Miss peregrine and home for peculiar children review
“What will the photos reveal? Will Jacob find out the truth?” When 20th century Fox brought Tim Burton film which follows the adventure of Jacob (Asa Butterfield) as he tries to find the truth about the stories his grandfather told him. The movie is based off the Ransom Riggs novel of 'Miss peregrine and home for peculiar children’.
The director, Tim Burton puts his weird and wonderful twist on the novel. Tim Burton has also directed Disney's famous live action 'Alice in wonderland’. Some Tim Burton fans may say that it's one of the best movies he has ever directed but it still has it twist. Tim has brought in some fantastic children actor such as Asa Butterfield who portraits 'Jacob’ which is the main leading character. Asa has also been in 'boy and striped pyjamas’ (which he co-stars) and 'Hugo’ (which he is main character). He portraits the character perfectly from struggling with coping of the family tragedy, to the confidence to defend the children from danger which they find themselves in. Eva Green who plays the character of Miss peregrine, presents the character perfectly from the love and protective side of the children to the hard stern side she has to teach them to do well. In the supporting roles Thomas and Joseph Odwell (the twins), Georgia Pemberton (Fiona), Milo Parker (Hugh), Finlay MacMillan (Enoch), Ella Purnell (Emma), Hayden Keeler-Stone (Horace), Raffiella Chapman (Claire), Pixie Davies (Bronwyn), Lauren McCrostie (Olive) and Cameron King (Millard) help Jacob with his adventure of finding the truth and defending the peculiar children. The acting from all the children was amazing sadly with the younger children there isn't much character development which can leave some viewers questioning about what sort of character they could of been.
The story follows Jacob to Wales after a family tragedy, the 16 year old finds him inside the crumbling ruins of Miss peregrine's home for peculiar children. Jacob will find hidden truth that's lie within the walls of the abandon home. He learns that the peculiar children are much more peculiar than he first thought.
The movie allows the book to come alive even if the major female role was completely changed from the original book. Tim Burton has given the eerie story his famous weird and wonderful look about the story. Its worth sitting down and enjoying the journey of Jacob and the peculiar children.
