Review by Bob Ignizio
Plucky young orphan Peter (Levi Miller) is whisked away from
his drab and dreary life in a WWII era British Orphanage and into a much bigger
world filled with magic and adventure in PAN.
Peter doesn’t know it yet, but he’s the “chosen one” meant to fulfil a heroic
destiny. But first he has to escape from the fairy dust mines of the immortal
Blackbeard the Pirate (Hugh Jackman). Our hero is aided by Hook (Garrett
Hedlund), a charming antihero who says he’s only out for himself, but shows
flashes of altruism, and Tiger Lilly (Rooney Mara), a native princess who can
more than hold her own with the men when it comes time to battle Blackbeard’s
pirates. If this rag-tag band of rebels is to succeed in forging the
prophesized alliance between the native tribe and the fairy folk, though, Peter
will first have to learn to have faith in himself.
