Strong and Moving!

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

So this movie had a lot of potential, the first act of this movie was good. The characters are unique with all of their peculiar abilities, the acting is good, the cgi they used to make the monsters is pretty good despite the fact that the monsters were obvious knockoffs of Slenderman. But the romance that builds between the two protagonists is not very believable the "climax" wasn't anything to get that excited for, the end sequence where what's his name was basically traveling through time to get back to his friends made very little sense

This movie brought out the child in me. I was enamored with the colorful characters, the drama and fantasy. I didn't read the book so I have nothing to compare it to but I thought that it was fantastic.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: A fun Fantasy film involving time travel, monsters, fighting skeletons and a school for "gifted" children which is really different from Hogwarts. Eva Green is Miss Peregrine, monster killer and pedagogue supreme and an ace shot with a crossbow. Samuel L. Jackson is the Bond Villainesque baddie. Asa Butterfield is the new pupil travelling from 2016 to 1943, with Terence Stamp as his grandfather. 8/10.

I have seen several people score this movie with only 1 star. Did we watch the same film?? Visually, I could not take my eyes off the screen. I have also read the entire trilogy. I can understand why some people would dislike the fact that it is not an EXACT adaptation. Some of the children's peculiarities were switched. It sort of bothered me too, which is why I gave it an 8. Other than that, I thoroughly enjoyed this stunning film! Acting was spot on, even the smaller children just had it!!! Watch the movie for yourself before you judge it by some of these ratings.
