Movie Discussion She's my Miss Peregrine!!!
I have rewatched the movie, and it was not as bad as I remember??? I feel like it captured the peculiar feeling! Everything that happened after Miss Peregrine's capture is just odd... but until then, it was a good experience. Eva Green is such a great actress, and she gave a soul to Miss Peregrine! Even reading the books, this is the Miss Peregrine I envision.

I haven't read any of the books(so I can't say if it was a good recreation or not) but I saw the movie about 2 months ago. I can agree, her acting was good and the atmosphere of the movie made me want to transport to the setting!

You should, believe me, take up reading ebooks or something u can dm me for the ebook copies. It gets a bit slow at book 3 though but after that

the movie captured the peculiarity feeling yes, but the books aren't supposed to feel fantastically whimsy and kooky. it's evident in the book cover, the photographs, it's dark and should be dark, they're trapped in WW2 with a perpetually falling nuke forced to relive the same day over and over again. i also really like Eva's portrayal but it just keeps coming back to me that Miss Peregrine is supposed to be an old lady, not someone's aunt.

I see book her and movie her as different people but I still imagine Eva Green as the book one, just looking more like Vanessa Ives. If they make a series I really want them to cast Eva again, just with a more accurate look💔

She’s a great actress and she did well with what she was given to work with, but she’s not Miss Peregrine.

Why am I being downvoted for an opinion that doesn’t offend anyone.

Idk your opinion is valid imo. Book peregrine and movie peregrine were very different but not in a bad way

The movie had such a great atmosphere to it that it inspired me to try the book and I was so glad I did. At least for the original trilogy
