If I want to see Rooney Mara in Doc Martens, I’ll just rewatch Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

And someone in Hollywood is thinking, “If only Peter had been more openly homosexual ... that would have turned this into a blockbuster! Next time ... next time ...”

Sounds horrific.
I’ll stick with Betty Bronson, circa 1924.

I knew that this would do nothing but pervert the whole Peter Pan story, and the fact it's getting panned in the reviews only reinforce it. So this is one movie I can safely put on my "do not watch" list.
On the other hand I saw "The Martian" yesterday and I really enjoyed it. Not Oscar material by any stretch of the word, but it was entertaining and well done. Now I need to get the book to see how close the movie was.

a roguish prisoner of Blackbeard's named Hook; after escaping Blackbeard's mines, Hook and a not-yet-magical Peter Pan jaunt across Neverland, buddies now but enemies-to-be in the sequels.So Hook and Peter Pan are friends in this movie, but will become enemies in sequels.
Sounds like Anakin Skywalker.

Sorry thought Depp was in it Depp was in "Finding Neverland" and in all honesty I thought he did a very good job in that one.

If I want to see Rooney Mara in Doc Martens, Ill just rewatch Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Rooney Mara does absolutely nothing for me.
Speaking of the Dragon Tattoo. I saw all 3 Swedish movies, then read the books, then watched the re-release of the Swedish movies with the previously left out footage. Enjoyed all.
But I just haven't been able to bring myself to watch the Hollywood version.

I watched the trailer, and I could absolutely see how the director was sure this would all work out. Replacing the green screens with childlike drawings of what the computer renderers would later destroy with CGI vomit, it looks like it would convey a pretty weak script into a pretty weak movie.
Maybe I'll have a different opinion in a couple weeks when this shows up on Netflix. If I owned a theater, though, I'd be on the phone trying to book another movie to replace it before next weekend.

Sounds like drek with little flourishes of CG eye candy. I have no interest in it at all but then I have never cared for ANY version of Peter Pan.

“Finding Neverland” is a beautiful film.
