Thanks for all your support!
I am still furious about Emma. Fire was her THING. She's a hot tempered girl and it just kills her personality how they didn't use it. I mean sure, some things cannot be put in the film adaption, but really? Emma is the girl on fire -.-
I thought Leo Valdez was the girl on fire
😂😂😂
I thought Katniss everdeen was the girl on fire
In the movie version, Olivia has a peculiarity of making fire using her hands.
I was annoyed by the fact that Abe Portman had an American accent, he said Jacob's name correctly whereas in the books he calls him 'Yacob'.
Yes! I was so looking forward to Yacob!
I'm annoyed they got a Brit to play Jacob. His accent is distractingly off in the trailers.
I'm a Brit and most of Asa's lines were awkward for me-especially in during the beginning when I wasn't used to it but I was especially unnerved with Jacob's dad's American accent-because Chris O'Dowd is Irish and it just really threw me! :')
So true !! xD
I feel like we got more romance between Olive and Enoch then Emma and Jacob
I agree! When Abe came back, it was so awkward, 'cause he gave Jacob tips to get to HIS ex girlfriend, and well... 😂😂
Jesse: I'm gonna call him Jacob throughout this review.
Jesse: Anyway, Jake-
Not hating, but I just had to post this. Loved your review!
Kerry Fraser I was gonna do that but I guess I'm a year late
Why did they swap Emma and Olive's peculiar powers around? Like I get that it doesn't change the plot at all, it's not the worst thing that could happen in a book-to-movie adaptation, but it just seems kinda pointless to me. Like, what was wrong with Emma having fire powers and Olive being lighter than air? What was the point in changing it?
Apparently it was for the aesthetic of the film, I just watched the film and the powers didn't really matter
Ella Ingram I personally think the change of powers really did matter in the film, if their original powers were retained, Olive and Emma's roles would have had different influence, there were details that made sense in the book but would have to be conveyed differently in the movie like the underwater scenes, and also a lot of added ones like the kids utilizing the ship to go after those wights, really the changes made a lot a sense to me :D
yea that bothered me too...I mean the power swap wasn't that big and I enjoyed it but I just want to know why. My only conclusion was so they could do that boat scene.
My only theory about this is since Emma is the love interest they decided fire was too "scary" and needed something sexier/more gentle and that's why they changed the peculiarities around.
I think they did it because aesthetically, book Olive's power looks better on screen and they wanted to use that power as a means to incorporate the raising of the ship scene etc. And Emma's the bigger character so it made sense for her to have it
I feel like Eva Green was just the perfect Alma Peregrine. I also pictured her older, and shorter, and maybe less beautiful lol.
But Eva was fantastic. Loved her.
(also: why did they ruin Enoch's character? he was annoying in the movie, and he is my favorite in the first book)
Murilo Holtz Enoch was hot in my head. And I loved him. In the movie it's just NOoOOO
"He will forever be 'Jacob' to me."
0.5 seconds later:
"Anyways, when Jake finds his. . . "
I was so angry that they brought the grandfather back to life. :( I don't understand why it was needed.
michelle west happy ending
My friends who haven't read the book loved the movie and came out so happy and hyped out the theater.... Me on the other hand, could not even pretend. I literally reached a point were I was like "can a hollow like, come out of the screen and take MY eyes out so I can stop watching this?" LIKE SERIOUSLY WHAT WAS UP WITH THE LAST 50 MINUTES OF THE MOVIE?!. I had so much faith in Tim and the fact that the first hour was pretty close to the book (acting aside), I just really don't know what happened!. I'm dissapointed (once more) with another book to movie adaptation. I tend to not care that much about the changes in adaptations like, I get them and I'm able to put things aside and be like "the book is the book and the movie is the movie" but is it too much to ask to get a decent adaptation? :(
Oh man don't even get me started on the Percy Jackson movies. Listen, I'm a t.v. and movies major and I struggled so much through the class that taught us how to "adapt" a book. They basically told us that, unless it was a very popular book, you could do whatever the hell you wanted with it and write a script that has the "heart" of the book and justify it by saying it was "losely based on"...But as a book lover this just felt like complete bs to me :/
finally someone said it..the book is fantastic and the movie was just made boring, the "adaptation" just didn't make sense, because the whole relationship between jacob and emma was based on her powers and they've changed that! -_-
(SPOILERS DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN/WATCHED THE FILM) I was satisfied with it and feel that the creepiness of it came across well. I just couldn't get past Olive and Emma being swapped. Also I liked the ending but the whole point is that Miss Peregrine is trapped in bird form because she's injured so how could they do Hollow City?
