Honestly if we took the character relationship and story ideas of the mini series of 'Neverland' and combine it with the visuals of 'Pan' we could've had a great Peter Pan prequel.
I was about to point out the, er, "Unreasonable similarities" to Sci-Fi's "Neverland", before getting a big taste of just HOW bat**** this studio-budgeted version was.
I might be wrong but wasn't that the one where Hook wasn't a pirate he was a fencing instructor /Fagin like character? And wasn't Neverland on another planet?
I'm really glad Doug referenced Once Upon a Time's Peter Pan in this. For as many mistakes as that show made in character/plot choices, their version of Peter Pan just leaned completely into him being a cocky mischievous villain, and it was honestly a great way to go with him.
This movie has the honor of being the only movie I’ve ever fallen asleep on in the theater. Usually my dad is the one that falls asleep on movies but we both ended up taking a nap halfway through.
For me it was Dolittle. Went to it with my whole immediate family and my nieces wanted to see it. Didn't completely fall asleep but got some decent rest, the theater had really comfy seats.
The idea is OK, but the books hint at a far more disturbing and interesting idea: Peter throws out or even kills Lost Boys, whom he considers too old. How interesting would it be if Hook and the other pirates had actually been a best friend or brother at some point, but Peter forgot like he forgets everything or simply doesn't care, because he's a psycho.
@@JuMiKu that's a good idea i like. But one detail you have to remember. Peter dosen't forget thing's because he doesn't care. He forgets because it's the nature of the island. He's been there so long that now he forgets things like mad. Micheal and john barley remembered there parents by the time they came back
Since Disney is giving their villains origin movies I’ve got an interesting one for Hook. In the books Peter would actually kill the Lost Boys when started to get too old. Wendy would ask him and say “they became pirates”. Hook starts out as a Lost Boy until he starts to see that there’s something wrong with Peter. After questioning is authority, Peter tries to kill him but escapes. He fully dawns on the pirate persona with other former lost boys to combat Peter. It reveals that Peter kills the Lost Boys so he can stay young. An offering to a magical crocodile, aka: Tick Tock the Croc. And Hook tries to extend a hand to Peter hoping the could be friends but Peter pull Vader and chops it off. Offering it to Croc.
"In the books Peter would actually kill the Lost Boys when they started to get too old." I mean, the last time I've read the Peter Pan book was probably like 2013, and I don't have many recollections of it, but I sure as hell don't remember THAT.
@@Marcelelias11 your version may not have been the original. Granted I’ve never read the Peter Pan books. Just looked up bits of information on it involving the author which are quite questionable. It’s been said that only Peter was ageless and he would “thin the herd” involving the Lost Boys. Who are children that Peter would straight up kidnap. He was never a protagonist. Disney made us all see rose colors when it comes to these fairy tales.
@@renji90998 Maybe, and yeah, the version I read was darker than the Disney version (and better - Peter saying that death would be an exciting adventure after being left tied to a rock in a cave with rapidly rising water really stuck with me for all these years), but I don't remember it being *that* dark.
I remember watching this with my family and during the Nirvana sequence my dad and I just slowly turned to look at eachother without saying a word, that’s the clearest thing I remember about this movie, that look on my dad’s face.
I remember me and my dad said HWHAT????! at the same time, and then he said "come on we gotta go kid, looks like ol' Bucktooth is at it again!" Then we left in his buick slapping asses as we went.
The way Chris Stuckmann described this movie as the cheap grape cool aid version of the original Disney movie which was a quality original grape Capri sun was a perfect analogy
FYI, grape Capri Sun is mostly water and sugar, grape and pear juice concentrates, citric acid and "natural flavor". Not exactly pure grape juice. You should've went with Welch's, at least that's closer to real juice.
@@gregorymelissinos337 I'd never even heard of Capri Sun until about a year ago, then it suddenly became the go-to reference for people online. So the point of the OP was that Pan is Kool Aid and the Disney version is Capri Sun? I guess that makes sense. I was always partial to Peter Pan and the Pirates.
I honestly enjoyed jackmans’s Blackbeard cause it’s almost like he’s a senile angry old man who’s trying to stay calm but at times just slips up. I honestly find hook’s character just dull though
The whole, "I have your eyes," line in this movie sounds less like, "We have this physical trait in common," and more like, "I have your eyes...on my nightstand." :P
I remember the SyFy miniseries “Neverland” casted actual Native Americans and treated them with much more respect and dignity than most Peter Pan media. It makes me curious why this movie with a much bigger budget couldn’t cast Native American actors to portray the tribe
I agree. I much prefer the Neverland miniseries as a prequel to Peter Pan than Pan (2015). Rhys Iffans was great as James Hook, showing a mentor-student friendship between him and Peter, and slowly revealing it to be based on a false premise.
@@bellatrixm98schannel99 Me too! The actor who played Peter in that show was also great, which is surprising where he started with Golden Compass and Nutcracker 3D, but he's gone on to bigger things like Red Band Society, Salvation, and Rocketman (2019).
Now THIS should’ve been the Neverland we got in “Hook”. Lots of people (including Spielberg himself) felt its depiction was underwhelming. Had they had the capability back then, it probably would’ve turned out like this.
I have to agree. Combine the scale and overall look of Neverland from this (minus the ugly neverbirds) and mix in the script and characters from Hook, and my god that would have been an even more amazing movie.
Well, seems good they did not! Else it would have been a very confused and generic reboot that does not even know if it wanta to be a kid or a adolescent movie.
