– Film Review by Mark Glass –
Fabulous visuals wasted on ill-conceived prequel on Peter Pan’s arrival in Neverland
Stars: 2 out of 5
For anyone who finds these comments unduly harsh, please note that I’m not the one who set the tone. When the producers decided to call this thing PAN, just what sort of review did they expect? I’m only maintaining the natural balance between stimulus and response. Basic science. Laws of Physics. Circle of Life. Whatever.
Soooo, what we have here is a live-action prequel to the oft-told fantasy about Peter Pan and Neverland, answering origins questions no one in his right mind ever asked, or creator J.M. Barrie ever dreamt would matter. Even worse, his classic fable was written and set in Victorian England, while this movie has Peter first landing in Neverland during WW II. Without Marty McFly’s time-traveling DeLorean, how did he establish himself in that realm about 50 years later than when he flew Wendy and the boys to the party he’d been hosting?