I don't think they are going to do a sequel--the movie seemed pretty self contained to me. There wouldn't have been as much point in changing the entire second half if they were going to do another movie.
That is true. They've wrapped it up in such a way that if it doesn't make the money etc to warrant a sequel, it isn't left open.
They aren't going to make Hollow City. What I got from the movie (or what I can remember from it) is that they smushed all three books into one, and I hate it when they do that bc so much plot was missed! One of my favourite parts of the first two books is when they meet those gypsies and befriend them and I was waiting for it in the movie and it never happened!
"He will forever be Jacob to me. So anyway, when Jake..."
What bugged me most was actually the scene when Olive is dying and Enoch is saying things to her. His acting just felt off to me, his words sounded empty, I couldn't feel their chemistry in that scene. Otherwise I like the movie!
Library of Souls will be called library of eyeballs. And honestly the darn eyeball thing and the thing with the hollows in the second half just ruined the movie for me. Up until that point I was liking it as a book to movie adaptation. But the eyeballs! Ugh the eyeballs!!
Yeah I hated that too. They did it for the gross factor. I guess it somewhat makes since because they say the eye is the window to the soul. My thought while watching the movie was "What!? Eating souls isn't creepy enough for you Tim Burton!"
Destiny Ann oh nooooo what did they do with eyeballs?
i know right??!! and the eyeballs were so fake, like all of them were blue
the eyeball thing bothered me a a lot but what bothered me more is how emma's personality was changed completely! did anyone else notice that?
Kathryn Briones yeah she didn't have her 'fire-y' personality
Honestly, the way the movie ended, I don't even think there will be a sequel movie! :(
I didn't mind Emma and Olive switching roles at all! Olive isn't how I imagined her at all but I loved her character and her and Enoch's little relationship thing it was so cute! Also the island was exactly how I pictures it and like you, I am so glad they kept in Worm and McDirty and the whole rapping scene. There were just so many great and funny moments in the film. I'm not sure how they are going to do Hollow City and Library of Souls after that ending but it will be interesting to watch none the less.
I fell like I am one in a few people who really didnt enjoy the movie adaptation. While I didn't mind something I just felt it while it was beautifully shot. The story and acting was lacking major. The power switch made no sense to me like it didn't add or take away so why do it?? The ending was stupid especially if they plan on making a sequel..which I doubt they will..how can they, they strayed so far from the books at the ending that Hollow City wouldn't make sense at all. I think if I didn't read the book I would have enjoyed the movie a bit more, but as a huge fan of the series it was a let down.
Totally agree with everything you said. The acting was off straight from the start.
I was actually angry when watching the movie, especially because the set the trailer up to look so much like the books. The power switch I feel Tim Burton did only so he could do the boat scene, which was visually beautiful but added nothing to the story. Also skeletons?! WHY?!
Yes! The trailers had me very excited but like idk I was very let down. Like I normally find things I like, but this movie just left a bad taste in my mouth :( It felt very rushed. I think it because all the other books I read that got turned into movies, while they added stuff for movie purposes etc it stayed true to the book and was well thought out. This not so much
Audrey Quinnzell HOLLOW CITY IS RUINEDDD!!! ;(
Yes! Finally I found someone who has exactly the same opinion about the movie as I do!!
god i hated this movie. ive been seething for hours now. i fucking hated it.
Am I the only one who think that Asa's acting was awkward? Especially the scene where Abe died, and he was just
like "okay, my grandpa died." I don't want to being rude or something but I've a lot of good expectation for him to figure Jacob. His acting in Ender's Game was awesome.
The scene where Jake and Emma fight a hollowgast in their house and Emma just took her shoes off in order to save them both with flying and then when they back to the underwater ship, her shoes back😂
The ending is so different from the book but I still love it, in my opinion Tim Burton make it to be more exciting, a lot of humor, and climax ending.
+Teresa Grace Yes, the acting at the beginning was really awkward, but I felt it got better as the story moved along.
Teresa Grace Asa is a great actor, but I agree that it was kinda awkward and eh
Teresa Grace I agree! I felt like Emma and Jacob's conversations were shallow and it was hard to feel the connection between the characters. I really enjoyed it as a movie and I do believe that Tim Burton did do justice to the creepiness of the book.
Teresa Grace I thought it was really weird.
