Title: Too long and boring
Review: 10 years ago, I read Into the Wild, and became so bored with it that I didn't finish it. 10 years later, I watched Into the Wild and became so bored with it that I stopped watching it (I did finish it the next day). The biggest thing wrong with this movie is the story it tells. A 23 year old college graduate wanders off and travels across country with the ultimate goal of going to Alaska. Meanwhile, his family thinks he's probably dead. The movie tries to explain his actions are because his parents fought a lot and were really wealthy and materialistic. The disturbing thing about this movie is that he is portrayed as some kind of hero that escapes our horrible "society". Please. The guy was obviously mentally ill, but the movie conveniently leaves this out. I feel bad for the guy's family after watching this. Into the Wild is a long, bad, bloated, and ultimately disappointing movie.
