I think the main difference between them is that 127 Hours recognizes, near-constantly, what a dumbass move that was. The guy realizes that it was his own stupidity that got him in such deep trouble, and that had he taken basic preventative measures, he would have had a much easier time of it.

Whereas Into the Wild goes on and on about what a lonely, misunderstood hero McCandless was, and how his death was ~~so tragic in its pointlessness, instead of, you know, stupid.

TLDR tone matters

You're probably correct; I'll admit, I only watched the movie once, and that was in a class where the teacher idolized the 127 Hours guy, (constantly pausing the movie to talk about film technique and how amazing he was) and refused to see him as having done anything wrong, and I haven't watched the movie since. It's totally 120% possible that my perception of the movie is skewed because of that. ^^;