It could of been because he was putting on an accent, he is British. But I dunno
maybe she's not miss peregrine and is his brother looking like her just like Barron did
+Eliz Benitez maybe! I guess we'll see if they ever end up making hollow city.
Eliz Benitez yass
I just watched this film today and I loved the first part but the second half seemed off.... the wights acting was awful and I didn't quite understand why there where skeletons battling candyfloss covered hollows.... but the Horace was great and I loved the actor! He was so posh and epic but I think the kids should have had a bigger part. They should have called the move " miss peregrines sassy home for Emma and Jake...ob. And enoch. Oh and sometimes olive."
For the ending part, I UNDERSTAND YOU SO MUCH! i don't think Hollow City is going to be an adaptation because of what happened at the end but hopefully Tim can work out a way.
I felt like Emma didn't have a personality in the movie.
Oh my gosh my friend and I went to watch it together yesterday and she has only read up to Hollow City and I've read the entire series. So we were both just very confused and frustrated from the ending of the movie cause how on Earth are they going to make a second movie when the first one ended like that. But everything you said in this video could not have been said better. I had the exact same feelings as you and it was a great movie. :)
Alyssa Medeiros I was think they maybe made the ending like that so just in case the movie doesn't go well and they can't make another one people who only watched the movie will not question like what happened because they kinda tied all loose ends as my sister said
i have no idea how they could possibility make Hollow City
I think the director won't plan to do the sequel because all they've done just like they want to end everything in one movie.
that's because in the movie world you don't know for sure if you are going to get a sequel.
Jelke Lenaerts I don't think that's completely true--when movies like "The Hunger Games" and "Twilight" were made, the sequels were guaranteed. Even with the recent absolute bust that the "Divergent" series turned out to be, they completed the movie series with the final one as a straight-to-video release. While you're right that actors in what studios hope will be franchises are automatically signed for multi-picture deals, some are a foregone conclusion. The way "Miss Peregrine's" was made it had little to do with the books to the point that any sequels will have to be nearly original pieces themselves (vs being adapted from the books) since the movie was so drastically different from the storyline we were given.
THE TWINS! DIDN'T EXPECT SOMETHING!
When he tells you to watch it then come back for the spoilery section, but you can't because it doesn't come out where you live before 4th of October😞
"Imma call him Jacob" *next frame* "So Jake does the thing and blah blah blah". 10/10 for effort Jesse ahaha
Personally, I thought the movie overall as a whole was a GREAT movie. Was it a perfect adaption? Nah. Was there scenes I missed? Yes. I missed a lot of scenes and I was confused. The eyeball scenes were DISGUSTING, I was so confused but it was a good kind of confused. The only thing I actually hated was how much of a jerk Jacob's dad was. I don't think the scene where the kids showed him their powers would've been able to happen because of how horrible he was. I don't remember him being like that in the books at all. It's like no wonder Jacob wanted to stay... The ending was good despite the weirdness and I was happy Abe was alive but it was a little confusing. But it was also pretty funny. "I joined the Navy - DON'T ASK."
Overall it was a good movie. I really enjoyed it and it's made me decide I'm gonna reread the book. And I loved Sam L. Jackson as Baron, he was so funny and yet pretty frightening too. I thought for a second "Is he going to turn into Nick Fury?" Nope. Full on psychopath and it was awesome.
I OPENED UA-cam TO LOOK FOR THIS IM JUST IN TIME ???
Say he's going to call him Jacob... 1 second later calls him jake
I feel like the only one who always imagined miss Peregrine as young, well young-er.
Oh my God, Jesse! I swear to God you expressed everything I had in my mind about the movie in this video! I'm glad we had the exact same thoughts for the movie and I'm happy that you enjoyed watching it.
I love that being in Australia I was able to watch the movie a day earlier 😆
Agreed, it's nice to get things early for once in our country 😉
Latisha D here in Portugal it came out earlier too ahah
YES I’M SO HAPPY I FOUND SOMEONE WHO LOVES THE FREAKING BOOK AS MUCH AS I DO
I loved Enoch and Olive's relationship in the movie😍
IIEleanor RigbyII yassss.
