Am I Missing Something?

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

So this movie had a lot of potential, the first act of this movie was good. The characters are unique with all of their peculiar abilities, the acting is good, the cgi they used to make the monsters is pretty good despite the fact that the monsters were obvious knockoffs of Slenderman. But the romance that builds between the two protagonists is not very believable the "climax" wasn't anything to get that excited for, the end sequence where what's his name was basically traveling through time to get back to his friends made very little sense

Not quite sure what to say about this sad attempt at a "time travelling" school for X Men kids. I really thought this was going to be an exceptional film. A strange beginning then it just sort of ran out of steam. I was looking forward to some stunning SFX, sadly disappointed. As for the story line I guess it was conceived on the back of a beer mat in some draughty pub in the moors after a substantial amount of "real ale". Will we be watching it again? No. Not retained for future viewing.

When I first saw the trailer for the movie, it looked very interesting and good. And when I also saw that the movie would be directed by Tim Burton who I am a big fan of his work, I was really excited to go see this movie. But what I saw in theaters was a really boring and not a version of the book series. The only part of the movie I really liked was Samuel L. Jackson's character because he can always be the best part of a boring movie.

This movie isn't really worth the energy to watch or talk about. The plot is boring. There is minimal conflict. Everything that is explained is later ignored. There is actually a paradox that is created in the movie in which the entire movie shouldn't have happened and I wish that that had translated into the real world.
