Pan - Movie Review

Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit in a Peter Pan movie? What the f**k!.
The story is about a young orphan boy finds himself taken to the magical world known as Neverland. Trouble and adventure await the boy - a boy who will one day become the one and only Peter Pan.
So I've just seen Pan a few days ago and I was quite shocked of how bad this film was. This might be the most disappointing movie of the year for me, because Pan was my most anticipated movie of 2015... and it fails to live up to my exceptions.
Levi Miller did a decent job playing Peter Pan in the movie, I mean he's really trying here and I can see that from him. This is he's first big motion picture film and it really dose show. He didn't do a terrible performance like most kid actors, he did alright for what he had to work with.
Now Rooney Mara is a great actress and she has shown us that she has talent, but here I felt like she was really miscast. I never brought her as this character and I found it kinda strange that she cast as this character in the first place.
Garrett Hedlund as Captain Hook dose what I call a "teeth talking performance", and what I mean is that he shows his teeth a lot to deliver dialogue. Oh and he also sounds like Jack Nicholson mix with Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood, it get's freaking annoying after awhile.
Hugh Jackman as the villain was really over the top and really cartoonist. Jackman is so much better than this.
The movie lacks on character development, the story isn't interesting, the movie felt rushed at times and the cgi in this movie looks unfinished. Seriously, the effect's in the movie look so fake and very noticeable that it's Fant4stic level bad when it comes to visual effect's.
Overall Pan was a giant mess of a film. Hook (1991 film) was way better than this movie. I wanted to like this movie but I couldn't bring myself to say that this is a "good movie", because it's not. As a person who grew up on Peter Pan I couldn't stand this movie.
