Too much of everything
Fantastic!
Beautiful, moving film.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
This movie is so REAL, and so ACCURATE. I met a situation in life that parallels it EXACTLY. If the writers only knew it's as if spirits take over their bodies and make them duplicate, right down to the dude who is Peter who smokes Clove cigarettes and dropped out of everything and worked for the Carnival before he went to jail and I even know Hook and all about his secret life, Hook (came from a divorce, the dad died, he was adopted by a wealthy man) is so pompous because he likes to play rich and lost a lot being wrong, and he works hard at good things and gets nowhere because he's bad in some areas, and doesn't know it, and Peter... he only likes weird chicks, and drugs and there's a few more women than tinkerbelle but this is only a movie! And well it's more than that, it's one hell of a [email protected]
i now forget why I'm have been searching every store/rental place for this on DVD since spring of 2005 but i glad i finally found it. the storyline is very creative how it took original peter pan story into a dark tale about growing up. the acting was OK. Rick sparks who played peter pan was the only good actor in this movie. then the girl who played tink was next down. The rest except the girl who played Wendy were not as good. i hope rick start getting more movie roles because he is hot. i think think the people who will see this are people who are into the stories peter pan and people who will any movie just because it different. officially i rate this a 9.5 because .5 of it was the bad acting of the lost boys. i think everybody should watch this movie at least once, i bet whoever watches this wont think of the novel/Disney movie/newest movie of peter pan the same why as they did before because i know i wont
As many others have commented,this movie lacks as much as it has to offer. The cinematography is poor and the editing is worse. Long transitional scenes seem to have been added just get get characters from one place to another while padding the screen time.Many have mentioned that t he acting was poor, but Wil Wheaton is a fairly good actor and he simply doesn't shine, here. So I think I would blame it on the direction. The story is the strongest reason to see this. It holds pretty close to the original Peter Pan, up to a point. It has a certain "What if Peter Pan Took Place in the Real World" point of view but still seems so bizarre, since the lost boys act so immature even though they've grown up physically. These guys are in their 20's and still act like little boys (Can Wendy be our mother?. And most of them look a bit too much like male models, which I found distracting. However, the bizzarreness is what attracted me to this film. That and the fact that I got to see Wil Wheaton acting out a role far from Wesley Crusher or the mentally ill homeless guy on CSI. This one's wort a look-see.. if you appreciate low-budget, badly acted, badly photographed movies with a twist.
Since a young age, I have been in love with the story of Peter Pan. This version of the story is no exception. This movie had the potential to be brilliant, but it does not deliver. I loved the disenfranchised Darling children, but their characters could have been more developed. If the movie had been longer, it may have done this properly. There were so many loose ends that were never explained, such as Tinkerbell's child and who exactly was Wendy's boyfriend and what did he have to do with the story? The acting was horrible in the beginning, but progressively got better, tanks in large part to the actors who played Tinkerbell and Peter Pan. The plot is so wonderful and the ideas and cinematography are enchanting, but if only the director took a little more time on the details, instead of just chain of random events from the book, then this movie could have been on of my favorites. So for shear creativity and story, I gave this movie a 7. Plus the guy who plays Peter is uber dreamy.
