Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children

This is a good film.

I mean I liked it, I like children's films which are slightly dark - A Series of Unfortunate Events.

And I also like Tim Burton, even if he hasn't got much originality...

I mean I can see what people mean by the second half being a plot so crazy that it tends not to make sense, and that's a small unlikable factor to it really. Some of the best characters vanish, and we're left with just the children saving the day, and it ends up with a slight air of 5 Children and It, Nanny McPhee about it. Which is getting deader by the year. 

Samuel L Jackson was possibly my favourite part about it, yet it was always gonna be hard to watch him play an enemy role without being able to swear. Like he did a good acting job here, but you could tell that he was trying hard not to drop f-bombs right and left. And if I were to say my favourite part of the film were him then that would be the honest truth.  

There's a Tim Burton cameo which I for one was so surprised by it, even if it a literal second shot of him getting hit by a walking skeleton. I never thought that he did cameos in his films, he didn't seem like that type of filmmaker - i.e. one with a big ol ego.
But yeah he is.

Rupert Everett is a good actor when it comes to comedy roles, I'm not used to seeing him in any other role really... apart from that pure joyous character in My Best Friend's Wedding. But I will say the one thing which impressed me with this film is the level of acting which has been produced, both from the young and old actors, I mean there isn't anyone who is really awful in it. And it is in the long run a good film, it's a fun film, with meaning, as well as a load of dark shit in it.
I can see what critics mean when not liking the second half of the film - they said it makes little sense. And I would agree with that, there is something about the ending which didn't sit too right with me, but then again trying to explain complicated time travel sends me up the walls. Afterall I feel that the first half is truly a good solid film, it's different, but the second half does loose that somewhat. But that doesn't necessarily mean the film is completely let down by it.

I.. I dunno how else to put it just go see it. This review is all other the shop.

Chris O'Donal should never do a fucking American accent again in the history of moving image - he wasn't even putting it on at one point, just pure Irish accent.
