Honestly speaking, I didn’t intend to watch this movie. I watched it on theater for a friend’s sake. But at the end, I guess I liked it more than my friend did. Director Tim Burton’s film, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children is based on the best-selling novel by American author Ransom Riggs.
Miss Peregrine is the headmistress of a small school and harbors superpower children (it reminded me of X-Men & Harry Potter series). The story also roamed around a teenage boy Jake who, following a tragic death of his beloved grandfather, follows clues that take him to an abandoned orphanage on a mysterious Welsh island.
Miss Peregrine has the peculiar gift to manipulate time and to change herself into a Peregrine Falcon. She has been living the same day again and again for ages with his special children. This newfound information takes Jacob on a time-traveling, magical journey that changes his life forever.
The enigma and uncertainty deepen as Jake gets to know the children and discover their special powers and their peculiar enemies. Sooner or later, Jake discovers that only his special “peculiar power” to see the monsters can save others.
Film’s visual effects are amazing and a treat for the eyes. The young cast and creative team of Miss Peregrine does an incredible job. The movie is made with 3D effects which are great and gives us an unforgettable experience. Thus if you love adventure, fantasy and if the kid inside you is still alive, you must go & watch it. Stay Peculiar.

It’s a visual treat with surprising characters. Cinema Trace – https://cinematrace.com/
True, a visual treat to eyes..
Yes 🙂 Honest review!
I was so excited to see this movie but when I finally saw it, I didn’t think it lived up to what I wanted it to, the idea was perfect for a story and could’ve played out better.
Yes I heard the book is far better.
I wasn’t planning to watch the movie as I always try to read the book first. But ended up watching the movie with my fiance and we really loved it, likewise to what you said it did somewhat remind me of X-Men and Harry Potter series but loved this film. The little strong girl was a favourite.
P.S I am a new blogger and would love if you beautiful people could check/follow it. Thank you in advance 🙂
Sure would love it. Be in touch.
Awesome
The Books are amazing!!!! So much better than the movie..which I was very disappointed in..but I highly suggest reading the books!
I completely agree with you. They miss a lot of facts and scenes while shooting.
Yes! And where did that amusement park/skeleton fight come from?? I was very confused lol
Haha.. It happens
I enjoy your perspective on this film. Unfortunately, it didn’t capture me and I left halfway through… 🙁
Aw.. That’s okay. Never mind.
As we say here (or did way back in the ’70’s LOL): “Different strokes for different folks.” 😉
Well said.
I loved it x
I’ve only read the book. It’s intriguing! 😀
Thanks for the review and pics – makes me want to see it!

I enjoy these movies I still have two young grandkids left and truth be told, I have a total of six. And boy I enjoyed the movies.
Thanks
Oh that’s great.. Hope you keep enjoying with your grandkids. And I am a girl. Thank you for your comment.
Anything that Tim Burton does tends to entertain me. He defines weird in a new way. Peggy and I enjoyed the characters and thought the movie was superbly strange. –Curt
Glad you shared it here. . Thanks for your meaningful comment
I watched and enjoyed this movie as well but have yet to read the book. Probably will not now that I’ve read this wonderful review 😉
I’m yet to watch this but I have the book and will read it soon.

I finished the book recently and have been excited to watch the movie. Great review! Glad to hear you enjoyed it 🙂
Have not seen it but my daughter, 15 yr old wants to when it arrives in UK, but she loved the books for sure. Great concept……a home for peculiar children! I sometimes think I run one myself.

