Peter Pan & Wendy

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.

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!

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.

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.
