Rating:  - Into the ild. The Movie
Wow. A great performance by Emile Hirsch. picked up the movie because i couldnt find anything else. then it became one of my favorites instantly. I dont read books....ever. but i actually read the book after watching the movie. 5 stars
Rating:  - The end result of impractical idealism
*alert* Filled with spoiler potential *alert*
Portions of Into the Wild were beautiful. The natural landscapes and odd characters were often compelling. However, the end of the movie was ruinous and unappealing. Into the Wild is not a story of hope, transcendence, or overcoming. It is, instead, a story of failure.
I'm sure many viewers will be able to relate to the main character's need to explore himself and the world around him. Emile Hirsch plays Chris McCandless very well. However, I question the logic of glorifying a life filled with what I consider bad choices. Perhaps there is a lesson to be learned here. I will let you the viewer decide for yourself. Be aware before you decide to spend a few hours with this movie that there is no fairy tale ending.
Nature can be cruel and Alaska is wild. McCandless saw, heard, felt and tasted things many of us will never experience. Is that admirable? Decide for yourself.
Rating:  - Dull
This is just my opinion, a priviledged kid quite possibly suffers from a mental disorder, reads a book on wild berries and which ones will kill you after he makes and eats his all natural trail mix. Oh my gosh was this movie boring. I normally like documentaries or movies based on real life experiences but this was just long and boring. If you suffer from insomnia buy this movie but if not I would skip it.
Rating: - THANK GOD AMERICANS CAN BE DIFFERENT!
THIS MOVIE ON A YOUNG GUY WHO TOOK THE CHANCE OF THINKING AND BEHAVING DIFFERENTLY(IN TERMS OF WHAT ONE WOULD EXPECT FROM HIS BACKGROUND) AND ACCORDING TO HIS IDEAS IS MANGIFICENTLY WELL ACTED AND PRODUCED. I HOPE SOME AMERICANS WILL TAKE INSPIRATION ON THIS MOVIE.
Rating:  - Well made movie, a little disappointing
I know I'm not supposed to review a movie based on how it's been adapted from the book, but it was a little disappointing.
The book focuses on how Alex(Chris) touched and affected people around him, which left a big impression on me. Their stories are heartbreaking.
On the other hand the movie focuses on Chris himself (which is an understandable decision as the movie runs for only so long). The trouble is I'm still not able to understand him any better.
