Review of Pan (2015) by Kadeemluvmusic — 11 Oct 2015

Yeah, Pan is such a huge disaster. For a brief moment, I had high hopes for this movie to be the best adapted Peter Pan movie ever. But then, they chose a great director at the wrong time. The casting is awful.

Hugh Jackman as "Blackbeard" should've been the idea choice since Geoffrey Rush's performance in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. Rooney Mara as "Tiger Lily" is just terrible. I was so offended and confused on why she chose this role as a "female Indian/Native American princess" in the first place.

I didn't see this movie very often. An origin story that (ironically) wasted too many lines, CGI-action sequences just happens to be a poor man's "Avatar," and zero character development. It gets even worse.

In the movie, Blackbeard sings to Nirvana's "Smell Like Teen Spirit" and turn it into a 45-second rendition of the Macarena. Really? Are we really f***ing stupid, Warners? Kids wanted to see a fairy tale adaptation of a beloved film that Disney is now on a role right now.

I'd rather watch Peter Pan Live! once again. But stay away from Pan.
