I don't have much to say on this one folks.
The acting was incredible; the whole cast took the heart of the characters and made them blossom in a beautiful symphony.
The special effects were ok. They were a little rough, but what they were doing...they transitioned Pan from ferret to bird flawlessly at one point that was incredible.
The plot...well, let me put it to you this way. It left the audience crying like an incisioned child "Where's my plot? Have you seen my plot?" I understand the need to water it down, rearrange it a little, make it work as a film. But this? The movie ends and you feel like just under two hours of your life are gone and you can't get them back. And in all honesty, I'm not sure I'd feel any different if I hadn't read the book. They tried to do too much with what they did do and left so much with paper thin explanations and experiences.
Kids might enjoy it, although during the bear battle it does get really gruesome at the end.
So the break down:
Acting: :kneel::kneel::kneel: out of 3
Graphics: :pawprint::pawprint::pawprint: of 3
Plot: :pointlaugh: :yikes: :hissyfit: :hammer: :( :peeing::crying::BS:
Overall: meh
