Pan [Includes Digital Copy] [DVD] [2015]

This was a fun watch. Surprised a little how much my whole family watched this movie and we each had a good time. Nice story line too.

Pan is a highflying peter pan story with twists and turns to enjoy. Great special effects through out the movie making it an enjoyment to see.

Any retelling of Peter Pan is going to come under scrutiny given its predecessors. Try and watch this 'for the first time' with an open mind. With Hugh Jackman as Hook I almost expected Captain (Wolverine) Claw, but he revels in his departures of being able to play a bad guy versus an unhinged good one. The other players give perfunctory performances, and the familiar tale barrels along with suitable boisterousness, but it's Jackman's Hook that steals the show. No surprise there, then.

After PAN tanked in the theaters, and got such bad reviews, I was not sure it was going to keep us engaged. Sure there was some goofy choices, like the pirates signing Nirvana's Smells like teen spirit, but I was pleasantly surprised that I really liked the movie! The back story of Peter Pan was fun ride, meeting James Hook, his friend and partner Sme, and a pretty solid choice of actor to play Peter. Sure it is predictable, sure it is corny, sure it makes you have to believe in things, but go along with it.... allow yourself to believe, be a lost boy again, and enjoy the movie!

Not a perfect movie by any means but enjoyable in this pre-woke era of movies. Unfortunately nowadays you can’t enjoy movies without Politics, agendas or Gender or race swapping of classic characters. Movies like this can no longer be made without heavy criticism in the name of diversity and inclusion

I wasn't sure to expect with all the mixed reviews and mediocre box office results for this movie, but after seeing it I was pleasantly surprised. If you set aside what you know about the Peter Pan story and just sit back and enjoy the ride, you'll probably feel the same. As usual, Hugh Jackman does an excellent job playing his role, and the boy who played Pan held his own too. It's definitely a visual spectacle to enjoy with the whole family.

After so much negative advance word, I was surprised to find that Pan was an enjoyable viewing experience. The visuals are often stunning, the story is classical, and the characters are consistently interesting (and anyone who thinks they're unrealistic or too broadly drawn should take a good long look at reality, which daily offers people every bit as extreme as Blackbeard or Hook). If the film has flaws, they're in the restraint that Wright applied to keep the film family-friendly and in the vestiges of narrative machinery (e.g., the opening voiceover) that dangle the promise of an "origin story". Pan is something else, and if you can take it that way, the Blu-ray is recommended.

I had avoided this for some time - it's an interesting variation of the classic story. Think of it as more of a prequel. Hugh Jackman is certainly over the top as Blackbeard, but he looks like he's having lots of fun. It's enjoyable as long as you go in with an open mind and not expect another rendition of the original J.M. Barrie tale.
