REEL DEAL: Pan REVIEW

There is always a special place for the story of Peter Pan and Neverland in our hearts, and with years since the last incarnation of the well loved story, Pan comes in to bring a new story behind the characters of Neverland. Led by Hugh Jackman as the pirate Blackbeard, and newcomer Levi Miller as Peter, brings a whole new excitement to kids and kids-at-heart.

Pan tells the story before he became the flying boy who does not grow up. The story when he first met the soon-to-be "Captain" Hook  played by Garret Hedlund and also found accidental friendship with Tiger Lily played by Rooney Mara. 

The movie was indeed a visual feast with a another re-imagination of the children's tale. There was also a twist with the music that is used for this film as they gambled with modern songs interpreted into the tune of the moment and the timeline. Comparatively a new concept with this prequel brings surprise, which can either be a miss or hit. Nevertheless, it is still an enjoyable film that is best seen with the whole family and in 3D.
