Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) by Tlhg — 30 Sep 2016

So, Tim Burton`s X-Men is a pretty decent movie. I am a complete ignorant about the book series, so my perspective is blind to whatever the books guard and the film neglects. With that in mind, the story is pretty intriguing, although a little bit random or too convenient at times, so prepare your mindset not to be too picky if you wanna enjoy the movie.

The first act is long and slow, but you can focus on the grandpa (a very good presence in the story overall, despite...SPOILER REFRAINED!) to make it feel faster. The second act is pretty cool, as meet the peculiar kids and their problem.

Pretty much a Harry Potter meets X-Men, but not as good as the former and not as cheesy as the latter (has become). The third act is what every action movie has for a third act nowadays (not gonna give spoilers, but I bet you can guess), but it`s not bad.

.. it is okeyy. Overall, the movie is not as unique as stuff Burton has made before (I guess he is slowly loosing his edge), but it is quite entertaining to watch in the movie theater after-all.
