Neverland

Peter Pan is my absolute favorite movie. This is literally one of the greatest versions ever. Absolutely, love this sifi twist to a classic.

Great prequel to peter pan. Much better than the Pan movie A+++

I love fairy tales that are realistic and dark, yet have happy endings. This one is one of the best that I have ever seen. The cast issuperb, sets very atmospheric with lots of nasties including piratess Bonnie, based on a real woman pirate. I liked the twistwith the globe device that allowed people to move from present day to Neverland. In the book, Neverland is located in the AtlanticOcean but this makes it more spooky and surreal. I understand the people who made this movie also made ALICE and TIN MAN.They like high cliffs, towering trees and other vertically challenged heights; I particularly liked the Tree City. London is well donevisually and must have not been a pleasant place for poor kids to live. When I was in London in the late 1970s I made it a pointto visit the famous Peter Pan statue in Kensington Gardens. I have an original (or nearly original) book PETER AND WENDY thatmy Mom used to read to me when I was little. Its falling apart but I treasure it and keep it in my rather extensive private library. James Hook is marvelously played as the villainous caretaker who will eventually become Captain Hook. While most pre-sequalssuffer a bit from fore-knowledge by the viewers of what is going to happen later, this film really shines, in my opinion, as havingenough new imaginative stories to make it really worth while owning and watching. May the Lost boys live forever.Note: I get all my DVDs from AMAZON. I give this DVD-movie 5 stars.

Delivered as described

That Peter Pan kid surely had a number of interesting "beginnings," or so public-domain allows! But producers still see fit to channel profits from projects involving Peter to the Children's Home in London to whom author Barrie left the rights. This one is a colorful imagination that emerged as an entertaining mini-series a year or two back. Good family entertainment attractively presented in a fine blu-ray release.

Neverland is as brilliant as it is magical with beautiful imagery and fantastic acting. I truly enjoyed this prequel to the classic fairy tale.If you ever wondered how Peter Pan ended up in Neverland in the first place and what happened to him before he met Wendy, this movie has all the answers. Peter was a foster child to none other than, James Hook. He and his friends (the lost boys) were theives who would do jobs for Hook in exchange for a roof over their heads, food on the table and clothes on their backs. One job in particular led them to the orb that magically transported all of them, with the exception of Peter, into Neverland. Peter soon follows them to Neverland on a quest to save his friends. There he befriends a tribe of Indians who help him, he rescues his friends from the pirates who have captured them and he meets Tinker Belle who saves his life. He soon discovers who Hook really is and to what extent he would go to get what he wants from Peter.Overall, I thorougly enjoyed this fun and fantasic tale. This prequel was an exciting and engaging adventure and the perfect addition to a beloved classic. The ending leaves it open for a sequel and I sure would love to see Syfy's take on the classic when Peter meets Wendy.

Mr. Ifans' performance in "Neverland" is about as subtle as a flying cow flop, which is the main problem with an otherwise rather interesting movie. "Neverland" attempts to lay the groundwork for the better-known stories of the escapades of Peter Pan, and it works effectively on this level. But if we're supposed to view Hook as a fairly decent chap who in the course of this movie becomes a monster, forget it. He's a jerk from the moment he steps onto the screen, unredeemable even though a case is presented for the torments of his life that took him to the "Fagan-like" role he's living when we meet him.The beloved Disney version of the Peter Pan story is no more accurate to the original text than "Neverland", but since there was genuine potential here to illuminate the backstory, it's a shame this movie doesn't really deliver. It's an attractive production, with predictably good performances, especially by the children; but by the halfway point, I was getting bored.Hook's the key character in this movie; I wish he'd been better drawn and that Mr. Ifans had delivered one of his more multi-dimensional typical performances. Do we love him or hate him? Do we care? Booyah.

One of the best Peter Pan movies I've seen on a while. Every character nailed thier role. Excellent writing, great plot, great special effects. I don't know how chris Rowe (peter) isn't a household name by now. You'll get lost in the story and love every minute of it.It does add a scientific explanation for how the characters get to neverlabd that's believable and adds to the story, the myth, the legend that is peternal pan. This story is more of an origin story of how Peter Pan and captain hook came to be that fits in with the other Peter Pan stories out there.It is a long run time, but but we'll worth the time and money.

Awesome movie loved it when it first aired on tv in 2011 arrived in great conditions and on time.

Wonderful story , well told with superb performances from all of the cast.A really enjoyable film

Perfect

An interesting prequel to Peter Pan. Well produced.

the first half of the movie is interesting as one is introduced to the characters, the last half of the movie starts to feel just a bit like a chore to watch to the end. overall, this is just a so-so movie with nice visuals. the story is alright, not particularly memorable though.
