Critics Consensus

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children proves a suitable match for Tim Burton's distinctive style, even if it's on stronger footing as a visual experience than a narrative one.

A fun show with nice little effects and a sweet story. Some of the narrative is convoluted and you have to look askance at it to make sense of it all. Predictable, but enjoyable and some cherry performances. Would make for a nice redo as a multipart series.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars

The movie somehow managed to deviate from the books to the point where the entire second half of the movie is different. Samuel L. Jackson is the only good thing about this movie.

It's actually not as terrible as I anticipated. True, the second half completely collapses under the weight of the convoluted plot but before that happens the movie is well paced and comically dark.

Overall, I actually think this movie is not a bad movie I think it's actually very well done, it does have a pacing issue But overall, the cast was done very well, and they acted very well, I thought that there was so much more that could have came from it, but they held off If they would have taking more time to focus on the film, instead of just rush, creating it, I think it would've been a lot better, but it's worth watching

Visually sumptuous but dull, this is not the joyously peculiar Burton of Edward Scissorhands or Beetlejuice, but a dialed-down version...

Miss Peregrine is a return to form for Burton.

Slashfilm

Despite its stated obsession with all things "peculiar," there's little about this movie that is actually surprising. It comes across like a movie going through the motions of setting up a franchise, not a movie eager to bring you on a wild adventure.

Rated: 5/10

A Sala Llena (Argentina)

Consequently, even if the script or the original idea is not his own, Burton always imposes his imprint on the story. The film immerses us in the mystery from the beginning with its monsters that mix the aesthetics of classic science fiction cinema...

Rated: 6/10

Deep Focus Review

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children feels strange for the sake of strangeness. This is a shame because there was a lot of potential to tell a story that resonated with young people who feel like outsiders.

Rated: 2/4

City AM

Burtons films have felt neutered over the last decade by expensive effects and family-friendly themes. Of his recent mainstream output, this is one of the more unrestrained and enjoyable adventures.