When Pan came out I was ten years old. I don’t remember anything of my first viewing in the theatre other than internally screaming”THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR STORY!” after that line of Hook and Pan always being friends.
Malcolm: "Captain Blackbeard, I found 'Norm of the North.' We can make a remake of this one." :::Rob grabs the DVD and tosses it in the pit::: Rob: "No! I don't care what the charts say."
Tamara: “Wait, what about *Picks up The Last Unicorn book* The Last Unicorn? Surely it deserves a live action remake” Malcolm: “Is that the unfinished draft, or the finished book?” Tamara: “…The..first one?” Malcolm: “Noo” Doug: “Doh!” Malcolm: “Don’t be next to me holding that” Doug: “Are you serious?” Tamara: “But it’s got some good ideas” Doug: “Yea but it’s incomplete. We gotta use work that’s completely whole” Malcolm: “Even if it sucks” Doug: “Especially if it sucks, now keep mining!”
I feel like this could be a cool idea for series. Imagine a story were the stars are islands and space is an ocean. Fairies are the inhabitants of these islands that either kidnapped people and stranded them on islands or either told them how to make it to the sky ocean
“With moments of the extraordinary dropped in” Probably the best way to describe it. A lot of the changes they made just don’t work very well, Tiger Lily being a major example. However, I think the visuals are some of the best in any Peter Pan project. Even the mining scenes which look bland or dull are still suitably epic in scale considering it’s literally showing child slavery. I also liked Jackman’s performance of Blackbeard and I especially like they didn’t make him exactly like Hook (in comparison…Hook should’ve been more like Hook with at least an anger issue or a dark streak to imply villainous things in his future). Blackbeard comes off as completely unstable, a man who can switch between emotions at the drop of the hat for almost no apparent reason. And I think that’s what the performance is meant to convey. But beyond those two things they really screwed themselves with this film. As it is people aren’t really fans of Chosen One stories anymore, but it’s so strange that they decided a Peter Pan story needed one when the entire story is already right in front of them. They could’ve even looked at any of the other spin-offs and taken ideas. The review mentions how the Robin Williams film had the Lost Boys come from different time periods and then gave them different period outfits to subtly show that. Great idea, makes perfect sense for the narrative, add more ideas like that and less like Peter being some special fairy boy. I didn’t even mind the orphanage being in league with the pirates, they just never explained why lol.
Dude this movie confused the hell out of me as a kid I fact even though this one was big flashy and had tones of special effects I still as a 9 or 10 year old would have watched hook over this any day
I remember watching Doctor Sleep, the scene with Danny Torrance talking with Lloyd the Bartender, who now resembles Jack Torrance, and his speech about his true self, the one who resented his family for eating up all his time, and how he depended on alcohol as his way of coping with that, reminded me very much of Peter Pan from Once Upon A Time, when Pan tells the truth of how he felt about his son, Rumple. "I remember looking at you, the littlest babe. Helpless and all mine. Those big, big eyes, just full of tears... pulling at me. Pulling away my name, my money, my time. Pulling away any chance I had of making my life better for myself. This pink, naked, squirming little larva, who wanted to eat up all my dreams and never stop! ...Can't I be free of you??"
what's funny is that there are a couple of books about peter pan's origins that haven't been adapted yet. both are pretty good and would make for very good movies.
Kinda hard though to have an origin of something that was written as a stage play in 1904 then adapted into a book in 1911, oh and the author is dead.......Its kinda like having Ridley Scott write a prequel story for Alien when he had nothing to do with writing Alien....Hard to origin something when your not the original author and really don't know what the original author's intent was. You can guess but at best your writing a fan fic.
10:44- in Hook- Peter: why did you kill Rufio? Hook: because you fed my hand to the crocodile and made me British- I was a cowboy once. Everyone is confused.
Cinematic excrement: You’ve known a boy half your age all your life, you thought they would buy that? Hook: I lied! I do that sometimes it’s called being a grown up
The interesting part is that there is a prequel story of the Peter Pan story everyone knows and it's literally just the book by the same author of Peter and Wendy in Neverland, Peter Pan in Kensington Garden. it's a great read and I would definitely recommend it
I went to see this in theatres at the behest of my then-girlfriend. Not knowing it was Hugh Jackman at first, I was thoroughly convinced it was Johnny Depp playing Blackbeard
At this point, I don't even care how far away it is from the source material because it is so batshit crazy and confusing, yet so unbelievably passionate, I actually can't help but enjoy it and appreciate it. I list this under: *guilty pleasure.*
I miss him as Wolverine, though I can understand why he stepped away as you want to move on after a while And I enjoyed seeing him in the Broadway show “The Music Man”
While I never read the original book, my favorite portrayal of Pan is the one from Once Upon a Time. Its so dark and twisted and I wish more Disney live adaptations did more chancey stuff like it.
Sooo... I never gave once upon a chance after the first episode paled so much compared to the tenth kingdom, then I saw these comments out of morbid curiosity from Doug's comment... Mind changed.
In FABLES, Peter Pan was originally supposed to be The Adversary, but he wasn’t in the public domain, so they had to pivot to Geppetto instead. And since OUAT did BEGIN as an adaptation of that, it makes sense they put it back in.
There’s already a live action Peter Pan from Disney coming (I think) next year. It’s called Peter Pan & Wendy. It’ll be directed by David Lowery, who directed the Pete’s Dragon remake (among a few other films that I don’t remember).
