DVD Reviews of Peter Pan (Widescreen Edition)DVD Review: every family should buy this movie Summary: 5 Starsi looked everywhere for this peter pan on dvd (a newer version made in the 2000's) and found it brand new and priced well. the movie is perfect and got to me within a week or less.
DVD Review: The blessings/sorrows of being forever young Summary: 5 Stars If you want to get away from the mundane existence of everyday life and go on a great adventure, I would suggest getting this movie. It takes the J.M. Barrie tale to wonderful new heights with stunning visuals and gorgeous landscapes. And the children chosen to act were superb. Jeremy Sumpter is the perfect Pan, with a mischievous grin and a wonderful sparkle in his beautiful green eyes. And Rachel Hurd-Wood makes an amazing debut as Wendy. She is perfect for the part, playing the role as I had always envisioned it being played in my head. The wonderful undercurrent of a young crush between Peter and Wendy is both sweet and heart-breaking, as this can never be, because Peter will never grow up. Also, added to this already wonderful film is the extra of the alternate ending. I won't ruin it for those who haven't seen it, except to say that it's clear they weren't planning to use it in the film as you can see the special effects props quite clearly. And also to say that the alternate ending allows for a wonderful transition into the movie "Hook" which once I finish watching, I will review.
Two Thumbs as high up as I can go!!!!
DVD Review: My daughter loves this movie Summary: 5 StarsMy 2 year old absolutely loves this movie. We've watched it so many times she has it memorized. I purchased the copy from Amazon as a backup or replacement copy for the one we already have in the event that I should need one later.
DVD Review: Peter wow! Summary: 4 StarsThis was certainly a nice surprise. What seems to be a light hearted fun movie for children certainly has a dark, undercurrent theme for adults as well. It's both uplifting and tragic at the same time. Peter Pan is certainly the main hero type thing, but unlike the Disney version (the only one I've seen previously), it certainly shows the character's "fall from grace" and shows the "Peter Pan syndrome" in not wanting to grow up. But at its heart it does well to depict that it's not "just a mere choice" as it often seems but does well to show that it goes beyond the surface exterior most people show. His unwilling to grow up is his safety net on preventing from getting hurt. The movie shows the hope for Peter to truly breach that skin, and the sadness when he doesn't but you still feel for him. He embodies that innocence many have forgotten and/or try to protect still. A recommended movie for families with young children to watch with as they grow and mature as they may pick up the themes along the way. I would give a perfect 5 star rating except (as difficult as it may be) there is room for perfection. As the movie begins it certainly has that "kids movie" feel which may put off some "maturer" viewers. Certain scenes appear as gimics which some people may not enjoy. In a sense it calls out to the child in us and asks us to use our imagination to fill in the gaps where the special effects don't quite make it. Not to be taken too seriously, it never the less leaves quite an impact (whether you like it or not).
DVD Review: Peter Pan Summary: 5 StarsPeter Pan (Widescreen Edition)
My Daughter has wanted this movie and I couldn't find it anywhere but here. She loves it, and the price was amazing.
Description of Peter Pan (Widescreen Edition)The magic, the excitement, the wonder of the true Peter Pan comes to life for the first time in this spellbinding fantasy that critics proclaim "a fun and fantastic tale!" (Daily Herald). Brimming with spectacular special effects and non-stop action, this all-new adventure is sure to be a family favorite for years to come! "One of the finest films of the year!" (Daily Gazette) Fine casting, genuinely special effects, and a keen combination of whimsy and danger make this Peter Pan the one to beat among all previous adaptations of J.M. Barrie's classic children's fantasy. The technical advances of CGI make the magic of Barrie's tale come alive, and the spectacular effects combined with luminous live action create an action-packed Neverland that's both believable and breathtakingly artificial, like a Maxfield Parrish landscape springing vividly to life before your eyes. More important, however, is the fact that director P.J. Hogan (whose splendid films include Muriel's Wedding and My Best Friend's Wedding) has taken care to develop a substantial, pre-adolescent affection between the boyish sprite Peter (Jeremy Sumpter) and resourceful London girl Wendy, played by Rachel Hurd-Wood in a marvelous screen debut. This emotional bond--and the mixed blessing of Peter's eternal childhood--is what gives Hogan's Peter Pan its rich emotional subtext, added to an already bountiful adventure that's equal parts delightful and menacing, especially when the villainous pirate Captain Hook (Jason Isaacs, doubling as Wendy's father) threatens to spoil the fun. With a mischievously dazzling Tinker Bell (played by Swimming Pool's Ludivine Sagnier) and no expense spared on its lavish Australian production, this Peter Pan gets it entirely right by presenting childhood as fun and frightening, in all its wondrous joys and sorrows. --Jeff Shannon
