After Jacob witness his grandfather dying he plans a trip so he could prove that his grandfather wasn't mad and that there really a re peculiar people. From the beginning it was very mysterious and terrifying but as movie goes and Jacob finds peculiar's movie just takes turn in amazing fantasy. Throughout movie Burton tries to hide details but they are almost every time so obvious and as movie is going more towards end it loses it's potential. Last 30 minutes as much as fun they were more than that they were dull and boring that much that drama in those scenes was laughable. As for visual effects and scenes movie just very beautiful and feels like fairy tale but very dark one. At the end movie totally turns for romance and emotions which was fine but not preferable. There was a lot of moments that are just skipped and throws us in different scene immediately. Eva as Peregrine was incredible, from charm to emotions she was great. Asa (Jacob) and Ella (Emma) felt like the lead characters and everything was about them, they are good both in their roles. Samuel L Jackson was Barron and it seems like he picked that role because it seemed fun to him but on screen he was not that intimidating despite his darkness rather character that you would laugh to. 2.5/4
