Peter Pan & Wendy may well have been called Peter & Hook as that is where the heart of the movie lies. Jude Law makes for a decent Captain Hook and is the best thing in the latest, pointless, live-action disney movie.
Alexander Molony is a bland Peter Pan and doesn't get to showcase much outside a couple of fight scenes with Hook and has no chemistry with either Wendy or any of the 'lost boys'.
Tiger Lily, Smee, John & Michael, even Tinkerbell is an afterthought here and contribute nothing to the story. Wendy fairs slightly better but most of her scenes fall flat.
The best scene in the movie is a moment shared between Peter & Hook as Hook is famously about to fall to his peril. Hook's line in this moment is genuinely sad and in these parts the movie works.
Peter Pan & Wendy is another soulless entry in Disney's canon of forgettable live-action movies and fails in every way the 1953 version succeeds. On to The Little Mermaid...what could go wrong?
