Loved It :)

Rating: 9/10 (3 January 2005)

First off, I have to state my one complaint...*sorry* I'm a little disappointed that this film didn't contain a little more fantasy. Maybe I expected something a little more like Big Fish, or maybe I relied on the trailers more than I should have. Anyway, I thought the movie was fantastic...The art, the story, the transitions between reality and fantasy, and the acting. I was extremely surprised at the children's acting abilities, and I thought that the boy who played Peter was wonderful. Depp's accent was a surprise at first, but I got used to it and actually began to enjoy it. The art was wonderful, and the pirate ship scene was amazing. As for the transitions, I felt that they were very well done, especially when Barrie (Depp) was questioning the boys about becoming pirates. I do feel that the ending was a little too centered around tear-jerking, but that was just the situation, wasn't it? I would strongly suggest seeing this movie :)
