Bruce Newman, San Jose Mercury News: If, as you go into the theater, you hear people coming out still chanting 'I do believe in fairies. I do! I do!' do not be alarmed. Soon you will be joining them. Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: If this film is passed over for technical Academy Award nominations it would be a real oversight. Read more
Mark Caro, Chicago Tribune: Works as mind-tickling entertainment that never stoops to the vulgarities or frenetic pacing of most family films. Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Little children may find it a bit scary ... but it's a warmhearted and often magical adventure. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: The movie may not soar, but this awfully big adventure is far from earthbound. Read more
Ty Burr, Boston Globe: Has in the young British actress Rachel Hurd-Wood a Wendy for the ages. Read more
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times: This is by no means a bad film, just one that's not as successful as we'd wish. Read more
Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post: Action-fortified, touching and entertaining from its beguiling beginning to its dreamy conclusion. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The director, P.J. Hogan, celebrates Peter's elfin derring-do yet recognizes that there's something a bit lonely about it. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Possesses effects galore, although curiously little to spark the imagination. Read more
Chris Vognar, Dallas Morning News: Faithful to its source but rather unremarkable as a movie experience. Read more
John Patterson, L.A. Weekly: For the first time in ages, a film makes one grateful for special effects: Indeed, it feels as if this is the very story such innovations were invented to enhance. You do, you do, you DO believe in fairies! Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: There just isn't enough in the movie, despite its marvelous design, to warrant another visit to this material. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: What it is lacking is any kind of wonder. True fairy dust is in decidedly short supply and without it, the movie sinks like a cannonball. Read more
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: Both enchantingly old-fashioned and daringly modern. Read more
A.O. Scott, New York Times: What distinguishes this Peter Pan from other versions is its unsentimental insight into the terrors and delights of both childhood and growing up. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: It's not completely joyless, as Spielberg's Hook was. And it is not without its laughs and little pleasures. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I walked in anticipating a sweet kiddie fantasy and was surprised to find a film that takes its story very seriously indeed, thank you, and even allows a glimpse of underlying sadness. Read more
Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: A dazzling retelling of the J.M. Barrie tale. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Every generation deserves its own version of Peter Pan. Until the next one arrives in 2019 or so, this one will do nicely. Read more
Susan Walker, Toronto Star: A tribute to the power of good storytelling. Read more
Time Out: These ingredients are digitally present and correct, but Hogan fails to inject much excitement into the many boisterous action sequences. Read more
Mike Clark, USA Today: Familiarity doesn't exactly breed contempt, yet despite the novelty of a real boy as Peter, the movie does engender a listless been-there / eaten-that reaction. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: The sweep of the story will pull along most viewers, young and old. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan is a primary text of modern culture, and P.J. Hogan's live-action rendition is the only one, screen or stage, to completely uncage this changeling and give it flight. Read more
