4/10
Across the board... solid 4 out of 10

Warning: Spoilers
The music numbers are simply random.

The story is so over done and nothing at all new to see. At least with Hook the old guy lost his marbles, Peter Pan grew up and forgot who he was, Tink talked and laughed, and old Wendy was fascinating.

In this version there is nothing new. Nothing noteworthy. Captain Hook has zero intimidation factor. Smee was simply boring and may as well have been a coatrack in the background. Peter Pan had a few moments that basically matched the cartoon but totally fails from the moment he catches his shadow and doesn't see it to his foot. The whole interior is too dark and depressing.

I can see the reason of the remake was to simply include a few more races. But this make was as I said boring, nothing new, with random music numbers. Why wasn't this premiered and presented to a focus group and thus noted and fixed the entire problem? Who decided to make this so boring and yet be so proud of it? It's no wonder it wasn't theatre released as maybe 10 people who have never heard of Peter Pan would have seen it and the rest of the world would have asked for their money back.
