It might end up being the most beautiful, moving and all-around-loveliest children’s film of the year.
The director and co-writer David Lowery has made nothing but interesting features, six so far, and while his latest (co-written by Toby Halbrooks) turns into a bit of a Lost Boy here and there in its brooding investigation of why Captain Hook, played by a happily camp-averse Jude Law, got that way, it’s a stirring adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s fantasy.

This movie is just oh, so good, one of my favorite movies of this year of 2023!

I love this movie! All of the Peter Pan movies, in fact, I don't get why people have to be so hateful and spread negativity if this is not hurting anyone. Even the animated version was not the same, not a single one of the other live actions was the same. The point is to bring something new, exciting and maybe even modern. You can have an opinion, but if you need to insult, offend, or bring politics into it, you're automatically wrong. In other movies Peter Pan is not a redhead, Tinkerbell was not blond, Tiger Lily was white, and nobody complained about the forced exclusion. Representation matters, some people cry for nothing, something that is not hurting.

Despite the fact that it trades in a dogged familiarity, this magical story still retains some spark.
The entire thing has a whiff of missed opportunity, and sometimes you might wonder if Lowery and his co-writer Toby Halbrooks wanted to dive deeper than they knew Disney's copyright-tending, merchandise-selling executives would have allowed.
Lowery and Halbrook overstuff the narrative, which begins to wobble and drag under the weight of its obligations. Nevertheless, there are interesting changes and subtle ways the duo correct the original text.
Where “Peter Pan” was a phenomenon, this straight-to-streaming version is but a shadow, scampering off and trying to have fun on its own.
This movie makes being young look like the opposite of fun, a spell you’ve got to break out of. Maybe that’s the ultimate revelation of the story of Peter Pan—but it shouldn’t be drudgery to get there.
A Refreshing and Inclusive Take on a Classic Tale. 'Peter Pan & Wendy' brings a new and refreshing perspective to the classic tale. With its diverse cast and inclusive themes, this movie is a must-see for fans of the original story and newcomers alike. One of the standout aspects of this movie is the diverse cast, which includes actors of various ethnicities and abilities. This representation makes the story feel more inclusive and reflective of the real world, which is especially important for younger viewers who are still forming their understanding of the world around them. This also makes sense to the story, race doesn't affect nor change the story so I don't see it as a bad thing here. The movie also takes a fresh approach to the story, with some twists on the original plot that keep it engaging and surprising. The characters are well-developed, with each having their unique strengths and flaws, and the relationship between Peter and Wendy is explored in a deeper and more nuanced way than in previous adaptations. Another highlight of this movie is the stunning visuals and imaginative settings. From the lush forests of Neverland to the glittering cityscapes of London, the movie transports the viewer to another world, filled with wonder and magic. Overall, 'Peter Pan & Wendy' is a delightful movie that captures the spirit of the original story while also bringing something new and inclusive to the table. Whether you're a fan of the original story or just looking for a fun and heartwarming adventure, this movie is definitely worth watching.

Still not as unoriginal as other Disney resummonings, but alas, it still is an uneventful bore of sorts, "Peter Pan & Wendy" makes you feel more like you're falling then flying.

Not literally but the construct it took to conclude this movie and bring it to live to me wasn't worth the effort, in my eyes maybe in the near or far future a beautiful reboot would have to take shape, we all grow up disney actually like what's going on, is this the turn you've taken maybe i thought wrong seeing how many of us anticipated the movie waiting for a whole new world of wonder just to get the airbag hitting you hard in the face, to some it was awesome but to me NAH. Made my eyes hurt cause in my sense i just had to see it to the end, despite being clueless and all i never knew the meaning until Peter just wanted endless adventures with his best pal hook spoilers alert BOOM. It's more like two friends trapped in an endless loop of tag.