I love miss peregrines book definitely my favorite series! I watched it today and when I saw the 20th century logo I got shivers, the boat with Jake and his dad 😂 the house was just how I imagined it,when Jake thought he was doing the magic! Ava Green was amazing!! Emma's and James interaction where so good, Enoch dolls were so good,the loop reset was just how I imagined it.Victor was so upsetting. Underwater scene just how I imagined it.Barren Vs Mrs peregrine was so good,the call so sad! I thought someone was going to slip on the roof. After the boat it got so different with the skeleton and with Abe,I didn't like him coming back,The hollows was so good, I don't understand how they are going to make Hollow city and library of souls because of what happens in the first book,but love it everywhere
Time travel is a pain in the butt. I think, among all the problems I had with the movie, the biggest one was that by keeping his grandfather alive, Jacob negated the reason that he had to go to Wales in the first place. He cancelled out the event that started him on this whole journey.
I have so many comments on the book to movie adaptation! I enjoyed it, but like you said I was confused at how they are going to continue... Hopefully we will see, because I definitely think it deserves a second movie!
I feel like I completely agree with you!! I was like, oh yeah they've made changes but that's okay because it's a really good movie, and then the end happened haha. I'm still upset about the age change of Fiona and Hugh because I really wanted to see them get together, but I suppose I can just think that one day it will happen. I haven't read the second and third books so I was so frightened that Abe coming back to life was a spoiler.
I LOVE Enoch and Olive's relationship
I loved the film even though it was sooooo much different compared to the books
I wanted the shack scene from the book soooooo bad. I'm talking about when two characters are hiding from a Hollow in a shack filled with sheep and the sheep are ripped to shreds. The screams and smell in the book was so terrifying that I wanted to experience that fear again in this movie adaptation
The whole time I kept thinking that Olive was Fiona and vice versa. They really should've switched those parts and actresses.
Jesse is such a kind soul
Wow you just voiced all of my thoughts about the movie! This is exactly how I felt.
I’m reading this right now. I loved the movie and have wanted to read it forever and you’re the reason why I’m reading it. Your love inspired me
I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I haven't seen it yet but knowing you enjoyed t makes me very happy!
I'm so glad you liked the movie!! My feelings (and I feel like everyone else's) were pretty much the same as yours- loved the first 3/4 of the film, and the entire ending was "mehh..." but overall, it was really enjoyable! Just uploaded my review as well. :)
Jesse I totally agree with everything you said!! The beginning of the movie was amazing, and I was so happy with how it stuck so closely to the book and was aesthetically creepy af! I was totally not expecting the scene with victor to be how it was. The last section however also felt really off to me, like it lost it's momentum and didn't fit in with the tone of the rest of the movie. Also I didn't really like how they said what year it was in the present, 2016, cause that just makes the movie hard to stay timeless. For example I feel like if I watch this movie again in 5 years, and then hear "January 2016", the movie is going to feel so old. But I still really enjoyed the movie! It was so visually pleasing and had me always on the edge of my seat!!! Also Miss P's sassy personality was everything 👌
I've been interested to see what you thought of the movie since you love the book so much! It's always so exciting when well-loved books get adaptations, but so scary at the same time.
I totally agree with you! Its gonna be hard to make the next two movies with the way it ended cause they just completely resolved the main conflicts in both books.
Anyone else really confused by the ending? Would someone be able to explain to me how Jacob got back to the boat in time because I didn't really get it, and Emma cut him off! It also kinda bothered me how in the movie he completely forgot about his family after running off, in the book he at least wrote them a note
Thank you for helping me with my thoughts. You pretty much voiced my feelings with Hollow City movie.
I totally agree! Me and my two besties all read the books together and we went to see it as soon as it came out and as upset as I was when I first saw the commercials and how they had seemingly screwed everything up, I ADORED the movie. Every change that was made fit perfectly. Do I like the books better? Duh. But I don't think there is a single thing that I disliked about the movie which is amazing because I have never, NEVER actually loved a movie that was made for a book that I love. Every switch, every deviation was made so smoothly and so perfectly and they just like, meshed and it was amazing. It was just amazing. 😍😄
You put my thoughts of the movie into words so much better than I could've done.
I'm going to watch this video when I get home, because I'm going to see the movie in, like, 30-or-so minutes. I seriously can't wait!
Omg! You didn't even talk about the Hollow changes. I did not at all imagine them to be so big. I imagined them in the book as slender man and was satisfied with that. However, how big they are, is really awesome!
THE PART WHEN YOU ACTED AS JACOB AND MILLARD OH MY GOD I HAD TO PAUSE THE VIDEO AND WALK AWAY BECAUSE I COULDN'T STOP LAUGHING I CANT OMG
I'm currently reading Hollow City, and I literally finished Miss P just in time for the movie but for me, I had to wait a week or so for one of my friends because she was really ill. But we watched it a week later and I still thought it was good!!
