Review of Pan (2015) by Thequietgamer — 23 Dec 2015
A lot of imagination went into making Pan's origin story. It can be a dazzling experience. One that's a heck of a lot of fun if you let yourself get lost in it's world. There are a lot of exciting things to behold.
With bright colors, bonkers moments, and great CGI it's all a sight to behold. The writing itself holds up well. Peter's lack of faith in himself is perhaps familiar, but I was still invested in it every step of the way. The movie also manages a great sense of humor and some emotional moments regarding Peter's mother. The only thing missing is watching Hook becoming the villain we know him to be.
The cast is fantastic. Levi Miller is a talented young actor. While odd at first, the Indiana Jones vibe Garrett Hedlund brings to Captain Hook is an interesting take on the character. One that is ultimately likable. The real star of the show though is Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard. His eccentric performance is a blast. He is clearly having fun in the role and the movie is all the better for it. He plays a great villain.
The movie serves as a great way to bring Pan's magical world to life. With hilarity, heart, and crazy moments it's a spectacular and thrilling movie. One that's perfect for families and does the classic story justice. A movie that's just all around wonderful.
