Peter Pan (2003)
7/10
Awesome film
14 January 2004
Nowadays, it is so rare for me to see a film that moves me. Peter Pan is one of those rare gems that can make an adult feel like a kid again. There were wonderful performances and visual effects. Jeremy Sumpter who plays Pan did a wonderful job, despite his passage into manhood during the filming of the movie. Rachel is very talented as Wendy, and Jason can make an character seem creepy. In fact, the only problem I had with the film was Sumpter's speaking problems. This only happened in one scene, but it did stick out in my mind. The reason it did was because it is probably one of the most famous lines from the book: "Second star to the right and straight on till morning. For some reason I detected a slight Irish accent which made it sound like marning when he said it. Also his lisp came very prevalent in another line in the same scene, but it was forgivable.

Jason Isaacs was a superb choice as Hook. He made him a monster when he was a monster, but he gave him an interesting human element when it was necessary. It was so good that I almost pitied him when i came to the realization that he truly is alone. This makes him hate Pan all the more and he begins to discover Pan's weakness. All in all it was an enjoyable film. I give it an 8/10
