PAN-demonium
PAN is a gorgeous mess.
Visually beautiful with a superb music score, this mish mash of the
writer and director's favorite movie scenes, all shoved together and
pelted at the audience, ends up being infuriating and tedious. Peter Pan
was written by JM Barrie in about 1904. Not 1940, as this film thinks
it starts. The London Blitz sets the Little Orphan Peter scenes with
cartoon Catholic Nuns and suddenly switches to galleons which whisk kids
through The Batlle Of Britain to Mad Max Thunderdome or is it Fury
Road. Utter preposterous ridiculous rubbish, even by fantasy standards.
This is THE ADVENTURES OF BARON MAUNCHHAUSEN colliding with MADAM
BUTTERFLY in operatic OLIVER cacophony with Hugh Jackman in the most
stupid pirate lacquer since Burt Lancaster in THE CRIMSON PIRATE. Hook
is introduced and played by a ridiculous Garret Hedlind who clearly has
been told to sound like Jack Nicholson imitating Clint Eastwood
imitating John Huston dressed as Indiana Jones doing Michael Douglas in
ROMANCING THE STONE. Some jungle scenes crash in which collide Aztec
SWISS FAMILY ROBINSON with RAPA NUI. A risible crystal amphetamine
smoking scene should have been deleted from the picture as is all
hunting the addictive crystal should have been. The endless fighting,
screaming and yelling will drive any audience to tears... and then it
all ends. This is a terrible beautiful mess of a film, and I groaned
audibly often. Levi Miller is magnificent as Peter... but what is this
Pan Flute crap? JM Barrie did not write PETER PAN FLUTE. This is just
stupid, endlessly. What a waste of all the craftsmanship on show.
