Just finished watching with my wife and kids and it is a nice modern retelling of the Disney classic with enough plot changes and twists to make it interesting. There is nothing wrong with the acting, cinematography, or special effects which are all what you would expect for movie of this genre. You can tell all the one star views are either fake or based off of reading/watching the same right wing pundits as they gripe about the same few things over and over again, some of which arent even true like Captain Hook doesn't even wear a hat (he does in some of the scenes) and it made no semse to keep Tiger Lily without her tribe (they must not have noticed the scene with her tribe members because they weren't screaming about what makes the red man red). And my personal favorite about why she was riding a horse, I mean was she just supposed to be running around everywhere? It doesn't matter that this based on a fictional story that emphasizes using your imagination to make the world what you want it to be and that in the original telling the author doesn't actually describe what Peter Pan looks like but only what he is wearing. These people are just mad because Peter Pan and Tinker Bell are not played by white actors, that they included a girl as part of the lost boys, and worst of all they made the female characters formidable instead of being damsels in distress or trouble makers. If they just took a step back from their own implicit and explicit bias they might actually appreciate some of the more clever moments where you can tell the director knew what the criticism was going to be with Wendy's wise words in response to finding out that not all the lost boys were boys: "I guess it doesn't really matter, does it". Please don't tell them that in most productions Peter Pan is actually played by an adult woman cause they might really lose it.
