This film is a prequel to J. M. Barrie's stageplay Peter Pan. Peter is kidnapped from his orphanage by pirates and taken to Neverland. There he discovers secrets about his mother, and his fate to protect the fairy kingdoms.
This film was directed by Joe Wright. This is offers a unique perspective on the origin story of Peter Pan. The story has a lot of potential. But it attempts to be too intelligent and creative that it neglects to present the childhood innocence and mischievous nature of Pan. It is humorously that it tries to reconnect with the original by offering innuendo's, and keep itself PC. I've recently noticed that modern children movies have chosen to take popular songs and re-use them instead of creating original music, and this film is no different. The steampunk and fantastical backdrop was great to watch on screen. The computer animation was overbearing, but looked pretty. Levi Miller played the role of Peter Pan. He was good at creating a sincere character. Garrett Hedlund played the role of Hook. His performance was over the top and too comical. Rooney Mara played the role of Tiger Lily. She was nice to watch on screen, but felt flat. Hugh Jackman played the role of Blackbeard. His performance was way too over the top, but it is easy to see how a cartoon version of Hook would've taken behavioral traits from him.
This film can be seen on DVD.
I give this film 2 out of 5 stars! Good computer animation isn't enough to rescue this expensive children's film from its problems.