@@EmilynWood Honestly, knowing the Live Action Disney remakes, it’s probably going to suck. The only live action Disney remake I honestly have ANY faith in is Pinocchio. And that’s because the remake will be directed by Robert Zemeckis and will star Tom Hanks, who both together, ALWAYS knock it out of the park with the films they make together.
@@ZemeckisTEN There's also the Guillermo del Toro version of Pinnochio coming out--I just saw a teaser trailer for it and am curious how it will turn out. The Pete's Dragon reboot was actually pretty good (though I didn't grow up with the original film), so if it's as good as that, having the same person behind it, I have hope for it. And I really liked the Disney Cinderella remake, though I know what you mean. Lots of the reboots haven't been good the last several years.
I saw the trailer for this movie in a theater. When it showed off the title, my mind immediately went to you screaming it the same way you screamed "HAM!" in your Ponyo review.
I'm sure you already knew it but "The Lost Boys" started as a gritty reimagining of Peter Pan. It replaces neverland with Vampirism and alters a lot of the origional story elements like the lost boys and pirates being essnetially one and the same, but kept a lot of the core concepts despite being so different. I can't imagine it went too much more off-model than "Pan" and at least had better reasons for WHY they did.
The Legend of Zelda also was inspired by Peter Pan. I don't feel you could call that one a reimagining and I doubt we'll get a feature length movie anytime soon though..the "excuse me princess!" cartoon DID have more callbacks to the origional source material that inspired it though, such as the Sprite character being a lot more like Tinkerbell than the game fairies typically were. Most people choose to insist that one doesn't exist though so..lol Peter Pan has clearly had its influence on more modern, popular media.
Schumacher felt that the original script was too much like the Goonies which had come out two years prior to when Lost Boys was released. So instead he kept the vampire element but changed the setting around until we got what we have now.
Honestly the one part of this movie that can even remotely classify it as a prequel is the opening monologue. "Many enemies begin as friends." They could be referring to Hook being Peter's ally at first. I honestly don't know if they even had that thought.
Also, I was constantly expecting Hook to betray Pan after Blackbeard's death and take control of the ship, but that never happened. Why are my ideas often more interesting than what the movies actually have?
You know, a few years ago, the SyFy channel made a miniseries called Neverland. it was a pseudo sci-fi/fantasy prequel story for Peter Pan. and it's still a much better story than this
I'm glad that you're feeling much better to do a review like this Doug and thank you for reviewing the prequel to Peter Pan as well I haven't seen it definitely not a great one as I remember
When I saw the trailer to this as a kid, I thought part of the finale would include Peter somehow betraying Hook’s trust, resulting in him losing his hand. I was expecting for it to be some sort of somber farewell between allies, but no it’s just dumb
Dude I was just watching this film last week and said that Doug should do a review of it. As odd as this movie is, the soundtrack is an absolute banger in my opinion. Also, my theory was that they kidnapped Kurt Cobain as one of the children slaves, and he took the song home with him Stupid, but neat.
Random fact: Rooney Mara regretted playing the Native American character Tiger Lily. It is possible for the tribe to be played positively, though could’ve been better if they didn’t whitewash the tribe
We went on a field trip from school when took a stop at the movie theater for the evening. Everybody wanted to see The Hunger Games. Everybody. But our teachers said "Nah, let's go into Pan" I guess we were the only 30 people to see this in Theaters
Eh The hunger games were a shitty series anyway Terrible nonsensical world building, trite excuses for social commentary, pointless love triangles, and the fact that it’s release ruined the genre of dystopian novels by encouraging a bunch of sad 30 something women to release the heir own crappy young adult dystopias with as much variation between them as hallmark movies, and as much intellect and insight as a fifth grader’s essay on an actually decent dystopian novel
This was probably the first movie that I was underwhelmed by. I went to see this in theaters in like fifth grade because at the time our class was reading Peter and the Star Catchers and we went as a class field trip. Even as a young kid who liked cars 2 I remember thinking “this didn’t explain a lot about his backstory at all”
8:15: This movie makes literally no sense. The story takes place during World War 2 in the 1940s. How are they singing a song that won’t be written for another 50 years?! How are they singing a song written by people who haven’t even been born yet?!!!
Okay, I'll admit, so when I saw this in theaters I was in a state of shock when nirvana came on. But in the years since I've found myself jamming to the Pan cover and blasting it from my car on the highway. Epic stuff
Tiger Lily 1953: Young girl around Wendy's age. She gets abducted by Captain Hook and is threatened with death if she doesn't tell him where Pan is hiding. Tiger Lily 2015: Young woman in her 20s. Has a romantic interest in Hook. . . . I was SO confused the first time I saw this movie 😂 Like, how tf is this supposed to be a prequel to Peter Pan!? Is time and multi-versal travel possible in Neverland? That's the only way it could be possible for Tiger Lily to be an adult in the present and a child in the future
This Pan movie was so bad, that it makes Hook look like Disney’s masterpiece Peter Pan, even though Hook was originally supposed to be a Disney movie when Spielberg rejected Disney’s demand.
Jackman gave a good performance and his singing was fine, but I just saw him as miscast. He just didn’t fit the role IMO Granted, not nearly as miscast as Rooney Mara playing a whitewashed Tiger Lily Mara herself has since said she regretted taking the role
I'm guessing the reason why Hook isn't evil yet It's because they were setting it up for a sequel or trilogy where he would gradually become the pirate Captain Hook and Peter's Arch nemesis But because of poor Box office sales and negative reviews from audiences and critics it'll never happen
There's a theory that he'd never turn evil. It's just that Blackbeard would come back, kill him, steal his name all for the purpose of tormenting Peter.
