I watched the movie because the premise seemed interesting. Unfortunately, the directors, producers, and cast failed to truly captivate my attention. The plot isn't well developed or explained. I'm sure the book was more thrilling than this.

Burton is just trying too hard anymore. There's no more human dialogue or action. Everything has to be incredibly magical or absurd.

Everything has to be incredibly magical or absurd. From Batman to Edward Scissorhands, the concept that made those movies great was the contrast between reality and fantasy. Also, did you ever notice that everyone cast for Burton films now has to have the largest, beautifully colored eyes? He needs to knock that off. It's not enchanting. It's retarded. Poor guy. He's another in a long line of artists who has become a caricature of himself.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is mash-up of X-Men, Groundhog Day and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask where the main character permanently has a Lens of Truth implemented in his eyeballs and the Slender Man makes several cameos. And ... that's the entire film. I hope you enjoyed it! As for me, as I saw too many recycled concepts, in addition to the storyline being rushed at several points, making it impossible to keep track of what was going on ... I wish I had passed. And last but not least, this is yet again ... a film where Allison Janney makes a super unnotable cameo ... but hey, she got paid, so all's good.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie wasn't great the characters were swapped around the book and author insulted. The only good thing about the movie was Eva Green, normally love Tim Burton however this time he shouldn't of attempted. What he did was sacrilegious a horrible abortion is the best way to describe it. Personally it felt like a cheap knock off of the story.… Expand

The plot is a joke. It makes 100% no sense AT ALL. Secondly the characters are a joke as well. They make no sense at all. Finannly, the movie is boring as crap.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This crap film does not deserve a full review, so here's the pros and cons in lieu of that. But, if you just want to see Sam Jackson chew a bowl of children's eyeballs while British mutants fight off Slenderman (almost quite literally the film copies the Slenderman design), then this is the film for you.

PRO:

- Above average flying bimbo gets wet quite often
- Sam Jackson looks like he's having fun as he chews through the scenery
- I, uh...

CON

- Some of the worst acting I've seen in a film recently
- Awful special effects
- The mutants, sorry peculiars, don't really have powers, they are more like random things such as shooting out bees or being retarded. They act retarded, so I'm gonna call them retarded. - Sam Jackson and a bunch of his jolly friends eat a bowl of kids eyeballs (not sure if this is good or bad yet)
- The enemy mobs are QUITE EFFING LITERALLY clones of Slenderman. Serious wtf, are we not supposed to notice this blatent rip off.
- the acting on the main kid is pungent, as if he is in a green screen room away from the rest of the cast
- I hate Ms. Peregrine's stupid hair
- The plot was made up on the fly it seems. None of it makes a lick of sense. Time travel, WW2, Mutant powers, Slenderman, poor special effects, none of it makes sense

Tim Burton needs to stop making films. After Beetlejuice, Edward Scissor Fingers and Batman, his karma ran out. Please stop Tim, you're a hack.… Expand

Meh. That about sums it up.

-Way too much of the movie is spent getting to this place.
-The acting is not even good, let alone great.
-The characters aren't likable or whimsical.

Just go watch the first Narnia movie again instead.

Les plus grands souffleront d’ennui devant la naïveté habituelle du réalisateur bien connu pour ses histoires à la mords-moi-le-noeud, d’autant que ceci expliquant cela, ça dure deux plombes bien pesées (et pesantes) qui plombent l’atmosphère et tout le film avec.

Avec tous les efforts du monde (ou presque) j’ai tenu à peu près trois quarts d’heure, surtout parce que je voulais voir notre Eva Green nationale (et internationale a fortiori !) qui campe avec aplomb une directrice belle et élégante et qui veille (et surveille) sa smala de nabots et ados aux super pouvoirs à la noix. Cette gentille guimauve amerloque utilise certes de jolis effets spéciaux mais c’est pour mieux nous endormir et nous assommer (encore !) avec sa niaiserie décidément très envahissante.

Bref, le père Burton qui a rarement signé de bons films démoule donc ici (encore !) un étron abrutissant dont il a le secret et la recette… décidément infaillible : à (presque) tous les coups, ils nous les brise sévère avec ses conneries nunuches ! faudrait peut-être changer de disque un de ces quatre, Burton !… Expand
