For the most part, 'Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children (2016)' plays very closely to the pretty-much patented 'young adult' formula, except for the fact that much of it skews slightly younger than you'd expect and, in the process, seems to make for excellent family fair. That's why the occasional flashes of real darkness - including some fairly grotesque monsters, a tangible sense of threat that does more than just loom and a set of villains who often literally eat the eyes of their foes on-screen - are all the more pervasive and perplexing, seeming to reduce the accessibility of a story that's honestly better suited to those it scares off. Still, there's entertainment to be had in the predictable plot and the hammy villain, played by the always energetic Samuel L. Jackson, is having more fun than any of us or the rest of the decent but generally dull cast, which really shows and adds to the enjoyment of his scenes. The picture may be a little dry overall and it can get kind of dull, but it's not bad by any stretch and is even pretty enjoyable at times, too. 6/10

I read the 3 books and when I heard Tim Burton was making a movie I was so excited. I went to the cinema right away... and when I got out, it was the biggest disappointment of my life, the money I spend ... i could've bought 1 great book with it instead.+ The acting was great, the actors were good looking, the effect were fantastic.The story tho? I was so confused (even I read the books)... There was no logic in this, and the ending was BOTCHED, actually the whole movie was.They sh1tted on the original story. So sad.I am really being generous here, giving a 4/10.

Movie Review: "Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children" (2016)One of the most-anticipated as adaptively-difficult "Fantasy-Movie" as director Tim Burton settles his 1980s "Bettlejuice" roots with a major Hollywood budgeted movie for the whole Family with some scary moments, holding the children's Hands, when most of all the cinematography by Bruno Delbonnel and leading lady actress Eva Green, as vintage pipe-smoking orphanage leader in great costumes and décor, as the director fought through heavy visual challenges to deliver a solid entertaining movie for Peter Chernin producing in favors of a "Fox Studio Picture Release".FAZIT: Picture approved (havoc)Cinemajesty Entertainments 2018

When I first saw the trailer for the movie, it looked very interesting and good. And when I also saw that the movie would be directed by Tim Burton who I am a big fan of his work, I was really excited to go see this movie. But what I saw in theaters was a really boring and not a version of the book series. The only part of the movie I really liked was Samuel L. Jackson's character because he can always be the best part of a boring movie.
