Assignment 17 - Maddie Klumb

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children - 3 stars

Overall Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children was well made. The graphics, creatures, and peculiarities were interesting and enhanced the mood of the unusual and kept me entertained throughout the movie. However, because I had not read the books I found the plot hard to follow and a little confusing. While I understand the movie is an adaption of the book, I think it should still make sense to those who haven't read the book. I also wish we would have been able to get more background on the peculiar children. The film was also darker than I was expecting based on the ads I saw on TV. I was also bothered that there didn't seem to be a clear ending to the movie as many plot points were left unresolved or unexplained. I might be tempted to watch the movie again, but it is not one that I could watch often.
