monster agnst is boring

One of my all times favorite book as a child and now to read to my own young children as a mother thankfully never quiet delved to deeply into monster psych. From what I've learned from the movie is that it is a dark and tortured place. I have a hard time believing that Sendak wanted his monsters to be such sad and complicated creatures. Although the movie itself was beautiful and the pictures on the big screen truly did bring the book's illustrations to life, the plot dragged and the characters were unlikable. My six and four year old were bored and I left the theater depressed. There is no way that the tone of the movie matches that of the book even if visually it's right on the mark..
No, I do not recommend this movie.
