It is content to be simply and plainly correct when it could have been much more if they had only put a little more soul and less special effects into it. [Full review in Spanish]

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...

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 14, 2024

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.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 11, 2022

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 18, 2022

While Miss Peregrines Home For Peculiar Children is based on a book, Burton does a great job of making it feel completely original and, most importantly, like a Tim Burton film. Its enchanting, gorgeous, creepy, and mystical.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 14, 2022

The plotholes are plentiful at Miss Peregrine's Home, but so is the razzle dazzle.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 18, 2021

The material really is perfectly suited for [Burton].

| Original Score: B- | Aug 10, 2021

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children is Tim Burton's X-Men.

| Jun 27, 2021

[This] makes for a great Tim Burton-lite movie, and although he may have been somewhat trapped in another's universe, he does not skimp on his signature flair and scares.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 25, 2021

Has some beautiful images - like Emma Bloom, tethered to Jake like a balloon as he walks and she floats through an amusement park - but like many of Burton's recent films the story feels like an afterthought.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 1, 2021

While we've had no shortage of Tim Burton(TM) Films over the years, this is the first in awhile that's felt as distinct.

| Jan 5, 2021

For fans of Burton, this film will be a refreshing story and visual experience.

| Jan 2, 2021

Funny mischief and the spectacularly odd Eva Green help to spruce up the tired notion of X-Men-like mutants with superhuman powers.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Dec 5, 2020

It falls short of being the film Burton fans are likely hoping it will be.

| Original Score: 2.0/4.0 | Sep 17, 2020

The bad character development, the abundant plot holes, and the non-existent directing are simply unforgivable. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jun 28, 2020

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a perfect pre-Halloween adventure, a primer for scarier stuff to come, and I am genuinely pleased that Tim Burton has found a story that allows him to be subversive within a tale meant for children.

| Apr 28, 2020

Overall this movie is a little above average fair that moves around fast enough to not have you really think about the plot holes and why characters actually do what they are doing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 10, 2020

[A] a gloriously goth, visually imaginative, and engaging film yet with a caring, sweet edge.

| Oct 31, 2019

Burton has found a great home for his peculiar talents, and his fans should welcome it, and Miss Peregrine, with open arms.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 21, 2019

Although this is ultimately better than several of Burton's later fantasy extravaganzas, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children simply isn't peculiar enough.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Oct 2, 2019
