A instant classic. Although there is a rather corny part that I noticed and a few plot fillers where they needed a couple of extra minutes here and there it was very well written and wonderfully acted.
Overall I would give this movie a 7.5/10.
The Plot
No matter how miserable the rest of his life was, Jake always had his adventuring grandfather Abe to tell him exciting stories about the special children he knew when he was a teenager.
Emma the weightless girl, Millard the invisible boy, Bronwyn the impossibly strong girl, and Hugh the boy who had bees that lived in his stomach, along with others.
Fast forward to Jake at seventeen, he's lost faith in the stories his grandfather told him, but still goes to check on him to make sure he's okay. One night while at work his grandfather calls. He's in trouble something is coming for him. Jake rushes over to find out what's wrong. His boss drives him and they find his grandfather in the woods behind his house with his eyes gone. Jake is terrified as his grandfather tells him to hide, go to the island, to find the house, and talk to the bird.
For weeks Jake has nightmares and his parents make him go to a psychiatrist. The psychiatrist encourages the idea of Jake finding the orphanage that his grandfather was in. The one he always told Jake stories about, to put an end to the ideas of fantasy.
So Jake and his father go to a little island on the west side of England. Where Jake soon finds that his grandfather wasn't crazy. Or that he might just be.
After a couple of encounters with the peculiar children Jake finds out the truth about his grandfathers death, and the impending doom of the children.
Miss Peregrine, their carer, tells Jake about a group of monsters called Holos. The Holos and their human counterparts kill peculiar children to extend their own lifespans. Jake, like his grandfather, is the only one who can see these monsters. That is Jake's peculiarity.
Jake has to decide whether or not he will stay in 1943 with the children and his new found love interest Emma, or go back home to 2016 to his life and parents.
The decision isn't very difficult, except for the fact that if they succeed, time will be rewritten and his grandfather won't have died. So now he has to decide between the children, Miss Peregrine and Emma or seeing his grandfather again.
Some of my favorites moments of the movie are spoilers so I'll just say that it is a fun film. The characters are unique and similar to X-Men but more family friendly. It is definitely my favorite live action Tim Burton film.
Overall I would give this movie a 7.5/10.
