lots of tension & kissing by pre-teens.

This movie was very enjoyable, and I really enjoyed it. It's completely different from the Disney version, but much more accurate to the book. CAUTION: Capt. Hook says d-mnation, and you see two young boys' backsides hanging at the top of the screen. Also, there are two, very drawn-out kisses. Some sword fights, and so on.

After watching this movie with my 9 year old son and 6 year old daughter we bought the original James Barrie novel, read it every night for a month and then missed it when we were done. We found the contemporary novel Peter and The Star Catchers by Dave Barry which is a "prequel" to the original and began reading that just so we could continue our love affair with Peter Pan. The movie is thrillingly acted by Jeremy Sumpter and Jason Issacs as Pan and Hook respectively. I have only known Peter Pan through Disney's eyes but after seeing P.J. Hogans version which so closely resembles the book, you understand how Barrie was a genius at understanding human Nature. Pan is the boy that never grows up yes. But did you every understand before that Hook is the rest of us? Waiting for death which ticks away around every corner, perhaps in the guise of a crocodile with a clock in its stomach? Brilliant! Don't deprive yourself or your children, you will love this movie! By the way, there are some very thrilling parts that might be a little intense for the under 9 set. But nothing disturbing or haunting.

Awesome movie! Great family film! Clean as a whistle! I love it!

I have NO recollection of seeing bare behinds in this movie...but anyways, it was wonderful! One of my favorites...so beautifully done its magical! One thing that is SO funny though...is there is a pirate who is wearing SUNGLASSES. LOL!!! I thought that was hilarious! I wonder who was in charge of costumes sheesh...Capt. Hook was great, as was Peter. I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids though as it can get kind of scary and has a mature theme.

I liked this movie, and just about the only negative thing was the "tension" between Wendy and Peter Pan. They're only 12 or 13 for crying out loud. I don't think that this was in Barry's book. But other than that, it was pretty good. Worth watching.

TOO MUCH KISSING STUFF!

I think I would have enjoyed this movie if my children had been older. I took a toddler and was sorry I did. This rendition is the closest to the original book I've found, and it is beautifully presented (I was really impressed with the caliber of the performances in the young actors)--but that also means it is darker than the Disneyfied version. The mermaids are scary, Hook is definitely disturbed, the crocodile is frightening, the castle is spooky--it was too much for my little one. <p>I would put this film in the same camp as the Harry Potter films--fun and magical, but eerie and scary in parts--really meant for kids 8-11 who can separate magic from reality and not worry that a crocodile is going to swallow them up at any moment once they leave the theater.

I liked this movie a lot but was not happy with the fact that my 5 year old was seeing it with me. This Peter Pan seemed more sexualized than the Disney version. In Disney, Pan wants Wendy to be his and the lost boys' mother and he seems oblivious to Wendy's romantic feelings for him. Here, he wants Wendy to be a mother and he a father to the lost boys. There are several very sexually-charged looks exchanged and a climactic kiss. Hook even acts a little suggestively to Wendy a few times (and the same actor plays her father). Like I said, I really liked it but I wish my son had been 7 or 8, at least. As for the violence, Hook shoots or guts several pirates and there is blood--I didn't consider it fantasy violence.

This was a really fantastic film. I enjoyed seeing this movie with real people in it. I would recommend it to an 8+ age group because it has some kisses and violence, but otherwise really clean.

Unlike other remakes of Peter Pan, this Peter Pan was really played by boy. The actors in Peter Pan were very good. The movie was so magical and one of those classic tales with new surprises. It was a very good movie and I would highly recommend it.
