Where to begin. Let's start with the positive. Ever was amazing in her role. That's it. She is a great actress and was very believable and since this movie was really about her, I guess that works then. Oh. And Tinkerbell...was fine. She was cute, expressive and it worked. But here's what's wrong. First, the green screen & cgi were utterly laughable. It's barely 90s quality. Jude seemed to just be there for the paycheck, it was obvious that he really wasn't into the role. Everything else I've seen him in, there was no doubting the character. Also, why are there girl Lost Boys? It completely goes against the story. Wendy was special because she was a girl. And the line "but you're not all boys...I guess it doesn't matter" was so obvious in-your-face "we don't care what you want". And why oh why did they remove ALL the songs but add new ones? And where were the mermaids? The main issue is that, just like Aladdin, the movie was no longer focused on main character, the character the movie was named after. Disney took a story for the boys and turned it into female empowerment. Wendy and also Tiger Lilly are the heroes in this story. Wendy get Peter to change and grow up, at least mentally. Peter growing up worked in Hook, because, well, that was the storyline, he actually grew up. This movie lacked everything that made Peter Pan Peter Pan. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Disney, stop with the live action remakes. Because you are just ruining the magic that made the originals great.
