FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://insessionfilm.com/movie-review-peter-pan-wendy/ "Peter Pan & Wendy may be overly familiar, but David Lowery brings a sense of true wonder to Neverland, marking this personal project of his as one of Disney's best live-action remakes in years. Filled with visually striking moments, tons of adventurous sequences, and a diverse, inclusive cast that deserves every praise and then some. Daniel Hart's score is absolutely magnificent and stands out superbly! A pleasant spring surprise that shouldn't be missed!" Rating: B+

Neither good or bad, <em>'Peter Pan & Wendy'</em> is rather average. Peter Pan is admittedly a tale that, even as a kid, I never really clicked with. The two Disney animated flicks are films I'd consider as good, but even then I didn't really vibe with them all that much. I think it's because I find the story quite one-dimensional, there's never anything that I can sink my teeth into. I do, though, like how this version mixes a few things up, particularly with Hook and Pan's backstory. As well as how Tinker Bell acts, I always found it a bit odd how she would be jealous of Wendy in the other pictures - her behaviour in this 2023 film does feel much more logical. So I do give credit to the filmmakers for these changes. Those weren't enough for me to enjoy this, however. At least it's better than 1991's <em>'Hook'</em>. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Another mediocre remake of a classic from Disney. People keep saying Jude Law’s performance was one for the books but I just don’t think he was the right casting choice at all. Don’t know who else but it wasn’t him. Ever Anderson was a standout but only because there wasn’t much to standout from.  The score was the best part of this easily forgettable movie. Gave more depth and made me pay attention to the music rather than the actual scene.
