Peter Pan & Wendy

-

 


Peter Pan & Wendy is a new telling of a classic tale. The film follows Wendy Darling, a youthful girl seeking to escape boarding school, crosses paths with Peter Pan, a boy steadfast in his determination to remain forever young. Accompanied by her brothers and Tinker Bell, Wendy embarks on a journey to the enchanting realm of Neverland, where they confront a malevolent pirate captain.

What follows is The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers of Peter Pan & Wendy.

The Good

One of the things I liked most about Peter Pan & Wendy is that it emphasized the Native American perspective by delving into the culture related to Tiger Lily. It provided a nuanced portrayal, shedding light on their traditions, beliefs, and interactions within the context of Neverland. The movie made a deliberate effort to showcase the Native American side of the story, contributing to a more inclusive and diverse representation in the overall storyline.

The Bad

While Peter Pan & Wendy is a retelling of a classic, the plot felt disappointingly cliché, recycling the same old storylines we've seen countless times before. Despite a promising cast and production, the film failed to bring a fresh perspective, leaving audiences with a sense of déjà vu. I also did not enjoy the villain redemption arch that they added to Captain Hook, although I will concede that this could be the creators attempt at an innovative twist to the stories normal narrative.

My Overall Opinion

I give Peter Pan & Wendy a depressing 4 out of 10.

The Batman (Like, Another One)

  When I first heard there was going to be another Batman, with a different actor, my first thought was simply “why?”. When I found out that this actor was Robert Patterson, I was genuinely intrigued. I know Patterson gets a lot of negative comments because of the Twilight movies, but I have never held those against him. The Batman follows this iconic superhero in a new dark tale as he tracks down a serial killer. Batman slowly follows the clues into the criminal underworld of Gotham and the possible corruption of Gotham’s most influential figures.   What follows is The Good, The Bad, and  The Spoilers  of The Batman. The Good This movie has a nice “dark” feel to it, reminiscent of The Dark Knight. A villain that brutally kills his victims. A hero not afraid to beat the bad guys to a bloody pulp. Criminals focused on sex, drugs, and all things bad. These are things that the majority of super hero movies seems to shy away from, or skirt around. Although the majority of superhero mo

Talk to Me

  Talk to Me is the newest scary movie to hit theaters. A group of teenagers discover that they can use an embalmed hand to communicate with the dead. The experience is addicting and they soon relish the thrill to keep using the hand. Unfortunately, their game had frightening supernatural consequences. What follows is  The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers  of  Talk to Me . The Good I love a good horror movie, sadly a lot of horror movies over the last few years focus on jump scares more than the actual story. However, Talk to Me does a great job delivering an original story, filled with more chilling moments, then actual jump scares. (There are still plenty of those) The story is intriguing and will keep you questioning what is real and what is not throughout the entire film.   By far my favorite aspect of this movie is the ending. Although my reviews typically have spoilers, I cannot bring myself to spoil what I thought was a superb ending to this horror film. Often, horror mo

  The Last Voyage of the Demeter sailed into theaters this past weekend. This movie gives life to the captain’s log in Bram Stoker’s “Dracula”. The crew of the merchant ship Demeter sailed to London, as they have countless times before. What should be a routine job and hefty bonus, soon becomes a fight for survival as the crew learns that there is a monstrous presence aboard. What follows is  The Good, The Bad, and The Spoilers  of  The Last Voyage of the Demeter . The Good While the story The Last Voyage of the Demeter is based on excerpts from a classic horror novel, the idea to bring these logs to life was genius. This film provides a story to the events that took place over a single chapter in the novel. While those of us who have read the novel know how the story will end, it did not change the intrigue in seeing how the story would play out. The cast does an amazing job making this believable with great performances throughout. The Bad Unfortunately, the unique take on
