One of my favourite movies. I always lean to anything fairytale related, and this retelling of Peter Pan is no different. Robin Williams is AMAZING in his role as an aged Peter Pan and he really does make the film. The rest of the cast are just as incredible though, it really is an all celebrity cast.

I never saw this as a kid so I have no nostalgia for this. Once they go to Never land I became bored. This is way too long. Robin Williams is alright, this is not his best. I thought Dustin Hoffman's Hook was weird. All the kids were annoying.

I really enjoyed this movie. a Version of a grown up Peter Pan is so much fun. And I really liked Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook.

Nothing will _ever_ convince me that this was a bad movie. I know the critics hated it, and I know Spielberg wasn't too keen on it until after Robin's death, but this is the perfect adventure movie to me. Sure, the nostalgia glasses are probably forming that opinion, but to me, there are very few moments in movies that have ever hit as hard as Peter remembering how to fly. "Just hold on to that happy thought, Peter!" right as John Williams'…

A classic that isn’t perfect but deserves better reviews. The casting is top notch. The musical score is magical. As are the visuals. The movie just takes a wrong turn when one of the lost boys are killed by Hook. It takes away some of the magic.