Hook could easily be portrayed as a more sympathetic character without changing him at all. Imagine being a privateer captain and getting lost. You find yourself in a strange land, where a native tribe and a bunch of lost CHILDREN kill your scouting parties any time you send them out. Honestly kidnapping the chief's daughter is one of the least violent ways to solve that problem historically.
To be honest he got around to it earlier than I expected. (With the David Lowery version on the horizon it was only a question of « when » rather than « if »
I just want people to know I had a friend in school who knew people that work for the movie industry. In late 2011 early 2012 she told me “ hey did you hear that Hollywood is running out of ideas and they are going to be making reboots”. I don’t believe her at first but now 10 years later she was right. It’s the fact that things like this are planned out so years ago Hollywood made an decision to rehash classics and make money off nostalgia and it really makes me feel a certain way 🙄
Fun fact about the pirates singing: the film crew/director wanted them singing but nothing they could come up with really captured what they wanted. As a joke they had them singing Nirvana, thought it made no sense and was funny and decided "let's make that the official cut"
I been a Nostalgic Critic fan for several years and I always loved the Nostalgic Critic theme/opening because not only does that gets me so hyped/excited for what Nostalgic Critic/Doug is going to review, but it’s also very catchy and sums up the whole Nostalgic Critic show perfectly.
@@ChannelAwesome next suggestions: Addams Family 2019 with Lucy Loud jokes RV with Robin Williams The Loud House Movie Arctic Dogs Doogal Mine, yours and ours
I remember when this movie came out there was this store that had an advertising display for it. My dad and I happened to be there the night they were getting rid of the display and they asked us if we wanted any of it. I liked the cardboard box with the title on it so we took that. We found my mom in another store in the mall and she made us go back for the cardboard cutout of Hugh Jackman. Cardboard Jackman got bent up or something but I think we still have the title box somewhere.
17:54 The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia reference got me laughing. XD 22:08 God, even Billy Zane at his hammiest isn’t enough compared to that guy’s reactions. XD I’m happy to hear you’re feeling better, Doug. 😊 Great review as always. 😊
This movie is proof that Hugh Jackman dressed as a pirate can do a better job singing Smells Like Teen Spirit than whoever they got to do it for Black Widow.
Looks like a movie for the High School Musical crowd. I think the 70s were the last time musicals didn't suck. Now they're just cheesy fluff that make Elvis musicals look like Oscar winners.
OK I'm more forgivingof the random Nirvana moment in this specifically because in a different Peter Pan prequel story (Peter and the Starcatcher, it's a play and it's INCREDIBLY good), Black Stache (who eventually becomes Hook) makes a random Vine reference. No I am not joking. And yes it is actually funny in the scene
“GOOD MORNING, NEVERHAD!!!” “Uh, DON’T You Mean ‘Neverland’ ?” “Does It SOUND Like Something You Would Recognize?!” “ I ‘Guess’.” “Then That Means You Are PROBABLY check it out!” “So WHICH Is It?” “I DON’T Care Anymore.” “Alright.” Nice Movie Refernce In Your Opening, ‘Captain Hatbeard ’ - OR Should I SAY....: DOUG WALKER A.K.A. NOSTALGIA CRITIC!!
@@motor4X4kombat No. Listen to Brendon Urie sing Greatest Show and you will see how Jackman just isn't a very good singer. His voice is way too flat and his vibrato too forced.
I think I’ll check this out. It looks cool and there’s some unique designs. I’m sure the character changes will annoy me but it seems worth watching once.
Honestly, why make peter pan look like a saint, we all know hes not, sure he helps people alot, but a majority of the time peter is mischevous teen who cares more about playing pranks, causing trouble, and messing with captain hook than really thinking about the greater good
Glad you finally did this one. This movie seems terrible but the production design seems top notch. If I ever get to do a remake of Aladdin I’ll make sure to have them sing genie in a bottle
You do get that this movie is meant to be a prequel to the 1911 book right? Its not meant to have anything to do with the Disney movie, which itself took alot of liberties and changed things. Like the 2nd star to the right and straight on til morning is not a line from the original book. While this isn't a very good movie, people really need to get the notion out of their head that Peter Pan didn't exist until Disney stole it and Disneyized it.
Some voice actor would play the main villain from Disney Junior's Jake and the Never Land Pirates if Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates had Tim Curry as Captain Hook.
Why would some actress portraying Tinkerbell from the Disney Plus original movie Peter Pan & Wendy never say a word like in the classic animated version of Peter Pan? Even Ludivine Sagnier, who plays her, would never speak.
What did everyone think of Pan?

That’s a great origin of Peter Pan.
Can you please review Escape from Cluster Prime, Escape from Tomorrow and The Ultimate Enemy?
Honestly if we took the character relationship and story ideas of the mini series of 'Neverland' and combine it with the visuals of 'Pan' we could've had a great Peter Pan prequel.
Its visuals are its biggest enemy though. It is possible to go too busy. There is a reason why even MCU movies use a lot of grounded visuals.
I was about to point out the, er, "Unreasonable similarities" to Sci-Fi's "Neverland", before getting a big taste of just HOW bat**** this studio-budgeted version was.
Neverland was great though. I love Mini Series-s?

I might be wrong but wasn't that the one where Hook wasn't a pirate he was a fencing instructor /Fagin like character? And wasn't Neverland on another planet?
Peter: we always be friends hook aren’t we?
Hook: always, what could possibly go wrong?

@@chayacarney5873 Jurrasic World was a better movie than this.
