Critics Consensus: Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children proves a suitable match for Tim Burton's distinctive style, even if it's on stronger footing as a visual experience than a narrative one.

A couple of fun positive ones from today:

"Miss Peregrine" proves to be a fantasy that generally favors throwback drama and mystery over contemporary fireworks, bringing to mind the melancholy anachronisms of "Benjamin Button" and the period-set creepiness of "Pan's Labyrinth."

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

Burton is a past master at illustrating tall tales and he has finally returned to form with this mesmerising and deliciously eccentric film.

That's what tracking is pointing to and pre-sales have been strong so far, so why not? I actually expect around 27m myself, but 30m is definitely a possibility, and what I hope for.

Well I really liked it

To be fair to him all the children being white make completely sense in the setting. 

 Sam Jackson's character wasn't black in the books either.

 

I don't know about his other movies though. I suppose he could have gotten some more black characters into them?

He was going to make Robin and Two-Face black in his third Batman movie.

Burton generally loves his characters to be super pale; it's obviously a conscious decision.

"His excuse ?"

 

What kind of new dictatorship age we are living in ?

Tracking actually suggests 20m just to clarify.

That's because Harvey Dent was already black in Batman 89. Billy Dee Williams represent!

Praise be to Lando!

 

I hope we get a Lando spin-off.

Or he's a supporting character in the Han Solo movie

[robertman2]

Also, did the acid turn Billy Dee Williams into Tommy Lee Jones somehow?

[Gumby]

Tim Burton makes movies about misfits/outcasts/nonconformists, topics that critics usually love, but that's not good enough in this PC culture?  Now there's some racial diversity quota he's not meeting?  Give me a break.
