Depressing

I LOVE the book! While the book depicts a mischievous 6 year old taking you on a fun journey. The move missed the mark. It was Dark, dismal, depressing and anti climactic. Max is not a likable character. He is portrayed as a 9 year old troubled young boy fighting his own "monsters'. While I expected to be taken for an adventure through a child's imagination, I was taken on a social, emotional and disturbing journey. Max's anger and rage, his harsh and abusive actions to his dog and mother were very upsetting. As an educator of children, I clearly saw angle of the movie and the fact the monsters were text book coping for Max. I am sad they took one of my favorite books to such a dark place.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
