Peter Pan

Pros: Solid cast; engaging effects; Jason Isaacs as Mr. Darling/Captain Hook
Cons: Preadolescent romance a bit intense

I've never quite understood the attraction to the idea of never growing up. That may sound strange, coming from someone who had a happy childhood and who even now regularly loves doing many childlike things (including reading so-called children's ...

Pros: Generally the acting and the darker side makes the story almost new
Cons: Wendy Wendy Wendy

Peter Pan has long since become a legend. Neverland and “I do believe in fairies” are part of childhood even now—though less so perhaps then when I was a child. The story is well known. The Darling children, particularly Wendy who is nearing ...

Pros: Acting, storyline, basically everything.
Cons: I can't think of any.

Peter Pan-Jeremy Sumpter Wendy-Rachel Hurd-wood Hook/Mr. Darling-Jason Isaacs Tinker Bell-Ludivine Sagnier -Spoiler- The movie begins with Wendy, Michael, and John playing. Wendy telling a story and them all pretending they are pirates. Their ...

Pros: A Fantastic cast and an absolutely amazing soundtrack.
Cons: A few CGI glips, but I can forgive that.

This Delightful tale of Peter Pan released in 2003 leaves the audience wishing for fairy dust and proclaiming "I do believe in fairies, I do, I do!" This movie has breathtaking scenes and an incredible soundtrack. Although definitely different from ...

Pros: A new view of the classic story.
Cons: It tries to please to many crowds, but doesn't totally please any.

I was excited for this movie to come out because we have several versions of Peter Pan in our house. This means that we watch them repeatedly until we have every part memorized. We also only watch movies that are appropriate for our children. Our ...

Pros: Beautifully shot, generally good cast
Cons: Story seems to lack heart, Peter Pan is thuggish

Watching a press screening of Universal’s holiday movie, ‘Peter Pan’, I was all too vividly aware of the power of peer pressure. A couple seats away from me, a couple of people were giggling at the movie, clearly amused – but not in a good way. On the ...

Pros: Excellent cast, fantastic adaptation
Cons: Disappointing bonus features

Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie’s classic tale of pirates, fairies, mermaids, and a boy who refuses to grow up, gets new life in a wonderful live-action adaptation that remains true to the original while providing action-packed thrills for the whole family. ...

Pros: A decent script, nice design and Jason Isaacs.
Cons: How can something as small as a fairy become so irritating?

The story of a boy who never grew up gets a slightly more mature retelling than we’ve seen before in writer/director P.J. Hogan’s new adaptation. For all of us who are reminded of Disney’s ‘pixiefied’ Pan, or haunted by Robin ...

Pros: A load of fun. Memorable mermaids.
Cons: It can't quite make up its mind whether to be for kids or adults.

I've never read the book by J.M. Barrie, but have heard that this version remains quite faithful to it. I've never watched the Disney version either, but knowing Disney, it would have been a much lighter version. After all, they gave the Little Mermaid ...

Pros: An engaging tale with delightful lead performances
Cons: Not quite as memorable as the Disney film version

There comes a time where every child must move from the pleasures of childhood to the responsibilities of adulthood. It is never easy to make that transition when that time comes. In "Peter Pan," Wendy Darling (Rachel Hurd-Wood) is soon approaching that ...

Pros: Nice scenery
Cons: blech

I know most folks came away loving this 2003 version of Peter Pan. I hated it. Don't get me wrong. I love the tale in general. Who wouldn't want to be a kid forever? But here.. well.. let me start from the beginning.. Peter Pan is the story of ...

Pros: peter, wendy, hook
Cons: the parrot looked a bit robotic

The novel Peter Pan, by J.M. Barrie, has been a popular subject for authors, film makers and playwrights since its debut roughly a hundred years ago. Peter Pan has been made into black and white movies, animated movies, and so much more. However it was ...

Pros: *sigh* i don't want to talk about it.
Cons: read on... you'll find out

Throughout the entire film, I was sobbing inside. One blaring question filled my thoughts... why, oh WHY didn't they use the ORIGINAL BOOK for reference? Okay, it's not like I went in there expecting a masterpiece. I expected pretty much what I got: a ...

Pros: Good actors, funny, and brings back our childhood.
Cons: Not really for small children. (Concept of love)

The second I had seen the previews of this movie, I knew I had to see it, even besides the fact that it's my favorite children's story. It looked more believable because of the fact that there were real people in it and not cartoons. I say this movie is ...

Pros: Looks fantastic, actors are great, story seems genuine
Cons: Slow parts, some scary moments, no punches pulled

"Agh! I have got to get some cleaning done," my wife says. "Would you," she asks sweetly, "Be willing to take her out for a while today?" Her being my daughter, who is four and a half, and today being Sunday, and a blustery, cold and rainy one ...
