Hobey ho Yall! So this afternoon I got to see Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children at my theatre this afternoon. First off let me say you guys need to check this one out! An amazing cast and an interesting story! Tim Burton directed this book adaptation from the novel of the same name. Now Note I have NOT read the book its based off of... But I did thoroughly enjoy the film. The Story was for the most part complete but with all things it has its plot holes.
So to start it off the biggest plothole that seemed to Be thru the main character {Jake's( Played by Asa Butterfield best known for his role as Mordered from the BBC's Merlin and Ender's game)} parents. Now you see what the hole is... is this so thruought the film they are shown to be for the most part unloving and Un caring about Jake. They go as far as to squash his theory about his grandfather and the stories Abe told Jake by making Jake go to a pshychiatrist and making him think nay believe he's crazy. The biggest issue I have with the film is this massive plothole! YES by the end Jake Just followed his grandfather's advice and found his way back to the time-loop he wanted to return too.... but I REALLY wanted/ expected Jake to return to His parents with proof, that picture for one, of some kind just to show them he is not crazy. also Another Part to this plot hole is the relationship between Franklin (Jake's dad) and Abe( played By the fabulous Terence Stamp) un-fleshed out. i would have loved to see What exactly happened that made their relationship so rocky.
Now the character of Jake was played splendidly well.... at least in my books it was! Asa Butterfield was remarkable! Miss Peregrine herself was fantastic as well, She was played by the fantastic Eva Green, of Dark Shadows(another Tim Burton film) where she played Angelique Bouchard, 300: Rise of an Empire as Artemisia, She is even a bond girl in the 2006 adaptation of Casino Royale, and as the lady Morgana in the STARZ TV adaptation of the Aurthurian legend Camelot. Grandpa Abe Was an Awesome character that was a big part of the movie! Terence Stamp (of the Christopher Reeve Superman fame, Smallville, and star wars fame) was fantastic in this role of the loving grandfather storyteller! now on to the big baddie of the film Barron (played By the AMAZINGLY STELLAR Samuel L. Jackson, The Star Wars prequel trilogy, Marvel Cinematic Universe, and a part of the amazing Anime Afro Samurai.) Whom even tho we didnt see much of had some fantastic lines in the end. Samuel really does make a fantastic Villian!
So we did have some different locations in the film and all were interesting. The Graphics were interesting. I think my favourite special effect was Miss Peregrine's bird transformation.
In the end the Movie was splendid and awesome! If You get a chance to see it please do go see it! I saw It In 2D at a Matinee and it w\as well worth it!