My fav part of the movie was the end when Jakob went through all the loops to get back to Emma and the children. It was just such a cute scene
I just finished reading the first book because you talked about it so much, and I really enjoyed it! Im gonna find the movie to watch it but wanted to see what you thought of it first.
Oh my goodness, everything you said about the film was spot on to how I felt while watching it! There was definitely something that felt a little bit off with Barron's scenes, almost as if they always felt more comedic than frightening so I could never really take him seriously.
just watched it not as bad as I thought. the Emma and olive peculiarity swap does annoy me because I love how Emma saves him with fire powers. everything was great. Enoch was stand out for me and Jacobs dad. I wished they got in to the Emma and Abe thing more and the ending had some cliffhanger aspect to it. apart from that it was great
I'm really excited to watch this!!
i kind of hated its beginning though. I believe they rushed it. like here is a lonely guy called jacob and 40 sec later booom his grandpa is dead and left him a message . Isn't it sooooo typical? like i found it really creepy. talkin bout creeepy - emma's eyes they were huge and i didnt like they swapped her powers . kind of ruined her murderous look in her eye character.
‘He will forever be Jacob to me. Anyway when Jake...’😂
what was Jake's peculiarity? Was it just being able to see the hollows? They never mentioned what it was in the movie
Okay so I have finally seen the film and I truly don't know how I feel about it. On the one hand I enjoyed it, but on the other hand so much was different and added in that I just don't know how I'm supposed to feel.
I do love the book !! But the movie was good it had like it's own story
I too liked the movie, but I feel there were some big plot holes at the end... I mean if Jake stayed in January 2016 (thanks to the London loop) wasn´t he out of time?? I mean wouldn´t there be two Jakes? Did the Jake of the past disappear? Was a whole new time line constructed? What about returning to Florida? Did he just call home and said he was in freaking London? Did I miss something that explained this?
I keep comparing from the book in my mind whilst watching it;( I just cannot stop but it's still a good adaptation
Can we also talk about how he killed all the hollows before they could even be created?? So none of them were around in the future for Abe or Jacob to ever see... so how would they know they were peculiar? They can't just mess with time travel like this and expect everything to work out perfectly
Love your review!!!!
Shelly was in the books - she was Jacob's boss (the one who told him that he stacked the wrong brand of diapers). Although she had a more major role in the film; basically replacing Ricky.
My book came today!!! so happy ... already on page 27 and its......im started getting Into it
Watched the movie yesterday. Gonna get the books soon. So excited!!
I pretty much agree with you everything here. I really liked not the very begging, but the parts with the house. But when it came to the Hollows I was expecting something a little different I guess. The only things that bugged me were a lot of the stuff that happened after the loop was destroyed, I dunno if it's just because I've read and loved all of the books, but I just found it a bit weird. Oh well, all and all it was pretty alright, by the way I loved hearing someone else's thoughts on it! :)
So I got addicted to the MPHFPC series about a year ago and got many people in my class addicted as well, so we all convinced our teacher to allow us to read it as a WHOLE class and take us to watch the movie the day it came out! So basically: half of my class read the full series, some only read the first book. AND I found that reading the whole series and only reading the first book really changes the perspective. By the half point of the movie (when they start going off-the-page) my class was basically almost too confused to pay attention while the other was completely devouring all of it. I, personally, came to the movie totally open-minded as well and was in full on tears at the end. I always never really thought that the "switch" was gonna be a bad thing, and kinda figured that making everyone a little younger gave a more creepy feel (like a little girl holding a bolder? creepy as heck), but what I REALLY hated was that they took out Emma and Abe's relationship. That was such a big part on WHY it took Jacob so long to FINALLYYY kiss her in the end. The acting at times also just made me super uncomfortable when where it seemed almost robotic and UGH i also just really wanted a Ransom cameo too:(( BUTTT i still love the movie and it took me a long while just to figure out what I didn't really like about the movie because by the end, my mind was just crowded with all the good thingsXD (ALSO: I didn't hate the Enoch and Olive relationship because i felt like that it was kinda just a fill-in for Hugh and Fiona's relationship that they took out)
I don't remember that scene well (since I read the book some time ago )but in the book there was i think a scene when they all from the distance watch their home get destroyed by bomb & they just realise that everything they had is gone. Also I would love to see that all running around they had from book.
I loved to see Enoch as an older child because he is a darker character.
