Summary: Peter (Levi Miller) is a mischievous 12-year-old boy with an irrepressible rebellious streak, but in the bleak London orphanage where he has lived his whole life those qualities do not exactly fly. Then one incredible night, Peter is whisked away from the orphanage and spirited off to a fantastical world of pirates, warriors and fairiesPeter (Levi Miller) is a mischievous 12-year-old boy with an irrepressible rebellious streak, but in the bleak London orphanage where he has lived his whole life those qualities do not exactly fly. Then one incredible night, Peter is whisked away from the orphanage and spirited off to a fantastical world of pirates, warriors and fairies called Neverland. There, he finds amazing adventures and fights life-or-death battles while trying to uncover the secret of his mother, who left him at the orphanage so long ago, and his rightful place in this magical land. Teamed with the warrior Tiger Lily (Rooney Mara) and a new friend named James Hook (Garrett Hedlund), Peter must defeat the ruthless pirate Blackbeard (Hugh Jackman) to save Neverland and discover his true destiny—to become the hero who will forever be known as Peter Pan.… Expand

Wright’s best film so far, livelier and more disloyal to its source than “Atonement” or “Pride and Prejudice” — crams without a care. The outcome is that increasing rarity, a proper children’s film; even the tears are well earned. Read full review

The film fulfills its limited mandate of providing fast-paced adventure and some nice eye candy without adding anything memorable to the tale of The Boy Who Can Fly. Read full review

It's not that Pan isn't entertaining. There's plenty of color and action and some inventive 3-D effects. Jackman's unhinged performance is either gloriously great or gloriously terrible, but captivating either way. There's no magic, though. Read full review

Ill-conceived from any number of angles, this Peter Pan origin story, scripted by Jason Fuchs (Ice Age: Continental Drift), plays topsy-turvy with J.M. Barrie’s beloved characters. Read full review

This joyless, 10-megaton bomb fails in just about every imaginable way, as well as some you couldn’t possibly imagine. Read full review

A lot of imagination went into making Pan's origin story. It can be a dazzling experience. One that's a heck of a lot of fun if you let yourself get lost in it's world. There are a lot of exciting things to behold.

With bright colors, bonkers moments, and great CGI it's all a sight to behold. The writing itself holds up well. Peter's lack of faith in himself is perhaps familiar, but I was still invested in it every step of the way. The movie also manages a great sense of humor and some emotional moments regarding Peter's mother. The only thing missing is watching Hook becoming the villain we know him to be.

The cast is fantastic. Levi Miller is a talented young actor. While odd at first, the Indiana Jones vibe Garrett Hedlund brings to Captain Hook is an interesting take on the character. One that is ultimately likable. The real star of the show though is Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard. His eccentric performance is a blast. He is clearly having fun in the role and the movie is all the better for it. He plays a great villain.

The movie serves as a great way to bring Pan's magical world to life. With hilarity, heart, and crazy moments it's a spectacular and thrilling movie. One that's perfect for families and does the classic story justice. A movie that's just all around wonderful.… Expand

I could not believe that Hugh Jackman was in this film. At the end I saw his name and was utterly incredulous, so I think his performance in this must have been very good!

I really liked that character, he had a lot of gravitas and his introduction was very cool.
That is pretty much the highlight of the movie for me.
All through the film, all I could think was "stop playing that 'Lord Of All Hopefulness' song, please!!" . It seems like that tune is played continuously throughout the entire movie. At times when they aren't playing that tune, the music is so rowdy and noisy that I found it difficult to really go with the flow. Simply put, the score ruined this movie for me. I think if they had better sound in the film, I might have enjoyed it a lot more.
Still, I did enjoy it.

Best part about this was my mum really enjoyed it and she couldn't have gone if I hadn't gone with her so that made it worthwhile!… Expand

This rendition is decent, there has just been so many Pan movies that I am kind of over it. I found that I wasn't paying all that much attention when the kids were watching it. I liked it enough though.

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit in a Peter Pan movie? What the f**k!.

The story is about a young orphan boy finds himself taken to the magical world known as Neverland. Trouble and adventure await the boy - a boy who will one day become the one and only Peter Pan. So I've just seenNirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit in a Peter Pan movie? What the f**k!.

The story is about a young orphan boy finds himself taken to the magical world known as Neverland. Trouble and adventure await the boy - a boy who will one day become the one and only Peter Pan.

So I've just seen Pan a few days ago and I was quite shocked of how bad this film was. This might be the most disappointing movie of the year for me, because Pan was my most anticipated movie of 2015... and it fails to live up to my exceptions.

Levi Miller did a decent job playing Peter Pan in the movie, I mean he's really trying here and I can see that from him. This is he's first big motion picture film and it really dose show. He didn't do a terrible performance like most kid actors, he did alright for what he had to work with.

Now Rooney Mara is a great actress and she has shown us that she has talent, but here I felt like she was really miscast. I never brought her as this character and I found it kinda strange that she cast as this character in the first place.

Garrett Hedlund as Captain Hook dose what I call a "teeth talking performance", and what I mean is that he shows his teeth a lot to deliver dialogue. Oh and he also sounds like Jack Nicholson mix with Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood, it get's freaking annoying after awhile.

Hugh Jackman as the villain was really over the top and really cartoonist. Jackman is so much better than this.

The movie lacks on character development, the story isn't interesting, the movie felt rushed at times and the cgi in this movie looks unfinished. Seriously, the effect's in the movie look so fake and very noticeable that it's Fant4stic level bad when it comes to visual effect's.

Overall Pan was a giant mess of a film. Hook (1991 film) was way better than this movie. I wanted to like this movie but I couldn't bring myself to say that this is a "good movie", because it's not. As a person who grew up on Peter Pan I couldn't stand this movie.… Expand

An interesting Peter Pan adventure just got turned into a pointless prequel nobody even wanted in the first place. It should've been better than what they've done with the movie.

Pans intriguing ideas are overshadowed by its disgraceful decision to whitewash Indians. Some of its plot points were also kinda predictable.
