Peter Pan & Wendy

Just an absolute fantastic live action of Peter Pan finally made by Disney after all the others that have been made throughout the years. The casting is truly perfect, especially for Peter Pan and Wendy. The CGI and sets help make this film a great spectacle of a coming of age story that brings the audience to tears. The plot development other than the beginning being a bit rushed and some plot points being glossed over, was good. But it doesn't matter that some points were glossed over as the story is so well known that there is no need to make this film for an audience that knows nothing. The insight into Peter's and Hook's relationship was a great touch as well as Wendy being the motherly figure that all lost boys ran away from. Just all in all nothing short of perfection for Disney with pixie dust sprinkled on top in an incredible way.

This is not the original Peter Pan story. But.....for me.....and BTW I loved Hook.....this was a very good movie with a lot of meaning about growing up about friendship about family and about becoming. I don't mind the colour of the characters. In my opinion Wendy was a star and Jude Law was very good. By quincidence I happened to have glanced upon the original Peter Pan novel which is nothing like the movies. But that is a different darker story....which critique does not belong here. I loved it.

Well, I certainly found plenty of people to add to my block list from the comments on this movie 🙄

No, the movie is nothing special, but anybody who thinks they're making a real criticism by using the word "woke" needs to come back to reality.

Great new version. Don't listen to the haters.

I reviewed this film for the Hugo-winning blog Nerds of a Feather:

Neither good or bad, 'Peter Pan & Wendy' is rather average.

Peter Pan is admittedly a tale that, even as a kid, I never really clicked with. The two Disney animated flicks are films I'd consider as good, but even then I didn't really vibe with them all that much. I think it's because I find the story quite one-dimensional, there's never anything that I can sink my teeth into.

I do, though, like how this version mixes a few things up, particularly with Hook and Pan's backstory. As well as how Tinker Bell acts, I always found it a bit odd how she would be jealous of Wendy in the other pictures - her behaviour in this 2023 film does feel much more logical. So I do give credit to the filmmakers for these changes.

Those weren't enough for me to enjoy this, however. At least it's better than 1991's 'Hook'. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Peter Pan & Wendy" is a decent adaptation, but let's be real, it's nowhere near as good as the original. That said, it's still a lot better than some other Peter Pan adaptations, like "Pan." It's true that we've seen so many versions of the story that they start to blend together. While it doesn't capture the magic of the original, it's a reminder that some classics are best left untouched. ✨‍♂🌟

I completely agree with Sopherian van Ettinger's review, on all points, so won't repeat them here. Additionally, I think Alexander Moloney's acting was very poor (or maybe it was just the script and direction he had to work with) but he came across as wooden and lifeless, with no real emotion most of the time. He certainly didn't make Peter Pan in any way a likeable or identifiable character. Jeremy Sumpter did far better in the 2003 film - which was altogether a far superior production. Forget this weak woke travesty and watch the 2003 film instead if you want a far higher quality Peter Pan film to watch with your children.

there was some potential,but it was wasted. captain hook had no closure.. the story in general had no meaning and closure. Peter Pan and hook will fight Forever. it's really a children movie.
it wasn't bad ,I could watch it until the end and the VFX were very good. I hate to put the VFX the same level as pirates of the Caribbean,but that was a 2002 movie and this is 2023 movie. i should have been this way.

Tinkerbell was not so important in the movie and it looks like she's another character entirely.
