A dazzling retelling of the J.M. Barrie tale.
With only a few exceptions, the performances (and the script) range between dull and mediocre.
In this incarnation, Peter is imbued with a greater degree of psychological darkness than before.
Familiarity doesn't exactly breed contempt, yet despite the novelty of a real boy as Peter, the movie does engender a listless been-there / eaten-that reaction.
A tribute to the power of good storytelling.
If, as you go into the theater, you hear people coming out still chanting 'I do believe in fairies. I do! I do!' do not be alarmed. Soon you will be joining them.
On the whole it's a pleasant thing, if hardly the definitive treatment of the source material.
It won't give Harry Potter a run for his money, but it beats the hell out of a Cannon & Ball panto in Skegness.
Live-action version keeps its thrill and charm.
Great performances, rollicking action and excitement, and a beautiful story kids will surely love...
These ingredients are digitally present and correct, but Hogan fails to inject much excitement into the many boisterous action sequences.
This Peter Pan shines light into the dark corners of one of the world's favorite fairytales.
Siendo notorio el gusto de Hogan por las letras clásicas de Peter Pan y Wendy, el director sabe educir el alma del libro para llevarla al celuloide.
Universal Home Entertainment has loaded this disc with extras centering on the making of the movie, and the special effects entailed to bring Neverland to life.
PJ Hogan's lazy, logy Peter Pan states that not growing up is a tragedy, but presents neither evidence nor arguments.
[I]t's an unfortunate time for a new version of Peter Pan to hit theaters, but those who can push all those King of Pop connections aside will be rewarded.
Even if you don't believe in fairies, this movie will make a believer of you....timeless story gets a grand treatment, though some parents may balk at Hogan's darker tones.
It's not colourful, it's not fun, it's just a gaudy mess of bad aesthetic choices and cruddy CGI.
First off, the movie looks fantastic. The sets are amazing and the effects are wonderful.
Don't get caught somewhere in the middle, wandering around Neverland without a fairy guide.
Gorgeously mounted and imagined, this new incarnation of Peter Pan has one gigantic flaw: Jeremy Sumpter, who plays Pan, cannot act at all.
As smart and definitive a version as we're likely to see for a while, which is fine, if only because it casts an actual child actor instead of a creepy female man-child.
Hogan's adapation is likely faithful to a fault: it goes through the motions of the story without seeming to have any reason for telling it.
This is the vision of Peter Pan that I would want in my head when I read the story.
