Flips & Flops: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Movie Review
9:30 AM
It was a visual
representation of my imagination.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for
Peculiar Children movie visually fed my appetite. The gloomy setting of the
2016 island contrasted with the bright orphanage of September 3, 1940.
The orphanage was almost
exactly as I imagined it. It had thoughtful details such as a greenhouse.
The Characters
The characters were mismatched
from the book which was fine as the movie did justice to it anyway.
I really liked the actors
for Emma, Olive, Enoch, Bronwyn, Millard (even if it’s only a voice actor) and
Miss Peregrine.
The actor for Jacob felt
amateur. There were scenes in the movie that felt lacking of emotion from him.
I also felt frustrated with Jacob because he was so pathetic at times.
I love the chemistry between
Olive and Enoch! GAH!!! AND ENOCH!!! I was
so kilig sa cinema all throughout every time Enoch was on screen! Yun talaga
yun eh.
I also spotted a continuity
error with Emma. Emma had blonde eyebrows and there were a couple of scenes in
which she had brown. Gotcha!
The Flops
The movie was Miss Peregrine’s
Home for Peculiar Children Trilogy jam-packed into 1. That was why the pacing
of the movie was kinda fast. The kissing scene that almost happened between
Emma and Jacob when you think of it was too soon as when you look back in the
movie they barely spent time together.
The fight scenes in the
movie weren’t that serious which is why it was underwhelming, although the
eyeball eating Samuel L. Jackson was a nice touch in the movie.
The Flips
The plot twists in the movie
made me hold my breath. Especially yung
muntik na mamatay si ____ then he said “_______” yaass
My favourite peculiarity
from the movie was Fiona's who controls nature because that
is like my dream superpower since childhood.
Favorite scene was when Miss
Peregrine had the routine of killing the hollowgast that killed Victor and it has
its own body chalked on the ground.
