Rick Kitchen October 10, 2015 Share October 10, 2015 (edited) Man, this movie is getting horrible reviews, and I don't understand why. I really liked it. First off, it's beautiful. I even loved how the Tribe members burst into brightly colored powder when they were shot. I loved when Peter grabbed Saturn on his first flight. I loved the singing of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Blitzkrieg Bop". I loved the foreshadowing to the better-known story, with the references to "Tick tock" from Peter, and Hook's fear of crocodiles. I didn't like Rooney Mara whitewashing the role of Tiger Lily, and I thought Garrett Hedlund's cowboy accent was bizarre. I also don't like that they left the story with Peter and Hook as friends and Hook and Tiger Lily as potential love interests, with no explanation as to how Cook fell out with them. I forgot to mention that this film has some of the best use of 3D that I've seen in a long while.

twoods October 11, 2015 Share October 11, 2015 Haven't seen it but WB must be sweating that their 150 million movie is probably not going to break 20 mil this weekend. Looks like something I would enjoy when it comes out on video, but I don't understand how a studio can think that people will show up to watch another Peter Pan movie, and marketing didn't do a good job with showing why this movie is worth watching.

hjmugillecuty October 12, 2015 Share October 12, 2015 Hook was very Indiana Jones-like in my opinion. The dialogue, especially. I enjoyed the movie, but I don't know if I'd choose to see it again unless I caught it on TV. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32829-pan-2015/#findComment-1593030

Cobalt Stargazer October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Yeah, I don't understand the hate. I didn't like Rooney Mara whitewashing the role of Tiger Lily I think you already answered that question. I had someone tell me they hated the movie on principle because of Mara's casting and had no intention of seeing it. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/32829-pan-2015/#findComment-1597600
arc October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 Well, besides that, I read a review where it said the expected Pan-Hook rivalry not only wasn't explained in this movie but it ended on a line somewhat like "we're best friends, and what could possibly change that?" ... so, that doesn't sound good either.

Jan Spears October 13, 2015 Share October 13, 2015 I knew it was going to flop because I follow Executive Producer Greg Berlanti's Twitter feed and he barely mentioned it in the weeks leading up to the release. He had been chatty about it for a while but then the tweets trailed off. Either Warner Brothers eased him out of the picture to the point where he didn't feel any great loyalty to it or he knew it was going to flop and didn't want to be attached to it.
