For those who are still young at heart and have an imagination

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2005)

I expected this movie to be like Hook or even Bewitched (of course not as bad as bewitched). I expected it artificially recreate the original into a lame real life interpretation, but I found to the contrary I enjoyed the story of Barrie, the playwright, to be even more amazing than Pan himself. It does help that it was Depp playing Barrie.
I have yet to find an actor who can add that element of whimsical mystique, as can also be seen in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, so characteristic of Depp. Not mention the elegance that only Kate Winslet can bring to the screen would doing the movie injustice. The movie would have suffered had it been any other actress.