I didn't particularly enjoy Olive's character. We had such a strong females in the book. Movie Olive looked naïve & she relied on ppl too much
I read the book and was looking forward to the movie so much! Then I saw it; the whole time I remember thinking WTF? over and over again. Like why Emma's powers? Just so they could have a cool scene underwater in the ship? When it comes to monster food, why change the Souls to the Eyes? I'm guessing to have a more visual representation of the monsters eating something important from the Peculiars, but I feel like they could've done a better job. Actually, I feel like that's the motto for this entire movie adaptation, "They could've done better"
So basically most of the movie my brother and my friend were laughing but we probably shouldn't have been laughing that much. Then my friend who hasn't read the books was freaking out!
Yes! I completely agree with everything you said. Eva Green was really awesome, and the changes really didn't bother me very much...until after the boat scene and everything with the skeletons...it was just strange? But overall I really enjoyed it and would love to see a sequel!
I really enjoyed the movie despite some of the additions that changed the story, I actually got to see it on the 29th as part of a charitable event. I doubt I would have seen the film or read the books if I hadn't found your channel, so thank you for introducing me to this crazy world and I can't wait to review it for my channel and blog 😊
I guess going into Hollow City could be like going from Scorched Trials to the Death Cure from the Maze Runner series. It was so different than the book, but it was still good. So let's be optimistic and see how it goes.
I totally agree with the ending. The ending went totally downhill from the book and it was really hard for me to take in. I'm like, WHAT THE HECK?!? THIS WASN'T IN THE BOOK.
I just finished the book and then watched the trailer and bitch when I saw that Emma and Olives powers switched I got so triggerd😂
I really need to finish Hollow city, also Jesse it's either super early or super late, I hope you got or will get some rest soon.
Your observations are on point! But I think a lot of the changes are bc Burton didn't want to get attached to a series, so they made it a standalone...at least that's what it felt like to me :/
Oh my god I was devastated by Olive and Emma switching powers, but then again I feel it still worked for the film because the movie was so different from the book in so many ways yet it was a good interpritation
Says he's gonna call him Jacob then says Jake lol
Totally agree with you in everything!!! It started very good but then it become like kinda of a joke (?) and I like it but obviously I excepted more
Hi Jesse! This has nothing to do with this video but I just wanted to ask one thing. Have you read Shiver, Linger and Forever by Maggie Stiefvater? I haven't seen any book talks or videos about them! I ask because this was my favorite triologi for a long time, and I heard that you've read the Raven boys.
enoch's my favorite character in the book and the movie❤❤❤
i completely agree with what happened after they got on the boat... i havent read the last book so i was so confused whether it was the three books in one? or whether they just really liberally adapted the first 1.5 books? like waaaaa?
1:10 YES I laughed so hard at that! 😂
It was only the beginning but I was already SO into it. The creepy pictures, the creepy music, I was loving it. And BAM! It switches to Florida scenery! I don't know why I found it so funny, but I did. For some reason.
SPOILERS FOR THE MOVIE BELOW:
Okay so there was really only one thing I really really really disliked and it was one part of the hollow fight scene at the carnival thing. I didn't actually dislike the actual fighting bit, like I actually quite liked how the peculiar kids plan played out, and how the kids threw things at the hollows so they could see them HOWEVER, the music in the background really REALLY bothered me. It was like a mix of pop and house music and am I the ONLY one who recognized the beat drop, where the music built up and then the wight says something along the lines of "What are you doing, attack them!" and then the beat drops like NONO I really disliked that. I feel like the music is really important, especially in a spooky/paranormal movie like this one and it just did not work to have this music in the background of this fight scene. I also liked the Tim Burton cameo, but the music was a big bother for me in this scene.
same🙈 i expected real fight like the book
omg I didn't even notice the tim burton cameo
Yeeees! The same thing was what bothered me the most because the scence is soooo cool but the music choice was so stupid I was like wtf? why are u doing this to me Tim? That scene with good music would have been epic.
+Naomi G yes!!
You are so right, the music was awful and didn't fit the story at all!
The only Thing i really don't understand is why they changed the day of the Loop from September 3rd 1940 to September 3rd 1943. I mean what's the Point?
My favorite series ever
I loved the movie....But it was like a 10-20% of the book. I still give it a 8,5 out of 10
as soon as i heard mphfpc is your favourite book series i immediately subscribed
I took my mom to see it yesterday and she was so confused throughout the whole movie because she didn't read the book and she said it was a tough movie to follow, but me I loved the movie, and I thought the ending of the movie was better than in the books, the book just had a rushed ending and not enough closure towards the world when Jake was talking to his dad.