Solo
Tbh I like the idea of Hook starting off as Peter’s ally
Though it was kinda weird seeing him act like Han Solo
Personally I would’ve made Hook be Blackbeard’s put upon British chart guy who has to keep watch and jot down how much is being found in the mines
Agreed!!!
Real peter pan: "Wanna hear about the time i cut off hooks hand and threw it to the crocodile".
Me: that's what I've been waiting for .

"So that's it, we some kinda... lost boys?"

Ah yes…another movie that I COMPLETELY forgot existed
Another Movie that I didn't even know existed.
Remember: The Nostalgia Critic remembers it so we don't have to!
Yeah. I also forgot about this movie.
The _only_ reason _I_ knew this existed was because The Black Critic Guy did a review/rant on it.
I saw an Ad for this movie on a bus bench, the year it came out. Then I fully forgot about it until Critic made his video.
Since Disney is giving their villains origin movies I’ve got an interesting one for Hook. In the books Peter would actually kill the Lost Boys when started to get too old. Wendy would ask him and say “they became pirates”. Hook starts out as a Lost Boy until he starts to see that there’s something wrong with Peter. After questioning is authority, Peter tries to kill him but escapes. He fully dawns on the pirate persona with other former lost boys to combat Peter. It reveals that Peter kills the Lost Boys so he can stay young. An offering to a magical crocodile, aka: Tick Tock the Croc. And Hook tries to extend a hand to Peter hoping the could be friends but Peter pull Vader and chops it off. Offering it to Croc.
Disney, give this man a job
"In the books Peter would actually kill the Lost Boys when they started to get too old."

I was always partial to Peter Pan and the Pirates.
I honestly enjoyed jackmans’s Blackbeard cause it’s almost like he’s a senile angry old man who’s trying to stay calm but at times just slips up. I honestly find hook’s character just dull though
The only reason I don’t consider him the worst rendition of Hook is because Christopher walken took care of that ^^
In a lot of ways, Jackman’s Blackbeard is _more_ like Captain Hook than the _real Captain Hook._
The whole, "I have your eyes," line in this movie sounds less like, "We have this physical trait in common," and more like, "I have your eyes...on my nightstand." :P
I remember the SyFy miniseries “Neverland” casted actual Native Americans and treated them with much more respect and dignity than most Peter Pan media. It makes me curious why this movie with a much bigger budget couldn’t cast Native American actors to portray the tribe
I agree. I much prefer the Neverland miniseries as a prequel to Peter Pan than Pan (2015). Rhys Iffans was great as James Hook, showing a mentor-student friendship between him and Peter, and slowly revealing it to be based on a false premise.
I'm gonna say sadly Hollywood and being lazy
This mini series is amazing! I used to watch it on repeat! Wish it came a real show!
@@bellatrixm98schannel99 Me too! The actor who played Peter in that show was also great, which is surprising where he started with Golden Compass and Nutcracker 3D, but he's gone on to bigger things like Red Band Society, Salvation, and Rocketman (2019).
that movie sucked 21:50
Now THIS should’ve been the Neverland we got in “Hook”. Lots of people (including Spielberg himself) felt its depiction was underwhelming. Had they had the capability back then, it probably would’ve turned out like this.
I have to agree. Combine the scale and overall look of Neverland from this (minus the ugly neverbirds) and mix in the script and characters from Hook, and my god that would have been an even more amazing movie.
Well, seems good they did not!
Else it would have been a very confused and generic reboot that does not even know if it wanta to be a kid or a adolescent movie.
@@OliverTCrowe the Hook script would need a rewrite too, it does too much wrong
@@thefreakmachine I'm referring to the movie's aesthetics, not the story.
@@geoffreyrichards6079 I know, that's exactly what I'm pointing to: focus, more on the story and less on the aestethics.
When Pan came out I was ten years old. I don’t remember anything of my first viewing in the theatre other than internally screaming”THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOUR STORY!” after that line of Hook and Pan always being friends.
In case you forgot… Cara Delevingne played ALL of the voiceless mermaids (with the “jellyfish tails”) in the film.
Which is not a good thing. She looks too much like a dude.

“With moments of the extraordinary dropped in”
Probably the best way to describe it. A lot of the changes they made just don’t work very well, Tiger Lily being a major example. However, I think the visuals are some of the best in any Peter Pan project. Even the mining scenes which look bland or dull are still suitably epic in scale considering it’s literally showing child slavery. I also liked Jackman’s performance of Blackbeard and I especially like they didn’t make him exactly like Hook (in comparison…Hook should’ve been more like Hook with at least an anger issue or a dark streak to imply villainous things in his future). Blackbeard comes off as completely unstable, a man who can switch between emotions at the drop of the hat for almost no apparent reason. And I think that’s what the performance is meant to convey.
But beyond those two things they really screwed themselves with this film. As it is people aren’t really fans of Chosen One stories anymore, but it’s so strange that they decided a Peter Pan story needed one when the entire story is already right in front of them. They could’ve even looked at any of the other spin-offs and taken ideas. The review mentions how the Robin Williams film had the Lost Boys come from different time periods and then gave them different period outfits to subtly show that. Great idea, makes perfect sense for the narrative, add more ideas like that and less like Peter being some special fairy boy. I didn’t even mind the orphanage being in league with the pirates, they just never explained why lol.
for anyone that thinks the idea of a peter pan origin story has potential, the British miniseries "neverland" is not half bad
It's in fact great! Also, that was the first actual time Rhys Ifans played a one-handed villain who fights a hero named Peter.
