Pan Reviews

It is a transposition of the play "Peter Pan, the boy who did not want to grow up" (1904). The originality of this interpretation lies in its prequel character, introducing us the origin of Peter Pan and his arrival to the land of Neverland".

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jan 14, 2024

It'll certainly keep your kids entertained, but that's all that it will do. Pan does little to add to the classic tale (...) and fails to make an impression that lasts.

| Oct 9, 2021

Big production values aren't enough to save this muddled, clunky Peter Pan origin story.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jun 8, 2021

A noisy conclusion to the story allows the special effects to take over and Pan becomes a little less magical and a bit more mundane.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 4, 2021

A mess, and no amount of exposition is going to tie it together.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 26, 2021

I am pretty much sure most adults would find it to be such a waste of time. If there is going to be a sequel, I really can't say... but I hope they make it much better...

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 20, 2020

Why are all these pirates singing a 90's grunge anthem while navigation a flying boat in the middle of Neverland? [Full review in Spanish]

Joe Wright's take on the classic tale is a success, albeit a very, very strange one.

| Apr 7, 2020

Keep calm and don't go see Pan, but cross your fingers that Levi Miller will get a role worthy of his talent.

| Original Score: D+ | May 10, 2019

Wright tends to ditch some of the more magical parts and elaborations on character...to give us a prequel that will be entertaining for the kids, but will leave adults wanting more.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2019

Overall, all the well intention of the filmmakers involved is swallowed up by overwhelming action and CGI spectacle. It also went on for far too long at nearly 2-hours, but too short on humor and whimsy.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 5, 2019

There is little the cast can do with the storyline and un-inspiring dialogue they have to work with.

| Feb 22, 2019

Even magic becomes predictable. And despite the innumerable set pieces, that's where Pan fails to sparkle.

| Feb 7, 2019

It's more annoying than enchanting.

| Original Score: D | Jan 18, 2019

Neverland is not a place that can be measured with dimensions (...) and mile markers. It is a place of pretend, its boundaries are permeable, its reality always in question.

| Jan 9, 2019

However, the whimsical aspect of Pan was dubiously over-shadowed, over-produced yet curiously understated in its ability to convey a storytelling moment that did not seem laborious.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 9, 2018

The screenplay is generic, the cast is poorly chosen, and despite his talent Joe Wright was just the wrong choice for this material.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 1, 2018

While it works well as eye candy, and it would probably babysit a kid for two hours if necessary, it doesn't exactly serve as a winning advertisement for a Neverland vacation.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Oct 31, 2018

Full of various ideas and narrative threads built on top of others, none of which make any sense.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 13, 2018

The film does not exactly fly by and some interpretations of the characters, chief among them Hook, may strike some as odd. Never mind; there are always the inventive visuals and Hugh Jackman in pure, pantomime baddie mode.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 23, 2018
