So Beautiful! Magical, Touching, One Word...... Classic.

Rating: 10/10 (5 February 2005)

I may be a bit young, and have not been exposed to too many "classics", but this movie truly moved me. Johnny Depp was amazing as J.M. Barry, but when is he ever off? Kate Winslet was very good in this as well, although I am rather biased towards her, because I've always loved her work. The little boy who played Peter (his name has escaped me at this moment) was brilliant, I am really looking forward to seeing him in other films, he is a wonderful little actor. When I went to go see this I was with my parents and no one in the theater (except maybe the really young girls who snuck in halfway through and were more interested in the boys they had brought with them) wasn't crying for the last thirty minutes of this film. I am such a slanted viewer though because as a child my favorite movie was Disney's cartoon version of Peter Pan and then when they made the live action Peter Pan in 2003 I remember how much magic was in Neverland. This was just another step for me in loving the world that J.M. Barry created.
I really recommend you go see this movie. If you don't like it, I truly wonder about your sanity, or compassion as a human being.
