can match the expectations of such a diverse audience composed of viewers young and old, far and wide. However, Spike Jonze pulls it off somehow. He redefines the adaptation with something magical. He characterizes life and emotion into a visual treat that can only be described as beautiful. With special effects all spot on, wonderful cinematography, and performances of all of the characters - especially Max (the kiddo) - brings the unlikely story of a self-proclaimed king of a world that's not the easiest to grow up in... to a believable fairy tale life. Loved it. 8.5/10.
