It would be interesting if Universal decieded to build a ride based around it. Imigine it being huge with all the latest tecnology, it would be Universal's ultimate revenge.:lol:

Sort of reminds me of Bio-Dome, but that whole movie had me saying ?

Well, I went again, and enjoyed it much more. Now that I'm prepared for the bad parts I can enjoy the good parts completely. I'll *definitely* be seeing it a few more times.

I just got back from seeing it, and I must say it was a great movie! Jason Isaacs, who played Captain Hook and Mr. Darling, did a better job at playing Hook than Dustin Hoffman did! I liked it a lot, and the kid actors did a great job. I definitely recommend it!

As I said in one of my updates...I saw it (in between going to MGM and MK) and I really liked it. It was kinda boring in the beginning, but it got much better. The only thing I thought was dumb was when Hook could of killed Peter so many times, but he just doesnt. I definately think Peter Pan, and Haunted Mansion should be nominated for best prop design/ costume design/ visual effects. Overall, I liked the movie.

I know Disney didn't create it, but its version is the one that first comes to mind when you think about Peter Pan. But I think Universal went a little too close to Disney's version on purpose. I mean, "Hook" doesn't resemble Disney's version at all. That's one of the three reasons why I won't be seeing this movie, the second being they ripped off Disney's Tink and the third being the strong sexual innuendo.
Universal knows that Disney's is the standard and that is why they did a lot of things that are way different than the animated version. The problem with the likenesses that are there is that they are in the original story, which Universal can't change. To say that Uni ripped things off from Disney exact if they are in the original. A lot of what Disney uses is from the stage version, the same with a lot of what Uni uses.
As far as the sexual innuendo goes it's not as in your face as you may think. A lot of it comes off as 'coming-of-age-puppy-love' type things, which I feel enhances the story between Peter and Wendy in a way Disney shyed away from. It makes the story seem more natural between the characters by providing a deeper level. I personally think Uni did a wonderful job of not only taking on the challenge of another Peter Pan, but actually developing it into a more believable adventure whereas Disney's is elementary, play-ful fun.

I've heard this movie is good.. but I don't know if I really want to see it... someone give me a good reason to and I might, lol.

I can't remember any real innuendo. There was certainly nothing blatant. They voiced the subtext (the puppy love that Legacy referred to) but there was never an implication of anything more than a kiss in word or action.
If you want to know absolutely anything you might *possibly* be offended by, you can look at Screen It , but it's LOADED with spoilers, so beware.

What part was the voicing of the subtext...
as for inuendo, I dont remember any. There certainly wasnt any kind of inuendo like in Cat In the Hat, or Dudley Do Right in Peter Pan that I saw or heard. I just thought it was weird that you have little 9 year old kids, talking about love, kissing on each other, and the dance scene with Peter and Wendy was a little grown up for a kid who didnt want to be:hammer:

I saw it, and I thought it was pretty good, but not as good as the Disney version.
I thought the kissing was a bit much. I thought these guys didn't want to grow up?:veryconfu
Jason Isaacs really put on a good performance. I think he might be nominated for best actor. The special effects were so-so. The scene where they go into outer space looked like somthing out of a pixar movie. Over all though, a good movie.
As for nudity, I thought at one part where the boys flip over and Tiger Lilly sees them with their robes down, don't you see their butts for a split second?
I don't know. It happened so fast.

In the book, you can tell that Wendy (and every other girl in the Neverland) has a crush on Peter, and that Peter has a crush on Wendy, but they never come right out and say it. The movie assumes we're not smart enough to see that without putting it in the dialogue. Wendy and Peter are both 12ish. As for 9-year-olds kissing, John is probably 9, and he was kissed by Tiger Lily (who should be way older than she was here). That certainly didn't happen in the book. His face turning pink was one of the parts that *really* made me cringe.
Yeah, you do, but they're on the edges of the screen while you see Tiger Lily in the center, so most people don't notice it. I think even the Screen It people missed that! But it's just a couple of little kids' hineys.....no innuendo there, just minor nudity.
Yeah, but that's just how it should have looked! The Neverland is the world of childrens' imagination. Space isn't supposed to look like real outer space. All the planets and stars were clumped up together, just like everything on the island is supposed to be, so there's not much space between adventures.
I just got back from seeing it for my third time. The silly parts are getting much easier to ignore and Hook is getting better with each showing. I like it more every time I see it. The only bad thing about the repetition is that the music is starting to grate on me. (The big Neverending-story, 80s-ish adventure theme that plays when the kids are flying through London, when Peter Pan gets all blinky with bad SFX at the climax, and when the end credits start to run.)