Love it. I watch that one every Christmas cuz it's just so good.
Agree, it's certainly better than this movie. It even makes Hook and Pan enemies!!
@@RoseBaggins That should be a given, but considering Pan...
Must resist Michael Jackson joke.
You had me chanting "ThE GrEaTeR GoOd" at the exact moment you played the clip! Perfection.
Dude this movie confused the hell out of me as a kid
I fact even though this one was big flashy and had tones of special effects I still as a 9 or 10 year old would have watched hook over this any day
Was expecting this film to be discussed by the Critic but that Peter Pan remake in 2003 deserves a full review.
Hard agree!!!
I actually kinda like that version. I admitly haven't seen it since I was a kid
The music is awesome in that. Plus, Jason Isaacs saying “I do believe in fairies. I do, I do.”
@@jbcatz5 It was nice seeing him do the dual role of Hook and Mr Darling, with Mr Darling being such a quiet nervous man.
@@ShadowSonic2 It certainly makes Hook’s behaviour towards Wendy creepier since he resembles her father.
In OUAT, Pan was a cult leader and convinced a eleven year old to rip out his own heart. That’s probably my favorite version
Same he was my fav villain of that show
Pan is fucking terrifying in that show
Is it weird that this version is closer to the original peter pan who murdered the lost boys when they aged out of their teens
Mine too i love that version of Peter Pan Somalian Pirate edition
I remember watching Doctor Sleep, the scene with Danny Torrance talking with Lloyd the Bartender, who now resembles Jack Torrance, and his speech about his true self, the one who resented his family for eating up all his time, and how he depended on alcohol as his way of coping with that, reminded me very much of Peter Pan from Once Upon A Time, when Pan tells the truth of how he felt about his son, Rumple.
"I remember looking at you, the littlest babe. Helpless and all mine. Those big, big eyes, just full of tears... pulling at me. Pulling away my name, my money, my time. Pulling away any chance I had of making my life better for myself. This pink, naked, squirming little larva, who wanted to eat up all my dreams and never stop! ...Can't I be free of you??"
what's funny is that there are a couple of books about peter pan's origins that haven't been adapted yet. both are pretty good and would make for very good movies.
Kinda hard though to have an origin of something that was written as a stage play in 1904 then adapted into a book in 1911, oh and the author is dead.......Its kinda like having Ridley Scott write a prequel story for Alien when he had nothing to do with writing Alien....Hard to origin something when your not the original author and really don't know what the original author's intent was. You can guess but at best your writing a fan fic.
You talking about Peter pan and the star catchers?
@@andrewcook2625 yep
@@andrewcook2625 I loved those books.

The interesting part is that there is a prequel story of the Peter Pan story everyone knows and it's literally just the book by the same author of Peter and Wendy in Neverland, Peter Pan in Kensington Garden. it's a great read and I would definitely recommend it
I went to see this in theatres at the behest of my then-girlfriend. Not knowing it was Hugh Jackman at first, I was thoroughly convinced it was Johnny Depp playing Blackbeard
At this point, I don't even care how far away it is from the source material because it is so batshit crazy and confusing, yet so unbelievably passionate, I actually can't help but enjoy it and appreciate it.
I list this under: *guilty pleasure.*

The “It’s always sunny in Philadelphia” joke caught me off guard so much, it made me burst out with laughter, great episode as always guys!
While I never read the original book, my favorite portrayal of Pan is the one from Once Upon a Time. Its so dark and twisted and I wish more Disney live adaptations did more chancey stuff like it.
It wasn't a book, it was a theatre play before anything else.
@@22espec Yes it started as a stage play in 1904 and then J.M Barrie turned it into a book 8 years later when it was published in 1911
Sooo... I never gave once upon a chance after the first episode paled so much compared to the tenth kingdom, then I saw these comments out of morbid curiosity from Doug's comment... Mind changed.
@@barbarabaker1457 The 10th Kingdom is still way better.
In FABLES, Peter Pan was originally supposed to be The Adversary, but he wasn’t in the public domain, so they had to pivot to Geppetto instead. And since OUAT did BEGIN as an adaptation of that, it makes sense they put it back in.
I'd love it if Doug reviewed the 2003 Peter Pan movie. Starring Jason Isaacs, Jeremy Sumpter & Rachael Hurd-Wood.
What I came here to post
How about an Old vs. New between that and the Disney version?
@@Alejandroigarabide ABSOLUTLEY!
Jason Issacs kills as Hook, I swear he can do no wrong.
@@ninjabluefyre3815 My Favourite actor to have played Hook.
This is why I'll stick to the 2003 version. It was surprisingly good.
With all the Peter Pan reimagining, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a Disney Plus series about it. As always, great episode, keep up the fantastic!!
give it time either a disneyplus series or liveaction movie
There’s already a live action Peter Pan from Disney coming (I think) next year. It’s called Peter Pan & Wendy. It’ll be directed by David Lowery, who directed the Pete’s Dragon remake (among a few other films that I don’t remember).
@@ZemeckisTEN I'm praying hard that it will be good. The original book was called Peter Pan and Wendy before it was shortened to Peter Pan.
@@EmilynWood Honestly, knowing the Live Action Disney remakes, it’s probably going to suck. The only live action Disney remake I honestly have ANY faith in is Pinocchio. And that’s because the remake will be directed by Robert Zemeckis and will star Tom Hanks, who both together, ALWAYS knock it out of the park with the films they make together.
