Pans intriguing ideas are overshadowed by its disgraceful decision to whitewash Indians. Some of its plot points were also kinda predictable.

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit in a Peter Pan movie? What the f**k!.

The story is about a young orphan boy finds himself taken to the magical world known as Neverland. Trouble and adventure await the boy - a boy who will one day become the one and only Peter Pan.

So I've just seen Pan a few days ago and I was quite shocked of how bad this film was. This might be the most disappointing movie of the year for me, because Pan was my most anticipated movie of 2015... and it fails to live up to my exceptions.

Levi Miller did a decent job playing Peter Pan in the movie, I mean he's really trying here and I can see that from him. This is he's first big motion picture film and it really dose show. He didn't do a terrible performance like most kid actors, he did alright for what he had to work with.

Now Rooney Mara is a great actress and she has shown us that she has talent, but here I felt like she was really miscast. I never brought her as this character and I found it kinda strange that she cast as this character in the first place.

Garrett Hedlund as Captain Hook dose what I call a "teeth talking performance", and what I mean is that he shows his teeth a lot to deliver dialogue. Oh and he also sounds like Jack Nicholson mix with Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood, it get's freaking annoying after awhile.

Hugh Jackman as the villain was really over the top and really cartoonist. Jackman is so much better than this.

The movie lacks on character development, the story isn't interesting, the movie felt rushed at times and the cgi in this movie looks unfinished. Seriously, the effect's in the movie look so fake and very noticeable that it's Fant4stic level bad when it comes to visual effect's.

Overall Pan was a giant mess of a film. Hook (1991 film) was way better than this movie. I wanted to like this movie but I couldn't bring myself to say that this is a "good movie", because it's not. As a person who grew up on Peter Pan I couldn't stand this movie.… Expand

I absolutely hated the movie, the characters were recycled trash, the storyline was bad and I honestly just wanted to kill myself through the whole thing. Not even bargain bin worthy. Pathetic excuse for a movie.

The characters don’t feel recognisable or endearing. The plot is really too over complicated for what it is supposed to be and never really feels like a Peter Pan film until the last 10 or 15 minutes and it’s plagued by some horrible miscasts! It really feels like a giant missed opportunity because I think this generation is ready for a good Peter Pan story, but this really doesn’t work and will likely sink the character for quite some time. Warner Bros are clearly intending for this to be a franchise starter, but this is such a lazily put together family film that I don’t think it will endure any sequels, this really felt like a get them in, get them out movie and the only thing it had going for it was the fact that the film had a well designed version of Neverland. That is it! The rest of the film is a drag and it feels incredibly boring to sit through and that’s saying a lot considering this film has a fight scene between a Spitfire and a Flying Pirate ship. How do you make that boring?? Oh, and whoever suggested putting Nirvana and The Ramones into this movie in the way they did, really needs to rethink their line of work!… Expand

Hollywood needs to stop trying to make origin stories, Pan is proof of this. I haven't seen a film this messy in a while.

To start with, there's the acting. Hugh Jackman's Blackbeard must have been pulled straight out of a pantomime, it'sHollywood needs to stop trying to make origin stories, Pan is proof of this. I haven't seen a film this messy in a while.

To start with, there's the acting. Hugh Jackman's Blackbeard must have been pulled straight out of a pantomime, it's the only way to explain his hammy performance. Levi Miller does try his hardest as Peter, but thanks to the script I was rarely convinced he was Peter Pan. This movie's Hook, played by Garrett Hedlund, seems more interested in trying to be a discount Han Solo/Indiana Jones type than anything else. Finally, there's Tigerlily. Considering the weak material she had to work with, it ultimately wouldn't have made a difference who they casted as Tigerlily, but they casted Rooney Mara nonetheless. As well as being as much of a Native American as Columbus was, Mara is utterly bland and forgettable.

Now, for Pan's humble origins. Or rather, not so humble. See, Peter couldn't just be an ordinary child, whose vivid imagination makes him able to fly, and whose daring, cocky attitude prompts him to oppose Blackbeard. That would make him a more relatable character, so instead he's the son of a fairy prince - which is why he can fly-, and as a consequence is the chosen one, destined to kill Blackbeard. Thank you, Hollywood, for once again giving us the type of tripe that messed up characters such as Darth Vader. For once, wouldn't be nice if the protagonist was simply your average joe that grew into greatness, rather than being born into it?

