the effects were great. The story line and somebody the acting not so much. The movie starts off slow but if you like Tim Burton there's enough to get you to the better parts. Might be a bit scary for children.

Fantasy with amazing graphics. Enchanting magic!

Great looking movie, but should have stuck to the plot of the book.

didn't get to see it do to the fact the theater locked us out and we never even go to use our tickets.

Too cheesy and less action unlike the book

Awesome! Not for very young kids unless they're ok with the whole eating eyeballs thing.

slow progression and was hoping it would be borderlinre cerebral. A lot of potential that ended less than what you'd expect from Tim Burton

I thought it was really unique!

This movie was not worth seeing. Story line was ok at best and the acting was less than marginal. Samuel l Jacksons acting leaves me wondering why I spent my time.

A waste of money...omg my $15 😩😩😩

It was cool. It wasn't as epic as they tried to make it seem but it was still a good movie.

Watch at you own risk

I love Tim Burton.

Not magical

Curses gods name was good movie till I heard that children don't need exposure to that kind of language

the story line dragged on got boring

Horrible adaptation from the book

it was a good movie. they had great ideas but the story lacks background.

It's was a great movie. I really enjoyed it.

SO BAD

great movie

little long

I loved it

Amazingly awesome

Great family movie!

Pretty good but the ending was far from the book ending...

If you've read the books, the movie will disappoint. If this is new to you, it will entertain.

Boring

This movie is both confusing and entertaining. I enjoyed it. Eva green did well, that lanky kid did a good job. 4/5

Felt like the ending was rushed.

the books were better. too many changes. especially with the character changes. Emma had the power of fire. not olive.

4 star movie, not 2 star... my mistake. good movie, hope for sequels.

I just went and seen it today . I think it was a really good movie .

Great movie

This movie was amazing it gives a childs perspective of what they thought living in a jewish protection house. However, being someone who could recap world war 2 as if he lived through it there was such a deeper meaning i love this movie absolutely amazing.

probably the most off putting and unmagical movie we have seen in a long time

Movie broke on us I want a refund

Wasn't like the book 😩

had the audience captivated throughout the first half then it started to get boring and was just waiting for it to end :/

borring n slow

no sound half way thru want to watch again, as we left when they were having sound prob

I am not used to Tim Burton's movies, so it felt weird yet interesting.

Great movie, the family really enjoyed it and the free tickets were a blessing.

It was very interesting

Not as good as I expected

not enough action.

asa is so handsome!!!!!! Worth watching

garbage I walked out

Some unbelievable parts, and I wish we could have seen more character development, but overall, I liked it.

Loved every minute. Would recommend seeing it

A fresh and engaging storybook adventure that should appeal to viewers both inside and out of the core demographic.

The sense of film craft here is so delicate and assured that, even at its most razzle dazzle-prone moments, the movie never seems to be straining for effect.

Los Angeles Times

For a movie that’s meant to have some magic in it, Peculiar Children displays little buoyancy, the proceedings weighed down by tedious world-building and perfunctory thematic lip-service about the need for community and the power that comes from finding one’s voice.
