Pan

Pan was a difficult watch. The overuse and reliance on BAD CGI created an artificial feel for Neverland, taking out any chance of beauty and fun, the imaginary world is supposed to boast of. Acting-wise, there was an obvious lack of chemistry among its leads due to flat out bad portrayals. Garrett Hedlund annoyed the hell out of me as Hook, with his overacted, impersonation of Harrison Ford. Rooney Mara, on the other hand, was bland as Tiger Lily, offering little to salvo the whitewashed criticism of her casting. The film's biggest downfall however, is its forced and rushed screenwriting. Apart from Peter, there was absolutely zero character development for everyone else, making it very difficult to care for the many faces on screen. Yet the makers made time to ensure the film pay homage to 90s grunge rock? Where did that come from?

As a childhood fan of Peter Pan, this 2015 adaptation murdered great memories I had. Everything felt fake, making its predecessors look grande despite the supposed handicap in filmmaking. 5/10.