Aside from that, the rest of the adventure is rushed. Not enough time is granted to consider what's going on as they hurry through each scene. Perhaps they're too busy trying to escape the mismatched soundtrack, particularly after a bunch of pirates chant "Smells Like Teen Spirit" roughly 50 years before that song was released (while led on by a pirate who died over 200 years before rock music was a thing). There are a couple of thrills here and there, but you never get the feeling that the heroes are ever in danger. It's hard to tell whether this is down to them being stock threats employed in a number of better films, or the extensive use of obvious CGI.

At the end, Peter claims to Hook that nothing will ever go wrong, hinting at a sequel. But it already has, especially if the box office is anything to go by. A poor retelling of a classic story.… Expand

There are some occasions where the visuals are impressive, but most of the time they were hideous and ugly. The writing and directing are awful and destroy the movie immediately. It is a structural trainwreck and makes no sense. The random inserts of "Smells Like Team Spirit" and "Blitzkreig Bop" are extremely off putting and illogical. "Pan" is the most disappointing and one of the worst movies of the year. Stay away at all costs.… Expand

But then, they chose a great director at the wrong time. The casting is awful. Hugh Jackman as "Blackbeard" should've been the idea choice since Geoffrey Rush's performance in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Rooney Mara as "Tiger Lily" is just terrible. I was so offended and confused on why she chose this role as a "female Indian/Native American princess" in the first place. I didn't see this movie very often. An origin story that (ironically) wasted too many lines, CGI-action sequences just happens to be a poor man's "Avatar," and zero character development. It gets even worse. In the movie, Blackbeard sings to Nirvana's "Smell Like Teen Spirit" and turn it into a 45-second rendition of the Macarena. Really? Are we really f***ing stupid, Warners? Kids wanted to see a fairy tale adaptation of a beloved film that Disney is now on a role right now. I'd rather watch Peter Pan Live! once again. But stay away from Pan.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Of course we must make it dark and gritty. How else its going to sell? Well guess what. It didn't. You know why? For starters Altering the story to what it was. why in hell Peter become friends with Hook at the end? Why Peter has a prophecy behind him? I guess he was supposed to bring balance to the force, if you catch my drift. Then we have the rest. Its devoid of action or any sort of humor. It was boooooring! I guess you could say that this movie was critically PANned… Expand

Les comédiens sont tous mauvais et/ou en font des tonnes… y compris les gamins qui ont surtout l’air con. En outre, ils ont carrément déconné avec l’histoire ici, et l’on mise dans le mauvais sens. De toute façon, tout est bidon là-dedans, même les images de synthèse faiblardes et débiles de stupidité à tous les étages.

Il est à noter que déjà en 2015, les producteurs ont versé dans le wokisme et la soupe à la diversité obligatoire… c’est boulotté par Disniais-woke-niais-inclusif, cette merde à gogols ou quoi ?! Quoi qu’il en soit, quel ennui et quelle bouffonnerie insupportable ! c’est pas regardable.… Expand

Pan Pan is a plot driven adventurous drama about a twelve year old orphan entering a magical world and claiming his legacy. The feature is a disaster from the first frame to the last one where its existence itself is questionable. Wright behind the whole extravaganza doesn't seem himself at all. The whole set of the feature looks like a big old prank to the viewers, makers, actors and all the others involved in it. The set pieces looks clearly fake, the production design poorly created, the costume design is juvenile and so is its art designing. The background is daft, the cinematography is almost a cruel joke with poorly handled camera work and amateur editing. The entire feature is an embarrassment from head to toe on terms of art and craft and any other claims that it might suggest. Being mutilated on technical aspects it doesn't suggest in any way, that the heart of the feature is at the right place. The cast too attempts to dive in with all their chips in but there isn't much range offered to the characters for them to factor in effectively. Jackman delivers at times, but for the rest of the part, he too fumbles. Mara clearly doesn't belong in such a theme and tone of the feature, she still somehow manages to deliver in such a dull environment. The narration is benign and unnecessarily loud with commercial aspects that reeks to the core and shucks away not only the originality of the concept and the somewhat creativity installed in it, as it spends most of the time on offering the material on a grand scale as much as possible but unfortunately the content like such wouldn't have worked in any way especially when it's crafted out like such. Pan is a huge slap on the face even commercial cinema as it even fails to entertain the audience.… Expand
