Kyle G Good to great special effects, much scarier than what you might expect for a PG movie. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/13/25 Full Review Claudio C Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016) Delightful Original Adventure (11,962 – 15 Nov 2016 / 03 Oct 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) Jake (Asa Butterfield) is an outcast teenager that adores his grandfather Abraham “Abe” Portman (Terence Stamp) that used to tell stories of the orphanage in Wales where he was raised to him. When Abe is murdered in his house in Florida and has his eyes removed, Jake sees a monster and his parents take him to a psychologist. Jake asks to go to Wales to visit the orphanage and his psychologist agrees. His father Franklin Portman (Chris O'Dowd) travels with him to Wales and Jake discovers that the orphanage was bombed in 1943 by the Germans. When he decides to visit the ruins of the orphanage again, Abe finds a girl and soon he learns that the orphanage, the headmaster Miss Peregrine (Eva Green) and the children still exist trapped in a time loop. But they are in danger since monsters are hunting them down. And Jake has the gift of seeing monsters. What will Jake do? "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" is a delightful original adventure directed by Tim Burton. The fantasy is a sort of X-Men and is highly entertaining with lovely characters and evil villains. Tim Burton’s creativity once again is amazing. Despite the confused idea of time loops, the film entertains adults and children. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): "O Orfanato da Srta. Peregrine Para Crianças Peculiares" ("The Orphanage of Miss Peregrine for Peculiar Children") My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/04/25 Full Review Aluna U Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children offers a fascinating time-travel fantasy with strong visuals and decent performances, though it suffers from slow pacing and underwhelming conflict. Logical inconsistencies and overlooked details—especially regarding time-travel consequences—detract from the story’s believability. Despite its flaws, the film remains an enjoyable watch for fantasy lovers, though it leaves room for improvement in storytelling depth.

Maybe it’s just me getting older, but I really enjoy throwbacks to simpler stories—family, overcoming adversity, good vs. evil. Too often, movies feel like they’re trying too hard to be “relevant” or, at worst, end up pandering. Real life is already real enough; movies should take us away from that and simply entertain. And Tim Burton’s visuals? Absolutely stunning. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/27/25 Full Review Gareth v A visually captivating yet narratively uneven fantasy that shows Burton’s flair for the peculiar but falls short of his best work. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/26/25 Full Review Sabrina C. I love this movie! The story is charming and the characters are all exciting. Imagination has no limits here!
