Peter Pan & Wendy

Much of what you expect from pretty much every unnecessary Disney live action remake these days is very much represented here, but what surprised me was how consistently grim of a viewing experience this was. The few times the film attempts to recreate some of the visual gags of the original feel half-baked by comparison, but much of it is also replaced entirely. Dour monologuing, bickering and expanded origin stories dominate the runtime, and I question why - given how this is still clearly oriented towards children - anyone thought this was going to be appealing.

Attempts at thematic depth are noble, but this is not an enjoyable watch for either adults or kids, so I don't know who this was intended for. Good thing there's Disney+ now to drop these in and avoid the shame of a major box office bomb.

Also, I don't care that Tinkerbell is black but those special effects on her were... yikes!

You gotta have an energetic, boisterous, charming, confident to the point of cocky and at least sometimes likeable Peter Pan for this tale to, um, fly. Which is a really tough thing to put on a child actor, or any actor. It's a role that not even Robin Williams always nailed. No amount of CGI wonderment or heart string pulling nostalgia can make up for simply not having the essential characteristics of Peter Pan in a Peter Pan movie. Not even the title sharing Wendy, with her well performed trepidation about impending maturity, nor Hook and the deeper than usual dive into his PTSD, can make up for a flat, boring, Peter Pan that gives you no reason to root for him.

This movie has nothing to do with Peter Pan. Nothing to do with Lost Boys, nothing to do with art. The child actors are child but it is still obvious that they havent been chosen by their talents, they are at the beginning of their career, i hope they will improve more.

Writing and story was horrible and dialogues were too dumb even for my 8 yrs old and 11 yrs old. Both stopped watching the movie even before the first half. I asked why they stopped, they said it is the same stereotypes that they see every day at their school. And they got fed up with these things to shove their throat. This is coming from their target audience of 8-11 yrs old,

i hope disney is not making money with movies anymore and they basically become a toy seller company. Soon all will be lost. Walt Disney created a great company that butchered to bits by the new generation.

Dont pay stream to watch it and simlpe stayt away from this bore-fest.

And that is all it is. The acting is so bad and the characters had zero character. Felt like us was watching a cheap theatre show down the local civic centre. But this is the future of everything now. When will they learn to listen to the majority of the public.

And repeat again to get the review in although I do t have much more to say really. And that is all it is. The acting is so bad and the characters had zero character. Felt like us was watching a cheap theatre show down the local civic centre. But this is the future of everything now. When will they learn to listen to the majority of the public.

Disney should have stuck more to the original material. They tried to make this children's movie emotionally deeper and ended up drowning out any fun this movie could have offered. The storyline was all over the place and hard to follow and comprehend. Wendy attempts to be a therapist to Captain Hook who seems to be dealing with mommy issues and Peter Pan often comes across bland and emotionless. Tinker bell and Tiger lily was worth watching and the only characters they improved. I wouldn't recommend watching this at all. Save your time and watch Hook with Robin Williams. It was as more creative and light hearted.