@@ZemeckisTEN There's also the Guillermo del Toro version of Pinnochio coming out--I just saw a teaser trailer for it and am curious how it will turn out.
The Pete's Dragon reboot was actually pretty good (though I didn't grow up with the original film), so if it's as good as that, having the same person behind it, I have hope for it. And I really liked the Disney Cinderella remake, though I know what you mean. Lots of the reboots haven't been good the last several years.
10:19 Wow, the Mushroom World that Dr. Robotnik landed in is a lot trippier than I thought it would be. Or, are those just the mushrooms?
I saw the trailer for this movie in a theater. When it showed off the title, my mind immediately went to you screaming it the same way you screamed "HAM!" in your Ponyo review.
Director: “Hey have you seen Pirates of the Carribean?”
Jackman: “Yes, Johnny depp was great in it.”
Director: “Great, we want you to do that.”
I'm sure you already knew it but "The Lost Boys" started as a gritty reimagining of Peter Pan. It replaces neverland with Vampirism and alters a lot of the origional story elements like the lost boys and pirates being essnetially one and the same, but kept a lot of the core concepts despite being so different. I can't imagine it went too much more off-model than "Pan" and at least had better reasons for WHY they did.
The one starring Kiefer Sutherland, and filmed on location in Santa Cruz, CA?
@@louisduarte8763 Yep.
The Legend of Zelda also was inspired by Peter Pan. I don't feel you could call that one a reimagining and I doubt we'll get a feature length movie anytime soon though..the "excuse me princess!" cartoon DID have more callbacks to the origional source material that inspired it though, such as the Sprite character being a lot more like Tinkerbell than the game fairies typically were. Most people choose to insist that one doesn't exist though so..lol Peter Pan has clearly had its influence on more modern, popular media.
Schumacher felt that the original script was too much like the Goonies which had come out two years prior to when Lost Boys was released. So instead he kept the vampire element but changed the setting around until we got what we have now.
Honestly the one part of this movie that can even remotely classify it as a prequel is the opening monologue. "Many enemies begin as friends." They could be referring to Hook being Peter's ally at first. I honestly don't know if they even had that thought.
It's Wednesday night. And you know what that means?! Flying off to Neverland with Captain Critic and the Lost Awesomes.
Make sure to buckle up for this craziness
Also, I was constantly expecting Hook to betray Pan after Blackbeard's death and take control of the ship, but that never happened. Why are my ideas often more interesting than what the movies actually have?
I see Peter Pan is still recovering from the soda can machine that fell on him.
What is that a reference to?
You know, a few years ago, the SyFy channel made a miniseries called Neverland. it was a pseudo sci-fi/fantasy prequel story for Peter Pan. and it's still a much better story than this
I'm glad that you're feeling much better to do a review like this Doug and thank you for reviewing the prequel to Peter Pan as well I haven't seen it definitely not a great one as I remember
When I saw the trailer to this as a kid, I thought part of the finale would include Peter somehow betraying Hook’s trust, resulting in him losing his hand. I was expecting for it to be some sort of somber farewell between allies, but no it’s just dumb
Dude I was just watching this film last week and said that Doug should do a review of it. As odd as this movie is, the soundtrack is an absolute banger in my opinion.
Also, my theory was that they kidnapped Kurt Cobain as one of the children slaves, and he took the song home with him Stupid, but neat.
Random fact: Rooney Mara regretted playing the Native American character Tiger Lily. It is possible for the tribe to be played positively, though could’ve been better if they didn’t whitewash the tribe
We went on a field trip from school when took a stop at the movie theater for the evening. Everybody wanted to see The Hunger Games. Everybody.
But our teachers said "Nah, let's go into Pan"
I guess we were the only 30 people to see this in Theaters
Was your teacher Principal Skinner by chance?
Your teachers probably got fired on the bus ride back.
Seriously 😐…
Eh
The hunger games were a shitty series anyway
Terrible nonsensical world building, trite excuses for social commentary, pointless love triangles, and the fact that it’s release ruined the genre of dystopian novels by encouraging a bunch of sad 30 something women to release the heir own crappy young adult dystopias with as much variation between them as hallmark movies, and as much intellect and insight as a fifth grader’s essay on an actually decent dystopian novel
@@flamingpi2245 very Ravenclaw response lol 😆
This was probably the first movie that I was underwhelmed by. I went to see this in theaters in like fifth grade because at the time our class was reading Peter and the Star Catchers and we went as a class field trip. Even as a young kid who liked cars 2 I remember thinking “this didn’t explain a lot about his backstory at all”
8:15: This movie makes literally no sense. The story takes place during World War 2 in the 1940s. How are they singing a song that won’t be written for another 50 years?! How are they singing a song written by people who haven’t even been born yet?!!!
What if that's how the song was written in that universe Neverland inspiring the song writer
@@matthewfredericks25 Your point?😒
This movie is a total mess. I'm glad I didn't see this.
How much do you want to bet that Hugh Jackman had multiple times a day when he said to himself, "GOD! I miss playing Wolverine!" 😂😂
IF that was the case, it would explain why he decided to come back.
Okay, I'll admit, so when I saw this in theaters I was in a state of shock when nirvana came on.
But in the years since I've found myself jamming to the Pan cover and blasting it from my car on the highway. Epic stuff
You need better taste. 😛
@@englishatheart 😜
The Muppets cover was much better. At least it didn't make go. "What the Hell!".
Tiger Lily 1953: Young girl around Wendy's age. She gets abducted by Captain Hook and is threatened with death if she doesn't tell him where Pan is hiding.
