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.

We only saw this movie because my 14-year-old son and a friend ended up seeing it for free at a theater's summer movie series. They thought it was cool. Turned out it was. It's more like a grown-up's Peter Pan, one that we can all recognize ourselves in at a particular point in our lives. It's beautifully filmed, and Jacob Isaacs is a splendid Captain Hook. Jeremy Sumpter and Rachel Hurd-Wood are excellent, reminding me of how Romeo and Juliet should be played, and, yet, never are. And Lynn Redgrave's character, although it wasn't in the book or any other films, is a nice addition.

This is the closest Peter Pan to the book that has ever been made-I recommend it for Adults-not exactly for kids.When I was a wee young thing my Italian Noni used to read us bedtime stories-usually not the ones with happy endings-more the dark kind. I have been read and read Peter Pan at least 100 times. This movie is possibly the closest to the intent of Barrie,it sticks to the double edge of the book closely. The acting,especially Hook/Darling double role played by Jason Issacs is superb-Who would have thought Hook could be so evil and sexy at the same time.And Lynn Redgrave was amazing. Funny I had not seen it until today.I was in tears from beginning to end.

Peter Pan, one of the most enduring stories of all time, finds its ideas and visions captured perfectly in this film adaptation.THE GOOD: Just about everything. The script is true to its literary roots, the casting is absolutely perfect, the visuals are wonderful, the score is beautiful, and the special effects are classy and elegant. Special applause for ending the creepy tradition of having women in the lead role. Rather than confusing the crap out of us with Cathy Rigby or Mary Martin, Jeremy Sumpter as the lead *is* Peter Pan. He is convincing, entertaining, and fully believable. The use of colour to convey moods is both beautiful and effective. The climax gives you chills. It is wondrous how much excitement and joy has been squeezed into this gem. The audio is haunting and perfect.THE BAD: There is nothing bad about Peter Pan. It could not have been done any better. This is the definitive version for all time.THE VERDICT: The is a great looking and sounding film. The story is wondrous and exciting. The actors are all uniformly perfect for the roles. Jeremy Sumpter in particular is a revelation. I really believe that this version of Pan is one of the great cinematic achievements of film. Everyone should watch this - it's pure enjoyment that represents everything that the cinema should be. I have also found it to be one of the most re-watchable movies ever; it can give you butterflies in your stomach just as much on the tenth viewing as the first. One of the most solid 5 stars out of 5 that I can name.
