OK, serious question
One of the running themes that happens whenever a bad adaptation of source material is released is people will come out of the shadows and say "well, yes, it's bad, but it will get people into the source material, so I'm not mad". Had that ever actually worked? Because personally whenever I've seen a bad movie and found out it's a book, I'm actually less inclined to check out the source material. Has anyone watched a bad movie or show, found out it's an adaptation, and checked out what it's adapting? I'm sure a few have done so, particularly in the case of really famous works, but I'm not convinced it's something that happens regularly.
PEOPLE CLEARLY CAN'T READ; I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT WHEN YOU LIKE THE MOVIE/SHOW, IM TALKING SPECIFICALLY WHEN YOU DISLIKE IT. READING COMPREHENSION, PEOPLE.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016, Tim Burton)
04/04/2024
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children is a 2016 film directed by Tim Burton.
The fantastic film is the film adaptation of the 2011 novel Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children written by Ransom Riggs.
Teenager Jake Portman lives in Florida with his family.
On his birthday he receives an old book from his grandfather in which he finds a postcard addressed to Abe from Cairnholm in Wales and signed by Miss Alma Peregrine, the mysterious director of the home for special children, the protagonist of the stories of when he was little.
Once in Cairnholm, Jake discovers that the house of the specials exists, but is reduced to ruins due to a bomb dropped during the Second World War, and that there were no survivors. Exploring the old building he meets an extravagant group of kids: they are Miss Peregrine's special children, who lead him to a cave which is the entrance to their time loop and, once inside, Jake finds himself in 1943 with the children's house still intact.
The boy has return in 2016 and is accompanied to the cave by Emma, for whom he begins to feel affection; here the two come across a wounded Ymbryne in the form of an avocet and unable to transform, who will be subjected to Miss Peregrine's care; it's Miss Avocet.
Jake, however, is followed by John Lamont, an ornithologist present on the island for a few days, who turns out to be capable of crossing the time loop: first he becomes Doctor Golan and finally reveals his true self: it is Barron, whose peculiarity is in fact that hid his white eyes.
Miss Avocet says that Barron and the Hollows attacked several time loops including her own set in January 2016 near Blackpool, killing all the children with the aim of replicating the failed experiment years ago with many more Ymbrine.
Miss Peregrine lived in Miss Avocet's time loop when she was young and can transform into a peregrine falcon.
Miss Avocet is an elderly woman from the early Victorian era in England. She can transform into an avocet.
The film's budget was $110 million.
The film rights to Ransom Riggs' novel where sold to 20th Century Fox in May 2011.
On July 28, 2014, Eva Green was chosen to play the protagonist of the film; Mischa Barton, Lucy Hale and Alison Sudol were also considered. On September 24, 2014, it was announced that Asa Butterfield had been seen for the second lead role as Burton's choice, but that he had not yet been offered the role at that time. On November 5, 2014, Ella Purnell was offered a role and Butterfield was in final negotiations to join the film; it was also reported that Butterfield was offered the male lead role and was the preferred choice. On February 6, 2015, Saamuel L. Jackson was added to the cast to play Mr. Barron, while Butterfield was confirmed for the second lead role. Terence Stamp, Chris O'Dowd, Rupert Everett, KIM Dickens and Judi Dench were announced as cast on March 12, 2015.

Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (2016)
In recent years, the projects handed to Tim Burton may have felt right on paper but in execution didn’t suit his filmmaking style at all (looking at you, Dumbo and Alice in Wonderland). Despite these mistakes, we keep coming back. Why? Because when he’s the man for the job, there’s no one better - as Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children demonstrates. This quirky, slightly dark celebration of the weird suits him perfectly.
Jake Portman (Asa Butterfield) travels to a reclusive island on the behest of his recently deceased grandfather. There, he finds a group of “Peculiars”, boys and girls with extraordinary powers, under the guard of Miss Peregrine (Eva Green). Isolated from civilization thanks to a time loop created in 1943, they hide from a world that wouldn’t understand them but mostly, they hide from ghoulish Peculiars named Hollows - eyeball-eating fiends.
After Harry Potter, The Hunger Games and Twilight there was a deluge of Young Adult Novel fantasy/sci-fi adventures, most of which were non-starters. The genre began on a high note (you should see how bad the Twilight knockoffs got) and fell sharply afterwards. This film is one of the few exceptions. It begins with an original premise. There’s a lot of mythology to digest with time loops and different factions of people with superpowers - honestly, it gets a bit confusing towards the end - but on the surface, it’s nice and digestible. Children with strange abilities living under the protection of a teacher that must keep them hidden. A lonely teen who befriends them. Monsters determined to ruin everything. Got it? Now we can examine the characters residing at the school. They’re fun because their abilities are varied and unique. You won't find stand-ins of popular superheroes here. Everyone at the school has something to contribute when the action scenes call for them but you can also see why these children's bizarre skills force them to live in isolation.
The story leans into the weirdness of Miss Peregrine’s home and then splits off into scenes that are either charming and wonderful or frightening and unsettling. The mix endears you to Jake and his new friends. It also makes the danger feel real. People getting their eyeballs eaten makes your skin crawl but it’s such a bizarrely gruesome fate it doesn’t feel like it would be too much for young (but not too young) audiences to handle. Such grisly choices make the story unpredictable. So much of this is so strange it wouldn't matter who it was happening to, you'd just want to see what was next. What are those twins hiding behind their mask? What’s it like living in a time loop? What’s the deal with the eyes, and with Jake’s grandfather? How can you combine all of the children’s mismatched abilities into a fighting force to repel the villains after them? The answers are wildly inventive.
Much to my disappointment, it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting a sequel to Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. At least the picture makes the wise choice to end on a definitive note instead of teasing us something that’ll never come.
I suspect Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will be the kind of teen-oriented adventure some will absolutely fall in love with because of its quirks. It’s thrilling and a little bit loopy - and I mean that in a good way. (February 14, 2020)
