Kids know Peter Pan as the hero who will never grow up and Wendy as the girl who is told she has to! But what kids think that ‘Peter Pan’ won’t work as a live action movie?
To my surprise, I found the live action ‘Peter Pan’ to be better than the Disney movie! ‘Peter Pan’ is more magical than the Disney movie!
Peter Pan (Jeremy Sumpter) returns in real life where he takes Wendy (Rachel Hurd-Wood) and her brothers to Neverland! Now with ‘Hook’, you had an adult Peter Pan (Robin Williams) which critics didn’t want to see! Neither did I! And I didn’t want to see Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell! Ludivine Sagnier is a far better choice! Dustin Hoffman was a good choice for Captain Hook but Jason Isaacs was even better!
‘Peter Pan’ features a charming cast (Jason Isaacs, Jeremy Sumpter, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Richard Briers, Olivia Williams, Lynn Redgrave, Ludivine Sagnier), wonderful effects, stunning sets, mind blowing music and some amazing sword fights! I thought I’d like the 1953 Disney movie more but I liked this one better which says a lot!
