Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Mehdi Hoffman There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

cinemajesty Movie Review: "Pan" (2015)Despite having an outstanding cast surrounding Hugh Jackman, performing as Captain Blackbeard in stellar costume and make-up and bringing together actress Rooney Mara as Tiger Lily and Garrett Hedlund, giving face to an much more humanized 20-something Captain Hook, director Joe Wright, receiving the highest Hollywood high-end of his career, nevertheless losing the strings along the way through post-production, when the editorial of a 105-Minutes seems utterly unbalanced, where only single scenes as Captain Blackbeard's amazingly performed introduction with a singing and dancing Hugh Jackman on a massive sailing ship's deck in splendid production design by Aline Bonetto can convince.FAZIT: Picture rejected (butchered)Cinemajesty Entertainments 2018

magnuslhad The only sense of wonder Pan invokes is who to blame for this spectacular pig's breakfast of a film. Screenwriter Jason Fuchs seems to have no sense at all of visual storytelling. Everyone speaks in expository dialogue from the off, and does not let up to the credits. The kids find the treasure trove, and so say "It's the treasure trove." Then they find the records and so say, "It's the records." Did Fuchs think he was writing a radio play? Why did Wright straitjacket his cast with these stiff exchanges? The film touches on Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, Star Wars, The Matrix, shamelessly cannibalizing parts from other successful adventures and insultingly thinking we won't notice. The boy playing Pan looks good but acts so wooden he blends into the ship. Everyone else is flat, though the clunky dialogue gives them very little option for nuance. Wright opts for a big blancmange of colour, song and CGI, but it's a mix that falls dreadfully flat. I came to this with low expectations - the only surprise was that it is even worse than the bad reviews imply.

bheadher Having seen just about every version of Peter Pan that came out, I wasn't quite ready to see a reimagining of the story...While there is a certain evil to Jackman's version of Hook, the feel came across as more pompous than usual, using overdone stunts and action as the story, rather than letting the story unfold...Never Never Land is full of huge crystals in this version, rather than the outdoorsy jungle environment, which to me made the movie less appealing. frankly, it was more like a Peter Pan in space kind of feel. All in all, I just didn't feel entertained, with all the action replacing a solid fantasy story...

Dark Jedi I found this to be a quite enjoyable family movie derived from the Peter Pan story we all love. I am not really sure why it holds a fairly mediocre rating on most rating sites. It is undeserved as far as I am concerned.The movie is a prequel which tells the story of how Peter became Peter Pan. I think the story is fairly well done and allows for both adventure and humor.The characters are pretty good although I found Peter Pan to actually be the weakest of them. Hook and Tiger Lily not to mention Blackbeard stole quite a lot of my attention. Peter Pan is not bad just a little…bland.The movie is darker and more real than other Peter Pan movies. Blackbeard is a rather nasty villain and there are certainly more danger for the good guys in this movie. People do not just get knocked down and come back, they really die.The special effects are not bad. I quite liked the pixie swarms at the end of the movie. Also, unlike what some reviewers state Peter Pan does fly in the movie. I can only assume that those who state that he does not never bothered to see the movie to the end. Do not review a movie if you cannot be bothered to finish it for Christ sake! The movie leaves a bit of a whole between the end of this story and the beginning of the traditional Peter Pan story. What happened to make Peter and Hook become enemies and what is the story between Hook and the crocodile for instance? I certainly would not mind a second movie about that.
