Nice film but not quite a great film

Rating: 5/10 (11 November 2004)

I liked this film somewhat but I had a few issues. It never quite developed into the rich biopic it was hyped to be. something is missing.This film does have it's moments though. maybe it's that it is a bit too restrained, and hints at what it could have been. It's a nice film but not a great one. If you are a Johnny Depp fan you'll probably like this , even though you may not love it. I wanted to be shown the story not told it. Maybe it was a script weakness that did not allow any of the characters to go somewhere with their character. the cast did a good job with what they had to work with is my feeling. I think it could have been done better. I wanted to be shown "Neverland" and never really was.
