Finally, a live-action Peter Pan movie!

re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

Probably because nobody watches them? I didn't even remember Hugh Jackman made a Peter Pan movie until it was out on Netflix.

Ouch to the audience score.

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

It seems to be getting review bombed for some reason :shrug:

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

Probably because Tinkerbell is black.

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

And Peter is mixed race. And the Lost Boys have girls in them! Oh my!

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

I didn’t expect this to be good. But looks interesting

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

Yup, it's currently a 3.7 on IMDB with 47% of votes being 1/10. Probably getting review bombed for "wokeism" or some dumb shit.

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

At this point shouldn't there be a Peter Pan Vs. Robin Hood film?

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

To be fair, the professional reviews aren't all that positive either. It's barely holding on to its fresh rating.

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

Wife and I enjoyed this well enough. Quite different from the original animation, it's noted that it is based on both the book and the film. Interesting take on Peter and Hook's history, and Peter is closer to the book portrayal as well. Not sure what all the "woke" baby criers are up in arms about, including girls in the lost boys didn't change anything.

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

That's actually a really, really good idea. :lol:

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

Wasn't there a line in the book about how Lost Boys are all babies who fell from their prams and that girls are too smart for that to happen to them, hence no Lost Girls?

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

Still doesn't change anything about the movie, they even address it right off the bat, lol.

Re: Disney's Peter Pan & Wendy (2023, D: David Lowery)
 

Not the movie, perhaps, but it loses the subtext of the book. Boys, especially Peter, represent immaturity. Yes, he goes on adventures with pirates and saves native American princesses. But as fun as all that seems, it's still presented as the stuff of immature, irresponsible children. Girls, particularly Wendy, represent maturity. That's why all the Lost Boys in the book were, well, boys. That's why Wendy only goes to Neverland to keep an eye on her brothers, why she takes a romantic interest in Peter that he in his perpetual childlike state does not reciprocate, and why it's Wendy who takes her brothers and all the Lost Boys home.

Now, there is a representation of childish, girlish immaturity personified in Tinker Bell, but she dies because fairies (or immaturity in girls like Wendy) are short lived. She's also forgotten by Peter shortly after her death.
