Critics Consensus

Solid if far from definitive, this version of Peter Pan is visually impressive, psychologically complex and faithful to its original source.

David Ansen Newsweek Hogan has managed to remain faithful to Barrie's Edwardian spirit without making him feel musty. Mar 12, 2018 Full Review Neil Norman London Evening Standard Clearly a star in the making, Hurd-Wood demonstrates a maturity far beyond her 13 years, especially in the easy way she adopts the role of surrogate mother to The Lost Boys once in Never-Never Land. Jan 11, 2018 Full Review Empire Magazine It won't give Harry Potter a run for his money, but it beats the hell out of a Cannon & Ball panto in Skegness. Rated: 3/5 May 27, 2011 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand You may feel like you’ve stepped into the pages of a storybook illustrated by Maxfield Parrish when you fly off to Neverland in... P.J. Hogan’s deft and delightful take on the oft-filmed J.M. Barrie classic. May 6, 2023 Full Review Sergio Benítez Espinof It adapts Barrie's text quite faithfully, adding certain reflections that no adaptation to the novel has made so far. [Full Review in Spanish] Apr 14, 2020 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy On the whole it's a pleasant thing, if hardly the definitive treatment of the source material.

Bethany B Visually beautiful! The character of the book is well represented in magic and adventure. The story telling is enchanting and the actors (especially Captain Hook) do a great job. This has been a favorite for 20 years. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/11/24 Full Review Alec B Most of the effects work hasn't aged well but the movie crucially understands that the key to making any "Peter Pan" adaptation work is recognizing that rebelling against growing up is an important step on the path to growing up. Wild that so few people have ever understood this. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Gigga C Great movie. The fairy tale vibe that this movie gives is the amazing and also the special effects and action sequence’s still hold up today in my opinion. This movie is still better than the new Disney’s Peter Pan. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/18/24 Full Review Amir A Listen, This Movie is Cheesy, Has Terrible Green Screen Scenes and Odd Dialogue. Also This Movie Is Very Violent for a PG Rated Movie! However It's very charming and Jeremy Sumpter's Peter Pan is Somewhat likeable and Jason Issacs as Captain Hook was probably the best part of this movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/18/24 Full Review Casey G This is my second favorite adaptation of Peter Pan, right behind the Robin Williams helmed movie, Hook. This version has got all the fantasy, whimsy of childhood, never-wanting-to-grow-up that you'd ever need in a live action movie. Jason Isaacs as Captain Hook is brilliant of course and I feel that the child actors did quite well too. The soundtrack is to die for. Just watch it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Ece E Beautiful movie of my childhood, it stood the test of time. New adaptations don't have the same magic.
