The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

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.

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.

The difference from the books allows this to be stand alone without driving you mental because you're left with a cliffhanger for a long time or, potentially, forever... if you enjoyed watch and enjoy it without reading the books??
Read them or get them on audiobook; you will LOVE them!!!If you've read the trilogy first and THEN watch the film. You're in for a wee change, but it sat well with me rather than be left in insane-land til I could get the next book, or chapter, or be able to see the bigger picture...

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.
