Honestly, yes. This is what a remake should do. Adding and adapting few things while keeping the original story the same.
One of the best things is to keep the focus on Wendy. Peter Pan might be main character but at the end of day he is still a pretty boring character. It is Wendy and her development as character that make the stories interesting. Even Spielberg realised the limits with Pan and made him adult.
And then there is Hook played by Jude Law who might be the best Hook so far. Less camp moron, more actual real pirate. And with a interesting story to him, making it more interesting to watch. Law owns the movie.
Also positive is the fact they use real backgrounds and not another CGI created world. Creates that nice retro old family adventure feeling.
Overall a really pleasent surprise. Warm, exciting and surprisingly tragic with a fresh take on the relationships between the main characters. Check it out!
