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.

stagedlined466 If your like me who love these classic stories then you should agree with me that this mini-series is a contrived sci-fi mess. What makes this so bad is that it commits the sin that most fairy tale/ fantasy adaptations do these days; "trying to make sense of the story". When movies, TV shows or any other form of media attempt that it really destroys the magic and dignity of the stories. If you are like me and is a lover of classics I'd avoid this dung pile and stick with your books. Besides why watch this when there are far better Peter Pan adaptions such as; The Disney movie, Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates, Hook, or even the 2003 live-action movie.

Asma Guernah I'm a HUGE fan of Peter Pan, the Lost Boys and Neverland, and I thought this was brilliant!! It was fun and exciting to watch I LOVE Syfy for doing this. There were a lot of twists and turns, ones I was expecting and others that really surprised me and got me hooked (no pun intended. Syfy changed a lot of thins up, but I loved ALL of it. The actors were all wonderful, and the graphics weren't exaggerated at all like I was expecting, so go WATCH if you love Peter Pan!Charlie Rowe as Peter was just too good. He is SO fun to watch and adorable as Peter. I want more of this!! Permanent Syfy show, perhaps? :) I hope! I would certainly watch it, seeing as how Syfy did such a great job with it.

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!!
