Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

MJB784 The visuals looked incredibly fake and ugly looking. It was easy to tell what was computer animated because there was way too much fast forward movement that didn't blend very well. Neverland looked really dirty. The colors in Neverland were ugly shades of red, purple, blue and the locations in Neverland looked like sets. I don't know if Hook was better or not. If you want to watch Peter Pan, stick with the Disney cartoon. Also, the crocodile has more realism. Watching the characters fly across obvious green screen doesn't seem real.

Hermione Granger I was given this as a birthday gift and wasn't that eager about watching it at first, but when I did, I was blown away. The CGI and flying was incredible for a movie in 2003, and there is frequently humor, like how John got his hat or what happens to Michael's bear. I like it better than Disney's version and how it was so much closer to the original book. They brought it alive. Some of the similarities are how Tinker Bell almost dies, and people shout, "I believe in fairies!" in hope that she will live, or how a hut is built around Wendy.However, the reason I subtracted four stars is that there is an entire romance between Peter Pan and Wendy. That is a bad example for you children, especially with how Wendy kisses Peter. The only good side of it is that Peter is not growing up and does not understand love, which is interesting. The mermaids were creepy, and Hook was once shown without his hand, completely. It was not simply without his hook. It appears he has to sling something over his shoulder and around his arm to put the stub the hook is attached to there. Peter's outfit also shows a bit too much.The battles on the ship and in a castle were exciting and perfect. The movie would have been, too, if we didn't have the romance.

Josephine Andersson This was the first movie i ever saw at the cinema. I was 7 years old,well, quite close to 8. So obviously, it has a very special place in my heart. I bought the VHS tape afterwards and watched it many times.Don't think i ever really watched the cartoon version and if i did,i was probably not a big fan cause i don't remember it. But i saw the cartoon not too long ago now, but prefer this 2003 version so much more. I'll blame it a bit on nostalgia.No but seriously, i have watched this version many times now that i'm older and i think it means more to me now than it did then. Now, i finally understand the whole not wanting to grow up thing. I didn't take that part too seriously as a kid. I focused more on the rest of the film. Now, i'd give anything to be peter pan.Jeremy Sumpter is perfect as peter pan. Playful, adventurous, typical slightly annoying boy and cute. Cartoon-peter felt more like an adult to be honest. Rachel Hurd-Wood is a great Wendy. She feels innocent, but still like a young woman ready to grow up. Jason Isaacs great as Hook and boring dad. I honestly didn't' even notice he was the same person when i was a kid.And let's not forget one of the most important parts of the entire movie. The music. It's as magical as it can get and it is without a doubt one of my top 5 fave movie soundtracks. I think it might be 3rd place behind the Homeward bound-movies and Jurassic park. My favourite song is "Flying". After all my nostalgic rambling, i just want to say that it's a magical movie that means a lot to me. Way better than the cartoon if you ask me.

Ollie Pajak So another Peter Pan film, this will be interesting. I think is fair to say that this film surprised a lot of people,myself included there. First of all let's get the plot out of the way. Wendy is a girl who is told to grow up but feels that she doesn't want to. Then one night a boy named Peter Pan comes to her window and whisks her and her brothers away on a magical adventure in Neverland.Okay, PJ Hogan's version of Peter Pan released in 2003. I can honestly say that this film is wonderful. It is truly amazing. I was unbelievably surprised. When I was a kid I just saw it as another Peter Pan film, however when I revisited this a few years back I realised just how amazing this film is. First of all the story is an absolute classic and this film executes it really well. I thought the acting in this film was astonishing. The standouts are Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook and Mr Darling who portrays both roles with real fines and this proves to be some of his best work to date. Also making her acting debut as Wendy Darling Rachael Hurd-Wood is terrific and really invests herself into the character of Wendy both physically and emotionally. John and Michael are fine as are the lost boys all providing some comedic moments without being annoying. Ludivine Sagnier as Tinkerbell is really good and gives off a good performance. Smee is funny providing some fantastically funny moments that will make both adults and kids laugh. And of course, Jeremy Sumpter as Peter Pan. He is a pretty solid Peter. Though it is kind of breaking tradition having Peter cast as an American(not trying to sound racist) it would have been better if they cast a British boy actor or had Sumpter doing a British accent. What really makes this film work is the emotion that is invested into it. I really admire the direction taken here. The first 15-20 minutes are spent with The Darling Family alone showing Wendy's childish actions and behaviour leading the family's reputation downhill and causing more dysfunction. The scene where Mr Darling chucks Nanna the dog outside proves just how tightly the family are all holding together.I think that it is great to get to know the darling family first rather than jumping straight in with Peter. Also I really like how Wendy's character changes and matures over the course of the film. During th beginning Wendy is a child, during the middle she's kind of a teenager and at the end she's almost become a young woman. This proves to be very strong character development partly because of Rachael Hurd-Wood's strong performance. Also the action scenes, well the 2 action scenes of this film are choreographed exceptionally well. The Black Castle segment is the darkest part of the film, providing some thrilling action but also some fantastic comedy from John, Michael and Smee. And the climax is gripping and the duel between Peter and Hook is well done. I love how Hook taunts Peter about Wendy to bring him down. There were 2 "surprise" scenes in this film. The first was the dancing scene between Peter and Wendy. Which is accompanied by James Newton Howard's beautiful soundtrack. This scene was very sweet and touching. And the 2nd was the kiss scene at the end between Peter and Wendy which just shows how much he means to her and how much Wendy has grown up in the space of the entire film. Also I love Newton Howard's score for the film, he really captures the sheer emotion of the characters and the tenseness of the action scenes and the heroism of Peter and Neverland, a masterpiece of a soundtrack. Overall this "Peter Pan", is a triumph with fantastic acting, fantastic character development, great visuals, great comedy, amazing soundtrack, astonishing acting, well executed story. This version works because the sexual tension doesn't make the film detract from its target audience, it only enhances the main message of the story. "everyone grows up, and at that age boys and girls become interested in each other and its natural, you can't get away from it.This is a 10 out of 10. What a fabulous film. My favourite childhood movie ever.
