But I will definitely try to answer as much as I can; and know that my knowledge has come straight from the new Disney film just recently released. So here you have the Piece of Cake Official Review on "PAN."
P A N
The film begins somewhat like Meet the Robinsons. A British mother is running through the night in high heels (I commend any woman who can do that. That has got to hurt, so kudos to you if you can run in heels). And one of the most questionable feats of acrobatics occurs right here. The mother freaking jumps over a ten foot high fence without hardly any effort. I'll come back to this.
Twelve years later, World War II is in action. Peter is a young boy in the orphanage that his mother dropped him off at, and we establish that he is very adventurous and dangerously nosy. As the war rages, boys have been disappearing from the orphanage, and they haven't been adopted either.
In fact, they're being captured by pirates of the notorious Blackbeard. Peter is one of the boys who gets caught, carried away on the ship "The Jolly Roger," Captain Hook's future ship. He goes to Neverland and is mining for fairy dust, which apparently takes away old age for a person. So practically, you can live forever.
Blackbeard is looking for all of the fairy dust he can get his hands on, and Peter finds some on his second day of work. On his first day, he is introduced to James Hook, a Western American sort of dude.
*Note: Captain James Hook is actually supposed to be an Englishman who attended Eton College. But... Disney I guess tried to make their own version of Hook.
Peter decides to stay in Neverland to look for his mother, whom he has never met. It is later revealed that his mother was a warrior of the Fairy Kingdom and that his father was a Fairy Prince. I don't want to tell you the entire thing, but to be honest, this film had such potential.
Ratings:
Family Friendliness: 9/10- Possibly the best film to take your kids to if they've been itching to go to the movies. Or you could wait until the Peanuts Movie. There is some violence and fighting, and some death, but the people burst into dust instead of bleeding out. So I guess that's always a family friendly plus.
Story-line: 4/10- The plot, I will be honest, was awful. This is probably the lowest score I have ever given in terms of plot ratings, and I am really sorry to be saying that Disney really screwed up this story. They could have done so much more like expanding on the fact that Fairy Dust is what Blackbeard is after. They just sort of passed it by, not even one minute of him rejuvenating himself.
Re-watch Probability: Very low- a.k.a. 5/10. The movie is not worth seeing in the theaters, see it in Redbox. Please save your money for something better like The Martian. Or take your kids to some ice cream.
Overall: 6/10- I know, I'm sorry for all of the parents that may have wanted to see a good Disney film to remind them of their childhood, but this film was simply not good. Disney wanted to make a sequel to expand on how Peter and Hook became enemies, but that probably won't happen what with the awful ratings the film has been getting. Sorry again folks. I was really looking forward to a great Peter Pan adventure. But Disney just simply did not deliver.
