Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
torarora I am giving this movie 4 stars only as a respect to the book as I love them and the ideas that are implemented to the story. I have read the books and I loved them that said I am not one to cry if a movie sails away from the book. But this was just awful. Tim Burton has sold out plot and story-telling to visuals and action, which I can't really blame him for as he decided to put content of 3 books into one movie. There was no character development, there was no time to get to know the main character, the relationships between characters have grown almost out of nowhere with no chemistry whatsoever. Hollowgasts that are terrifyingly strong and dangerous in the books are defeated by plastic skeletons in a 7 minute "epic" battle with the most boring ass carnival music in the background. I honestly cringed through the 7 minutes. Plot making zero sense, characters behave irrationally and out of character, I really find it hard to believe that the children from the book would have the courage to fight their most feared enemy after in a 2 day interval just because Jake, their hero that they've only known or 2 days gives them some sort of super courage that they can fly around and walk around invisible around fearless. Not to mention the villains, not terrifying at all, honestly Samuel Jackson's character was more cringe that Swartzenegger's villain from Batman. The plot rushed with many plotholes and loopholes to give the audience at least a bit of an understanding.And the acting. HOLY CRAP! The only good acting was the acting of Eva Green, I thought she was brilliant actually, otherwise it was just cringy and not believable at all. The main character's acting was probably worst of all followed by Emma's.I am so dissapointed, this had such a potential if only they made it into at least 2 movies and tried to develop the characters more. Tim Burton is no longer trying to make art, he is only trying to make money, relying on his fame and past contributions to film industry.
barberic-695-574135 Not quite sure what to say about this sad attempt at a "time travelling" school for X Men kids. I really thought this was going to be an exceptional film. A strange beginning then it just sort of ran out of steam. I was looking forward to some stunning SFX, sadly disappointed. As for the story line I guess it was conceived on the back of a beer mat in some draughty pub in the moors after a substantial amount of "real ale". Will we be watching it again? No. Not retained for future viewing.
Páiric O'Corráin 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.
minhhd Well... 8 star for concept, 1 more for the Headmistress actor and... minus 6 for all the crap which've put in the movie. Honestly base on this concept they could have done a much more successful series like pirates of the caribbean.