Tiger Lily 2015: Young woman in her 20s. Has a romantic interest in Hook. . . .
I was SO confused the first time I saw this movie 😂 Like, how tf is this supposed to be a prequel to Peter Pan!? Is time and multi-versal travel possible in Neverland? That's the only way it could be possible for Tiger Lily to be an adult in the present and a child in the future
This Pan movie was so bad, that it makes Hook look like Disney’s masterpiece Peter Pan, even though Hook was originally supposed to be a Disney movie when Spielberg rejected Disney’s demand.
Hooks pretty good
@@etangbose4755 Hook is a good movie, it just critics ripped on Hook and it’s mostly Spielberg’s fault for his treatment of Hook.
Captain Blackbeard was such an entertaining character😂. He's basically the only thing I remember about this movie
Jackman gave a good performance and his singing was fine, but I just saw him as miscast. He just didn’t fit the role IMO
Granted, not nearly as miscast as Rooney Mara playing a whitewashed Tiger Lily
Mara herself has since said she regretted taking the role
I'm guessing the reason why Hook isn't evil yet It's because they were setting it up for a sequel or trilogy where he would gradually become the pirate Captain Hook and Peter's Arch nemesis
But because of poor Box office sales and negative reviews from audiences and critics it'll never happen
Yeah it would have been a better ending to turn Hook evil at the end.
There's a theory that he'd never turn evil. It's just that Blackbeard would come back, kill him, steal his name all for the purpose of tormenting Peter.
@@ShadowSonic2 Either way it's never gonna happen
Hook could easily be portrayed as a more sympathetic character without changing him at all. Imagine being a privateer captain and getting lost. You find yourself in a strange land, where a native tribe and a bunch of lost CHILDREN kill your scouting parties any time you send them out. Honestly kidnapping the chief's daughter is one of the least violent ways to solve that problem historically.
Thank you. No one talks about this movie, thank god someone is finally saying something about it
To be honest he got around to it earlier than I expected.
(With the David Lowery version on the horizon it was only a question of « when » rather than « if »
I just want people to know I had a friend in school who knew people that work for the movie industry. In late 2011 early 2012 she told me “ hey did you hear that Hollywood is running out of ideas and they are going to be making reboots”. I don’t believe her at first but now 10 years later she was right. It’s the fact that things like this are planned out so years ago Hollywood made an decision to rehash classics and make money off nostalgia and it really makes me feel a certain way 🙄
Fun fact about the pirates singing: the film crew/director wanted them singing but nothing they could come up with really captured what they wanted. As a joke they had them singing Nirvana, thought it made no sense and was funny and decided "let's make that the official cut"
THAT’S AMAZING!!!! 😂😆🤣😂😆🤣
Once Upon A Time’s Peter Pan is my favorite interpretation of the character

I remember when this movie came out there was this store that had an advertising display for it. My dad and I happened to be there the night they were getting rid of the display and they asked us if we wanted any of it. I liked the cardboard box with the title on it so we took that. We found my mom in another store in the mall and she made us go back for the cardboard cutout of Hugh Jackman. Cardboard Jackman got bent up or something but I think we still have the title box somewhere.

I’m happy to hear you’re feeling better, Doug. 😊 Great review as always. 😊
This movie is proof that Hugh Jackman dressed as a pirate can do a better job singing Smells Like Teen Spirit than whoever they got to do it for Black Widow.
That scene in Black Widow was awesome.
Disagree
But neither of them do as good a job as Weird Al. Or Rowlf the Dog, Sam Eagle, Link Hogthrob and Beaker.
No wonder they got him for Greatest Showman. THAT SCENE WAS AWESOME.
I love the idea that Blackbeard isn't defeated by being impaled, he's defeated by crashing the ship and instantly boring him into a catatonic state.
Looks like a movie for the High School Musical crowd. I think the 70s were the last time musicals didn't suck. Now they're just cheesy fluff that make Elvis musicals look like Oscar winners.
OK I'm more forgivingof the random Nirvana moment in this specifically because in a different Peter Pan prequel story (Peter and the Starcatcher, it's a play and it's INCREDIBLY good), Black Stache (who eventually becomes Hook) makes a random Vine reference. No I am not joking. And yes it is actually funny in the scene

I think I’ll check this out. It looks cool and there’s some unique designs. I’m sure the character changes will annoy me but it seems worth watching once.
Honestly, why make peter pan look like a saint, we all know hes not, sure he helps people alot, but a majority of the time peter is mischevous teen who cares more about playing pranks, causing trouble, and messing with captain hook than really thinking about the greater good
Glad you finally did this one. This movie seems terrible but the production design seems top notch.
If I ever get to do a remake of Aladdin I’ll make sure to have them sing genie in a bottle
You do get that this movie is meant to be a prequel to the 1911 book right? Its not meant to have anything to do with the Disney movie, which itself took alot of liberties and changed things. Like the 2nd star to the right and straight on til morning is not a line from the original book.
While this isn't a very good movie, people really need to get the notion out of their head that Peter Pan didn't exist until Disney stole it and Disneyized it.
You would have to rub the genie the right way.
Some voice actor would play the main villain from Disney Junior's Jake and the Never Land Pirates if Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates had Tim Curry as Captain Hook.
Why would some actress portraying Tinkerbell from the Disney Plus original movie Peter Pan & Wendy never say a word like in the classic animated version of Peter Pan? Even Ludivine Sagnier, who plays her, would never speak.
“You’ll never find your mother. Do you know why?… Because I killed her.”
