Movie Reviews of Peter Pan
Movie Review: An amazing revival of a classic musical, with pros and cons
Summary: 5 Stars
I was very excited to receive this DVD from Amazon. After putting it into my DVD player I was greeted with a nice menu and features. The picture quality and sound on this DVD is superb. The set is far more advanced and impressive than the original Mary Martin version. The flying is more real and breathtaking also. Cathy Rigby soars over the stage beautifully, showing off talent in flips and turns through the air. As other reviewers have said before, there are some annoying differences if you are used to the orignal version. First of all, Cathy Rigby can not compare to Mary Martin. She is more masculine and can't carry a tune as well as her predessor. She seems to be more of a mean character in this version, pushing the lost boys around, well in this case they arn't really boys, and her voice isn't as playful as Mary's. I think Richard Cyril (or whoever played the original Hook) was somewhat better and more memorable. I like the added sequence of Marooner's Rock with neat mermaids and flowing water. I don't like how they used a much younger Mrs. Darling, she seems to be 25. Here, Smee is also a bit young for the character, he could easily pass for 20. As I said, the lost boys arn't really boys, but older guys, which is a disappointment. I would like to see the scene changes as if watching a live production, but they are not shown in this film. You can see the audience clapping along and credits come on the screen, telling of the name of the different scenes or rather where they take place. And sadly, Liza, (the nanny lady) never gets to go to Neverland as the original. Tiger Lily's dance is not as fun. But overall I would say this is a very good revival of a classic. I give it 5 stars for it is amazing in its own right, but compared to the original it falters a bit. Defintately pick this one up if you loved the original, or have never seen it. It is an incredible performance to enjoy with the family.
