Peter Pan Details

[Highly rated reviewer]

I do, I do, I do believe in fairies

This version of the classic tale of Peter Pan is quite simply……perfection. The movie isn't just about Neverland or a boy in green who flies, it's about innocence and the first time you fall in love.

Jeremy Sumpter portrayed Peter Pan really well. He put a lot of emotion in the character and gave us the other side of Peter Pan. The side that feels and isn't just about having fun. Rachel Hurd-Wood is an amazing actress. She put a lot of feeling into Wendy's character. The whole innocence thing and showing her feelings towards Peter, was very well done. It's also nice to see that this time Wendy doesn't just sit on her behind and let the boys fight, she knows how to handle a sword or knock someone out.

The supporting cast were really good. The Lost Boys and John and Michael brought the fun to the film, Tinkerbell was great, Hook/Mr Darling was excellent in both roles and Mrs Darling brought a sweetness and tenderness to the film.

The legacy of Peter Pan is everlasting. The next generation will love this glorious story as much as I do. This movie isn't only for children; it's for everyone young, free, and adventurous at heart. Peter Pan 2003 with no doubt is one of the best novel adaptations of all times.

Because I can't say no to pirates

A great adaption of Peter Pan; in my opinion better than the Disney version. The digital effects are fantastic, and the pacing is good. Peter is a little American for my taste, and Wendy is revolting wholesome, but the other children are a pleasure to watch. And as for the pirates, Jason Isaacs and Richard Briers steal every scene from the titular hero. I found it an interesting casting choice to have Isaacs play both Captain Hook and Mr Darling - are we stepping boldly onto hitherto undiscovered Freudian territory?
