Peter Pan DVD

Advantages: Hillarious, Quality Comedy
Disadvantages: nada

...The director of my best friends wedding (Hogan) brings to us peter pan, a mega budget extravaganza. Jeremy Sumpter who plays peter pan has not been able to capture a brave spirit when compared to the ageless peter pan. Sumpter is a child in the movie and is great to see him sky rocketing around the imaginary never land thus separating him from robin Williams the actor of hook which is the older version of peter pan. Sumpter is in company of the luminous Wendy (Rachel Hurd-wood)) who float together to never land and experience beautiful Disney moments. The simple and sweet fairytale has been transformed by special effects. The only one in an unusually good form who deserves to get full score is Jason Isaac who plays captain hook. Although the movie is an invitation to a 5 star dinner for you and your family but been served only appetizers... Read review

Advantages: The fairies are beautifully done, characters well cast, quite dark in places for the adults, faithful to the original
Disadvantages: Could have been longer, quite dark in places, might upset children

...Peter Pan, J.M. Barrie's classic is brought to life in this film. From the capture of Pan's shadow through to the battle on Hook's ship the story is enthralling. Wendy is told that the time for games with the boys and stories of pirates is over, and that she must begin to learn to be a woman. Her Aunt Millicent (played by Lynne Redgrave) is going to take her tutoring over from Nana - a dog. That night, Peter enters her bedroom, and as he tries to escape, his shadow is torn from him. What follows is a wonderful comedy moment with the shadow and the Aunt and a concerted effort for Pan to re-attach his shadow to himself by any means possible. As the story goes, Pan takes Wendy, with her younger brothers Michael and John, to Neverland, where they have adventures. The fairies are absolutely beautifully done, great special effects...

Advantages: faithful to the original story, good special effects
Disadvantages: just not quite as expected

...All children grow up. Except one. 'Magic, adventure, flying, swashbuckling action and amazing special affects' 'Join the boy who wouldn't grow up and Wendy, the girl who is told she has to, in their adventures against Captain Hook and his pirate crew' reads the back of the cover So it didn't take much to convince me to want to see it especially as I'm, well how shall we put it, slightly obsessed by all things Peter Pan. I never got round to seeing it in the cinemas, even though i'd wanted to, but i eventually got it a couple of christmases ago on DVD. Sure enough i was transported into Never Land, with it's fluffy clouds, fairies and giant ticking crocodiles. As well as going adventuring with the lost boys, but it just seemed like something was missing and i'm still not entirely sure what. Peter Pan is J.M.Barrie's classic... Read review

...The entire film is a Peter Pan sequel or spin off and is incredibly good. It is about Peter Pan when he grows up in the normal world, and ages. Tinkerbell takes him back to Neverneverland to rescue the kids that Hook has kidnapped. The kids start to lose their memory when they are in the other world and Jack, the eldest, starts to believe that Hook is his real father. Peter Pan is retaught how to fly and fight and then he fights Hook to the death to get his kids back with the help of the lost boys. This is a great family film if you know and love the background of Peter Pan.... Read review

Advantages: the actors are great
Disadvantages: its a bit slow at the beginning

...everyone knows the story of peter pan and the lost boys and not forgetting tinkerbell. this film is about a man called peter who grows up an forgets about neverland and lives a normal life until captain hook kidnaps his children. which forces peter to remember and go to see captain hook and save his children. this film stars robin williams as peter pan and julia roberts as tinkerbell. its great fun for the family and is most enjoyable. my favorite part is when peter goes back to nevrland and is reunited with the lostboys, obviously they dont reckonise him and they have a new leader. peter has to prove to them, with the help of tinkerbell, that he is the real peter pan. while this is happening captain hook is treating peters children like his own and peters son nearly becomes hook because they are so alike. great family fun, recommend...