Oh that sounds interesting.. thank you for letting Me know
Your welcome
There is so much competition this year in movie quality.
This is one of those I really want to watch but I’m not willing to spend the time, or the money 🙁
I’ll have to wait for the dvd I think
This movie seems rather interesting.
I was wondering what this movie was about when I saw the ads. It sounds fun!
Nice one! It’s looks interesting, and yeah I am a biggest kid I don’t Know for how long I am going to be like this 😁
You have given me a the title of my next movie to watch…. Will watch it by weekend. The urge is now strong for the movie even when my friends have told me to do it.
Brendascouch.com
Wow..then think about the novel.. quite interesting
My friend and I will watch that movie next weekend. She said she already watched it three times and would love to watch it again with me. 🙂
nice review..shall watch the movie
Thanks for the tip! This does look like a good movie. 🙂
I have actually never heard of the book or the movie, but i absolutely love when you go to the movie without the highest of hopes and the movies surprises you and you end up liking it!! glad you enjoyed it 🙂
Been meaning to see this. Since I have two kids, I’m always on the lookout for children’s movies that are fun for adults too. I’m also convinced the weirder movies are good for my kids’ creativity, lol
Enjoy it ☺
Like someone above, my daughter asked me to go with her. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Good review.
Wow 😍
I went to watch this a couple weekends ago at my friend’s urging. I got the X-Men vibes as well. It was an entertaining movie, for sure!
Watched it yesterday. Had read the book. Tim Burton is always good!
I haven’t seen the film but I have read the books. Sometimes you don’t want to see the film when you have your own imaginations
Thank you! I’ve been looking forward to seeing this; can’t wait!
I never read the book – but it certainly looks like an interesting movie!
I’ve been wanting to read this book for I while… maybe I’ll check out the movie too….I didn’t even know there was a movie until this post😂
Glad now you know
I watched it the week it went out! I love Tim Burton but I adore Eva Green and my friends chose the movie instead of going to the museum! ^^
I loved it, also it was not as scary as I would have like, especially considering how creepy (But AWESOME!) some of those kids are (I hate bees, I cannot ell you how many times I cringe when that boy opened his mouth).
My friends debate on how the grandfather could be alive when they turned back time in the new loop, and I must admit, I did not get that either.
But aside this confusion, it was a great movie, I love that you posted on it ^^
Thanks for sharing, cheers!
Thank you for sharing with us your wonderful experience.. And ah that little boy with bees was little creepy to me too.. I loved the scene when ship came out of the water.. It was incredible.. Glad you had an amazing time too
I loved that scene too! The effects were
right on point! And you’re welcome! ^^
Tim Burton is off the chain… That was a great review!
I am soooo looking forward to watching this movie!!

After reading your post feel like watching the movie 😊
my children have been prodding me to watch it with them but I always say no….ahh I guess i should. ..Thanks for sharing your thoughts
I am glad your kid’s will be happy now..
I think I should watch this
Do share your views
I will
I’m glad to know that the movie turned out well because the book completely failed to impress me.
Aw I haven’t read the book so can’t comment on it.. If you plan to watch the movie anyhow, do share your good or bad experience with us..
You haven’t missed out on much if you haven’t read the book. I will surely watch the movie now after your encouraging post 🙂
very rarely i watch movies especially in a theater.. but this time, your views inspires me..
Oh but don’t forget to take a kid with you.. What if you don’t like it 😲
ha ha.. will do..
Thanks for the review 🙂
Those pictures looks creepy hehe but the 3D experience is good? Not scary?
Ah the movie is not scary.. There are few visual effects in the movie which you are really gonna enjoy in 3D.. I have a tendency to remove my 3D glasses in every movie, but in this one I actually forgot that I am wearing one..
The last 3D movie I saw was Avatar and it was my most favorite one. I will go see this one soon then. Thanks!
I enjoyed the book, the creepy black and white pictures made it so eerie to read in the near dark. I may have to watch it, Tim Burton never ceases to amaze
Oh and I look forward to read the book.. Haven’t read it yet.. Do lemme know if you like the movie or not?
I will do, I may watch it tomorrow as you’re short and sweet review has got me intrigued. The book is brilliant, I can see why it is a best seller
Well . . .same stuff with me! It was my daughter who wanted to see it! Great effects! Long movie but not boring! Interesting loop concept! Never imagined something like that! Revive for ever a nice day!
Few effects were really amazing like when ship came out of the water.. My gawd.. Can never forget that.. Obviously it’s a kid’s stuff.. Anyways who cares…
