Neverland (Peter Pan prequel) on Syfy Dec 4 & 5

Anyone going to check it out? Looks interesting. I liked Tin Man (2007) but haven't seen Alice (2009).
Raised on the streets of turn-of-the century London, orphaned Peter and his pals survive by their fearless wits as cunning young pickpockets. Now, they've been rounded up by their mentor Jimmy Hook to snatch a priceless, some believe, magical treasure which transports them to another world. Neverland is a realm of white jungles and legendary mysteries of eternal youth, where unknown friends and enemies snatched from time welcome the new travelers with both excitement and trepidation. These groups include a band of 18th century pirates led by the power-mad Elizabeth Bonny, and the Native American Kaw tribe led by a Holy Man, which has protected the secret of the tree spirits from Bonny and her gang for ages, and that has meant war. But as the fight to save this strange and beautiful world becomes vital, Hook, Peter, and the ragamuffin lost boys consider that growing old somewhere in time could be less important than growing up, right here in their new home called Neverland.

Anyone here watch the first half? So far, I found it better than both Tin Man and Alice. At least this one isn't trying to reinvent the wheel, just attempting to create a straight prequel to the story.

It seems like Anna Friel was trying to channel Geoffrey Rush. Made me think they should cast her as Barbossa's daughter in the next PotC flick.

Def agree on the Anna comment. She could have a sword fight with Blackbeard's daughter.

Part 2 was better. Overall, it was decent, but I liked Tin Man better.

I'm waiting to watch this until my girls are back from their mom's house. We'll start it up on Friday or sometime next week. Glad to hear it's getting positive feedback.

Tin Man was like Citizen Kane compared to this dreck. Probably the worst mini-series that SyFy has done in a number of years. The special effects for the fairies looked awful. It couldn't have been more obvious that a coat of cheap silver paint had been applied to their face and bodies.
