Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Nayan Gough A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

griz-259-175100 One gets the feeling that writers and producer have a great respect for JM Barrie's original work. They've exercised their personal artistic vision well (the crocs, possible logistics of the power of flight and how Peter came by them, the hooded figure, "Captain Bonnie", friends becoming enemies, Peter's life before "Pan"); while paying a kind of homage to the original work by taking the time to fold elements of it into their story. Things like the possible origin and depths of the animosity between Hook and Pan; what happened to Hook's hand and how the croc got a "taste for him"; why Peter can have such fits of forgetfulness and lack of concern with his past -- remain "forever child-like and innocent; why he had to return to the real world to eventually encounter Wendy and her brothers (I LOVE how they fold this in at the end!). Everywhere one looks, one sees respect for the original story. It was also a pleasure to see Bob Hoskins once again -- and for the last time -- revive the character of Smee as only he can. Well acted, well written, well conceived. Most of the negative reviews seem to hinge upon the story or characters not being what the reviewer wanted them to be. One of the essentials of watching this kind of movie is the ability to put one's expectations on hold for long enough to see just what the writers and producer have in mind and respect that this COULD be a valid prequel to a well-loved story.

Steven Wilson I've give my rating a four because of the acting ability from all of the actresses and actors, I think they played their part well how ever I was not impressed by this series. What I wasn't impressed about was the story plot as a whole, it seemed like a fan fiction of when Peter meets Fagan who turns into captain hook.Peter was an orphan just like Oliver twist who happens to meet Fagan but instead he's named Hook. In the real story Peter wasn't an orphan, his parents were very much alive and he flew away to Kensington Gardens after hearing of his adult life. A fairy is born from a baby's laugh and Peter was 7 days old when he lived in Kensington Gardens, and Tinkerbell was born by his laugh. The TV series Neverland seemed to have forgot this and forgot the true story. I was very disappointed the true magic of Neverland wasn't portrayed.I think this TV series was another care of another classic being eroded away and the author's work being forgotten.

brady-70 This is an excellent job explaining how Hook, Peter, the boys, the Indians, and the Pirates all ended up in Neverland and many other unanswered questions are revealed. You will be pleasantly surprised how Nick Willing brings this tale together with great CGI, actors and sets to bring you back to Neverland where no one grows old. Willing borrows from Dickens' Fagin character to mold James Hook into the leader of a lair of boys from old London including Peter who, of course, is the cleverest. Keira Knightley as the voice of Tinker Bell holds up well. The CGI is great, and even though Willing borrows from Star Wars, Dances with Wolves, Pirates of the Caribbean you really don't mind since he does it in such a charming way that you don't notice it because you can believe that this is actually how they all got to end up in Neverland. Highly recommend this movie.

Rachael-Harper I was always a big fan of the story of Peter Pan growing up but I always wondered how Peter Pan came to be in Neverland and where Tinkerbell came from etc.. This story answers some long over due questions while remaining true to the original books. I really do love stories or films that expand upon an original idea and breathe new life into it, this mini- series did just that. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a more mature refreshing take on Peter Pan..The actor playing Peter Pan was very likable,Rhys Ifans did a very good job as the rouge Hook and Anna Faris very much surprised me with her witty take as Captain Bonny especially the good accent, ..As soon as this mini series started I knew I was about to watch something special and I was certainly not disappointed!!
