Peter Pan & Wendy

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.

I feel like at this point Disney is trying so hard to be diverse that it's comes off as trying too hard. This isn't the Peter Pan movie we grew up knowing. It just didn't work for me. I felt like the first 15mins of the movie you can already tell what you're instore for. The new actor for Tinkerbell did ok. I didn't like Peter whatsoever. I tried to like Wendy but it was very hard too. (It wasn't the acting, they just didn't fit the part) I don't see this movie being a hit. No wonder it went directly to Disney +. On some positive note the cgi was pretty decent. They made some things make more sense. Hook was great. The crocodile looked great. New neverland was awesome. On in all I don't want to discredit the actors but we can blame the director for the direction he took this move and how he chose to take it.

Overall I like Peter Pan. The fun loving playful attitude of pan makes him a great character. I also use to really love hook as a villain. Personally I did not feel a strong connection to either character. The every scene seemed to be lacking a bit of emotion to me. The small twist they had among Captain Hook and pan was some what clever and did add something to the movie. But the overall feeling that pan gave me and the depressing feeling I got from these two was a bit upsetting to me and took away from the movie. I feel Disney has gone back and tried to give these villains more of a silver lining and make them more likeable, for example cruella was great. I personally thought they could have done better with hook as a villain. Also I personally have loved the alligator in the past and felt he did not get enough love in the movie but that is a personal bias. I was a bit underwhelmed in the end.

Don't ask questions, just consume product an get excited for next product....

Things just happen in this movie and are barely explained, just hand waved away. Its like the writers expect you to know the original story but then if you know the original story you are guaranteed to be annoyed by the changes they have made for the so called "modern audience"....

The cast is alright from my point of view, not perfect just good enough, the problem is the writing and the overall production value, it lacks entertainment value, I didn't feel the magic....

The common excuse is that its for children but I wouldn't recommend showing this to children....

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!
