Likes :  I really don't understand why this film got so much bad press & reviews from critics, ya there are a few thing that i notice which made the film a little flawed, but all in all this was a great entertaining film to watch.

This is not the Peter pan story were already seen before some many time over, every story has a beginning this is one story that show who peter really is & how he was able to fly, plus a story of how he met captain hook before they became enemies.

You can tell from the very beginning alot of work has gone into making this film into a stunning visual effect of colours, atmosphere & characters, Huge Jackman stand out performance as black beard was brilliant in selling a character obsessed with immortality with fairy dust.

 Levi Miller was just brilliant as a child star playing peter pan character with a bit of a trouble child looking for adventure in the wrong places, really come in to his own as the story unfolds.  Rooney Mara didnt really think she would of suited the role as tiger lilly but what a performance totally sold the character & made it her own.

Garrett Hedlund plays the legendary captain hook before he become the pirate, dose a great job at doing it but wasn't to shore on the voice it felt a little force but thankfully you get use to it as the film progresses alone, which goes at a steady pace.

The special effect are stunning to bring a beautiful magical world of Neverland in all it glory, with some back story of pans mother & father which is great for the film. if your actually looking for a great family film this is one to watch.

Dislikes : Two flaws in this film which i did notice one obvious at the begin, the story said 12 years had moved on it was in the world war 2 which is 1940, yet at the beginning of the film peter is a young baby in what look like late 18th century victorian iron age in beginning of the 1900, so it skip 40 years in storyline which if your gonna nick pick would be a mistake in the film.

The other really is that the film doesn't explain how peter & hook became enemies, weather they will do sequel to this pan film not should but if not this story should be told for the back ground story.

Overall : Great story, Great characters, Good musical moment & perfect performances.

Rating: 5 out of 5 for entertainment / 8 out of 10 for backstory.
