Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children

This is one of the best movies by Tim Burton in a long time. As someone who has not read the book (I hate reading; lol), when I first saw the movie back in 2016, I didn’t know what to think. Now that I’m older and can appreciate cinema in all sorts of new ways, I really love this movie. It’s one of my favorite fantasy films that are not part of a large franchise. First of all, Burton’s last great movie was Sleepy Hollow. Everything since then has been adequate at most. This film brings him back to his roots while also giving us something new. It is a worthy addition to his library and provides a great story that gets better every time you watch it. I enjoy a lot from this movie. Firstly, the acting is great from pretty much everyone, even the children surprisingly. Eva Green and Samuel L. Jackson give fantastic performances as their respective characters Miss Peregrine and Mr. Barron. The story might not have the best organization, but the first and third acts have enough amazing things to make it well worth the watch. The love story between Jake and Emma is also brilliant and wonderful to watch because it combines two of my biggest fantasies (traveling back in time, and falling in love with a beautiful English girl). Also, based on everything I’ve heard about the book, I’m glad it was adapted the way it was. This may have been released in 2016, but it has the atmosphere of a classic movie. Important note: not an ounce of wokeness. You’re welcome. Enjoy!

Characters were wrong. Emma had Olives power, Olive had Emmas power, Olive was too old, Brownwyn was too young, and Enoch was too old ,Hugh was too young, and Fiona was too young.I want to know if this movie was based off of the boom or not. Its impossible for me to tell. Too many "mistakes" in the characters. I was disappointed.

This is strictly inappropriate, when I was little I watched this and I was horrified!

This movie was so good I had the best time watching it with my family it is scary but it is one of the best. Also some of the children in her home have amazing power.

This is a very good interpritation of the book. Is it close to books? No. Is it close enough to give them justice - yes. Purists will argue - let them. Very good entertainment and quality movie. Own it.

Tim Burton has always been a campy director but it's not his flaut for making Miss Peregrine's home for Pelicular children this movie was magical and mystic in every way possible. But the acting is horrible, the visual effects are kinda nice but the story of this film is descent and i felt i was watching a episode of a long lost magic horror tv show Samuel L. Jackson is trying in this film so as the rest of the cast members there are great. Tim Burton really tried to make a good film like Beetlejuice or Batman or Sweeny Todd which is one of my favorites. Tim Burton could do better but this one is a gem.

First of all, words can’t do justice to the level of spookiness that this movie exudes. Not many people have been touching on the fact that this movie is what I would call BORDERLINE HORROR (hello? Enoch bringing a kid BACK TO LIFE like some sort of demonic doll???????). I’m not even including the whole eyeball thing in that category, it was gross but not the creepiest part by far (which tells you a lot about the movie). Needless to say, something about it really got under my skin and haunted me to a point that I haven’t watched the movie since. I definitely won’t recommend this to anyone under 16, possibly even 18. THAT BEING SAID Complete terror being overlooked, it was a pretty good movie. I thought the acting was great, the scenery was beautiful (in a freaky way), and the characters were so diverse (also in a creepy way). So, to recap, it is a great movie if you do not get spooked easily, and if you are looking for some entry level horror to start your Creepy Movie Repertoire.

This movie blew me away. Confusing, and Creepy. Stunning, but creative. The visuals blew me away. Highly recommend for any fans of Fantasy. ———For the parents: This movie is PG-13 for a bad slang or two, no F-Bombs or Sh**. The action doesn’t get real graphic, but the monsters are kind of scary for any children under 9 or so. Not demonic, but it has an odd scene where, (SPOILER), the monsters eat children’s eyeballs. Over all, great movie.

Anybody else notice how bad the main guys acting is? I swear this guy is just reading the script off random objects in the room. I really love the idea of the movie but his monotone acting really got to me.

I was a small bit disappointed in the differences from the book, especially regarding Emma, Olive, and Enoch (oh god not Enoch) but if you separate the movie and the books, they’re both phenomenal.
