This is a prequel dealing with Peter Pan (Charlie Rowe) as an orphan on the streets of London. Peter and his band of thieves work as pickpockets. Their evil mentor Jimmy Hook (Rhys Ifans) gets them to steal a magical treasure which transports them to Neverland. Once there Hook join with a group of pirates led by Elizabeth Bonny (Anna Friel) in search of more magic dust. Peter lands with the Indians and the beautiful Aaya (Q'orianka Kilcher) where the people don't age.

The story lack any pace. It drags along. With 240 minutes, this is way too long. It doesn't help that they explain away the magic. It reminds me of Star Wars explaining away The Force. Why can't they leave it alone? The acting is acceptable. All the big name give the expected performance. Charlie Rowe as Peter Pan is average. As for the production, it's got TV movie level. It's nothing to brag about. It's dark and dreary. Again all the magic is gone.

My Wife & I really looked forward to this special show and were so disappointed. The characters were interesting in the beginning and then mostly not that likable. Plot so far off and jazzed up with low budget special effects from the original story that it was painful to watch at some points. The events in Neverland were so "Dark" that it was hard to feel good at the end. Poor editing for the TV-Commercial format were like they literally chopped scenes for commercials. The most abrupt ending going to credits and commercials for the next shows not appreciated. SyFy Channel used to do better. Wished we had back the (3)hours of viewing time for something better. Feel sorry for everyone who watched the full 4 hours with commercials.

I love ❤️ this movie series & it was the best ever charlie Rowe played awesome Peter Pan he was amazing brilliant actor and Rhys Ifans played awesome Captain Hook to and Anna Friel played awesome captain Bonny as well and It was good to see Bob Hoskins again as Smee and the special effects were amazing and now I know how peter and Hook became enemies and how Peter cut off Hooks hand and why they became enemies for good and how peter chose not to grow up and he chose to stay in Neverland and how peter learned to fly it was funny to when he realised was in the air but I love ❤️ every minute of it this movie and series nick willing did a fantastic job on this and how peter came to be aka Peter Pan and best part is using a magic orb to transform them to Neverland so I will give this movie and to series a 10 - 10 well done to actor s and cast and crew
