(6-Good Film)
Nostalgic. Wondrous. Bumpy.
Peter Pan (Williams), all grown up and living in America, neglects his children and makes his living as an unscrupulous lawyer. On a visit back to London, Peter comes home to find his children missing and a note left by a Captain Hook. Soon Peter returns to Neverland and tries to remember his time as the remarkable flying boy. Severely flawed, Hook’s story often feels half-baked. Nostalgia, some better moments occasionally, are enough to make the film passable, plus Williams and Hoffman are great, but this is a pretty poor effort from Spielberg who’s usually a master of storytelling and entertainment.

This is my all time favorite version of the Peter Pan story. It feels like though it may more potential for greater creativity and spectacle than we actually got in the film, but I love it all the same.

Definitely. I love it because of nostalgia, but I felt they missed an opportunity to bring in some sadder elements like the idea of outliving people you love or growing up in general.
