Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children Review
Miss Peregrine’s Home had the potential for new Hogwarts and the only movie to come after Harry Potter franchise in the genre to create some interest. David Stratton of The Australian gives the movie a thumbs up for visual effects which no doubt looks expensive. But he thinks the movie is charming and interesting mostly into the first half. It gets monotonous after that, and the whole exercise of capturing multiple villains goes on a bit too long.
Peter Traver of Rolling Stone echoes this sentiment, but urges you to experience the weird world Tim Burton has created. He thinks that the movie is a bit overstuffed with a lot of things happening and yet loses steam before the end of the movie.
The consensus seems to be that the world Tim Burton has created in the movie is surely worth experiencing. The movie is full of fantastic moments and surprises that will keep you busy. Audiences have received the movie well with nearly seventy percent critics and viewers giving it a positive review.
