August 18, 2009There were things that I really liked about this film (like Hook and the fight scene at the end) but then were also things that really put me off (like Peter looking like a total lech and Tink).

June 30, 2009This is by far the most accurate and striking adaptation of the J.M. Barrie favourite that has yet been made. Indeed it is difficult to see how it could have been better.
Whilst I'm writing here in praise of the film, I feel I must take issue with the comments of Mr John Ulmer w...( read more) -
November 5, 2008This is also a movie I can never get into. If I want to live forever why don't I just get Edward Cullen to come bite me?

May 4, 2008Somehow I remember the story of the play to be a bit different, despite of the obvious and well known factors, like the ticking crocodile, the pirates, etc. However, the design of Neverland is really nice done here, just like the flying effects. The child actors for Peter and Wen...( read more)

March 27, 2008pretty daft and the children talk like they've got a silver spoon wedged up their arsehole but apart from that it's a decent enough effort at a kids film. actually thought some of the child actors like sumpter and hurd-wood were good. most child actors are just plain annoying (da...( read more)

A.O. Scott, The New York Times
What distinguishes this Peter Pan from other versions is its unsentimental insight into the terrors and delights of both childhood and growing up. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Every generation deserves its own version of Peter Pan. Until the next one arrives in 2019 or so, this one will do nicely. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Has in the young British actress Rachel Hurd-Wood a Wendy for the ages. full review
December 25, 2003
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Possesses effects galore, although curiously little to spark the imagination. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
I walked in anticipating a sweet kiddie fantasy and was surprised to find a film that takes its story very seriously indeed, thank you, and even allows a glimpse of underlying sadness. full review

November 13, 2007This may not be as barrie's-book-like as this was originally meant to be and later romanticized but I don't think it's all that bad, as the first love thing really was wonderfully done and Jeremy and Rachel have such a perfect chemistry. I know this is far more sentimental than the original book but I see it as enrichement, not a flaw like so many others. i say they need to open their minds. ;) I too do wish someone would make a literal movie out of the book but as long as not, then this is absolutely the best ever and probably would remain even so, for me. :D What scares me most is that sometimes people who diss this version, like the Disney cartoon which is the furthest thing from the story of Peter Pan.
The only thing I miss from this 2003 live-action version is the mother-issue of Peter and how it effects his relationship with Wendy. With that, this movie would have been Perfection. -

July 20, 2007It is the best version of all the peter pan stories. the fantasy and the action, but more of all i loved the romance in the whole story. There is an element of sexuality.Wendy mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of this story. When peter pan flies into their house one night and leads them over moon light through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungle of never land. The girl and her brothers join peter and the lost boys in an exhilarating life free of grown up rules they has to face the inevitable shown down with Hook and his bloodthirsty pirate. there is one kiss which makes peter pan alive again.
