Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) by Cameron B — 09 Oct 2017

If one hadn't read the books this is indeed an entertaining film but if watched before or after the books you realise it's a rather poor excuse for a film. Many things are missing like the truth about Miss Peregrine and her family, what the actual plan was, the true breadth of Abe & Jacobs gifts, the realalisatuons of how peculiarities adapt to fit the person, the truth of why Abe Portman never reterned to his sorogate family on the idlsnd but what I can't forgive is the lack of a talking dog smoking a pipe.
