It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

For actors work. for interesting adaptation. for special effects. and, maybe, the only sin is to not guess ... the director. sure, it is a Tim Burton. but you have the certitude onlt after the read of credits. because something works well but not in the expected direction. short, you admire the actors and, especially Asa Butterfield . and you reflect about the other roles of each actor. not real fair. but useful for legitimate the interest for a film who could be little...better. or convincing. or example of Tim Burton mark. but, sure, a nice adaptation.

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.

Before I start I should perhaps mention that, although I consider this a family movie, it is perhaps a bit on the scary side for the youngest member of the family. Anyway, personally I liked the movie and so did my kids. It did have time travel in it which I, in general, utterly dislike but it is a Tim Burton movie so it was already a foregone conclusion that it would be a wee bit bizarre anyway and it had Eva Green, which is one of my favorites, in it so that kind of made up for the time travel crap.The movie starts of by Jacob watching his grandfather being murdered by some mysterious being that only he can see. Of course everyone believes that he was hallucinating and so off we go with hospitals and shrinks and so on. Finally his parents allow him to travel to the island of Cairnholm in search of the mysterious Miss Peregrine.From their on we wander into the wonderful world of "Burtonesque" bizarreness, fantasy and general weirdness. Naturally Jacob meets Miss Peregrine and her kids. Kids who each have some peculiar talent each more weird than the other.Naturally there are a some bad guys lurking in the shadows as well. Bad guys intent on destroying Miss Peregrine's shelter and ... well, let us just say that they are not exactly concerned for the children's wellbeing. I liked the bad guys. Both in their half human form and their more scary monster form. I especially liked Samuel L. Jackson as Barron, the boss bad guy. He really made an excellent performance.The one person I did not like was Jacob's father. Apart from being a jerk he looked like he was on drugs or sleeping pills throughout the entire movie.On the whole this was perhaps not the best of Tim Burtons movies but it was still a good and enjoyable one. Decent special effects. The story worked despite the enormous paradoxes introduced by the time travel stuff. The characters did a fair performance. I did not regret the 2+ hours I spent on watching it.

Watched this with one of my granddaughters and rather enjoyed it. I have never been particularly drawn to the world of Tim Burton but have to confess that here he displays a considerable hold over a seemingly disparate cast whilst always ensuring that the picture looked good. The beginning was intriguing, mysterious and involving. It was also well paced and we seemed to race into picture that I had feared I might sleep through. No fear of that, even if it does lapse a little in the middle, we are soon up and running for a resounding finale. My main trouble was when the film decided to take the absurd plot, time loops and all, seriously. Here I found myself glazing over and wondering if the young lady with me was following it. No worries it really doesn't seem to matter whether you believe or not, the characters are appealing, what they do amusing and it all makes for a truly exciting conclusion.
