Review of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) by Brad S — 11 Mar 2017

I was pretty disappointed in this latest effort from Tim Burton. The story isn't great, the film is too long, and it just seems disconnected from the type of fantasy stuff he used to do with more heart.

I really just didn't enjoy this film and found it rather creepy for a "family" movie, which of course he is known for but this time it lacks his usual passion. I think it is the overuse of CGI.

When he works on stop-motion animated films, you can feel and see the passion, but it is lost in the heavy CGI infused film like this, "Dark Shadows" and "Alice in Wonderland." Skip it.
