To start off, I’ve never read the book. And to be honest, now after watching the film, I don’t want to.
Jake’s grandfather just died. But he didn’t just die; he was murdered. In an attempt to reconnect to his late
grandfather, Jake follows his grandfather’s directions and goes to a small
island near Wales. While there, he
discovers that all the stories that his grandfather told him were true.
The story is great for a book, but not a movie. Or maybe they put too much of the book in the
movie. It just felt overwhelming.
Also there’s the subject about the loop. In the film, Miss Peregrine (Eva Green) has
to make a loop so that way her and the children stay in the same day
forever. I felt that there needed to be
more explanation as to why they stayed in a loop. In the film they just explained that they
would never grow older, but that didn’t seem like a good enough reason. Maybe I missed something.
The CGI was cool though and the powers the children
had. But it just wasn’t as exciting as I
thought. It just seemed too complicated
for me to concentrate on.
