I didn't read the book, but this is the best movie I think I've ever seen.

Unlike others, I've loved most live adaptations that Disney does. But this was just..bad. I couldn't even finish the movie it was that bad. The movie felt rushed, especially in the beginning. I think the horrible reviews on this movie speak loud. The 1953 Peter Pan was magical and nearly perfect, minus the racism of course. This movie aimed to take that out but they did it in a poor way. Spolier: Tiger Lily is thrown in randomly. Wendy is looking for her brothers and Peter when suddenly the Lost Boys appear and start shooting arrows at her and then she sees Tiger Lily and says "Oh you're Tiger Lily" or something dumb. They could have kept the tribe in without the added racism and sterotypes, instead of randomly putting her in. Not to mention Tinkerbell was pushed to the side, no longer being the sassy fairy we love. Also, I get giving newer young actors a chance but they were falling flat. There was no passion behind their voices. Not even all the characters costumes were accurate. Captain Hook is supposed to gave a huge red coat and hat with a feather, yet you'll find that missing. Peter Pan looks nothing like the one we love. They could've at least got a more accurate costume. No wonder this movie didn't go to the theaters, it's awful. I don't know what the goal of this movie was, retell the story minus the racism? Make Wendy more of a main character? Introduce Hook in a better light? Make everyone despise Peter because he's so much more arrogent?

This movie is amazing, I couldn't believe how many 1 star reviews there are but then I read them, and realized how many homophobic people were displeased with a lighthearted fun adventure movie. People deserve to see people like them in the media and this movie did it very well compared to others who press it too hard, making it simply cringey. If you don't hate the LGBTQ+ community then you'll love this movie, it's full of a lot of awareness that you can understand by the end.
