El hogar de Miss Peregrine para niños peculiares

Ideální předloha pro režiséra typu Tim Burton. Přesně pro něj je tato mysteriózní fantasy jako stvořená. A když si do hereckého ansámblu vybere Evu Green, Samuela L. Jacksona a Terence Stampa, úspěch musí být zaručen. Dvě hodiny poctivé zábavy se slušným finále. Možná nevydržím a přečtu si druhý díl v knižní podobě. (08.01.2017)

It's with a heavy heart that I rate as I do, because Danny Elfman's score is about the last thing Tim Burton's new film lacks. It's nice to look at, I was very pleased to see Eva Green finally playing something a little different, and the kids are also pleasantly weird, but it's SO boring, confusing towards the end, and the action is there just because, and so the special effects guys can make money... I haven't read the book, but I still want to read it – right now because I just believe it will be better. (14.11.2016)

It was seemingly inevitable for the idea of Ransom Riggs to merge with Tim Burton's imagination. The series dedicated to Miss Peregrine is based on a collection of specific photographs that evoke many associations in people, and that's why Riggs' publisher suggested that he complement these photographs with a specific story. At that time, Burton was slowly reevaluating his permanent team and retained only Eva Green from Dark Shadows. The result is a rejuvenated Burton in a fantasy style, less authorial, and more responsive to the changing tastes of contemporary youth. Yes, some elements wink at the once-famous "Burton-touch," but this time it's more Burton in the service of Riggs, although we briefly encounter the classic California suburb and shrubs shaped like dinosaurs reminiscent of the clumsy Edward Scissorhands. It's not a loss, but it's a compromise. I preferred Big Eyes more because it was truly a step forward, not to the side. (21.05.2024)

I'm not a big fan of Tim Burton, Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is the first film of his that I give an above average rating in 16 years. It has just the right magical, mysterious and fairytale aura that gets darker as it goes on. Eva Green is gorgeous, Samuel L. Jackson is amazing and the young Asa Butterfield is set to be an actor of the future. I liked the theme and the monsters, maybe it wouldn't have hurt to shorten the film slightly, but what the hell, I'm satisfied. More episodes are welcome. My only complaint might be the time loop, which is almost everywhere these days. 80% (05.11.2016)

Tim Burton decided to handle another horror fairy tale, the story of which really fits with his style. And you can really see how much he was enjoying himself making this movie. For instance, the final scene in the theme park is probably the craziest scene that Tim Burton ever created in image and sound. On the other hand, I had a bit of a problem with the way they explained the world. To be honest, I was getting lost in all those pasts and presents and even several days after I watched the film, I couldn’t really process how exactly Eva Green manipulated time. On the other hand, I got exactly what I wanted. Tim Burton had a blast once again with the story and all of that and I had the opportunity to enjoy all that with the works. The beginning of the movie in America is exactly like from the world of Edward Scissorhands; actually, that film will be alluded to several times. Old England is exactly the way you would imagine it would be in a movie by Tim. Difficult, mysterious, terrifying. All in one. What else can I say? In this respect, I was really satisfied. What I don’t understand however are the opinions of people who seem to be specialist assistants to that clown of a spokesperson of the Czech president who feel that Tim’s recent movies have been stale. I definitely disagree with that. The contrary. When he’s making movies in his name and not in the name of large studios, it’s still a pleasure to watch his flicks. (17.10.2016)
