when i first come to imdb to look up this movie and i be very surprised at all the negative criticism and backlash that it have generate . i have watch the movie when it come out and find it very pleasant and enjoyable and and re watch it again just recently and i still find it a very good movie the movie strong point to me be the scenery and design and the storyline and the music and the quality of act by most of the cast . these factor combine ensure that the movie for the most part live up to it potential and remain intriguing and gripping and heartwarming throughout . it have all the hallmark of a successful spielberg production and the movie be all the more better for itrobin williams performance a peter pan or peter banning be very good in both his role a a professional businessman too busy for his child andas the reincarnation of peter pan later on in the movie . i do understand where many critic be come from when they say that he have a propensity to go over the top in his acting during some part of themovie but he good at portray both a serious and funny side and i think that make him the perfect choice for this role . dustin hoffman and bob smee be both delightful in their role a the evil villain and maggie smith do a great job a wendy . there be some point on which i agree with the critic . julia robert be a horrible choice to play tinkerbell . i find her annoying from the start and she fail to give the character the charm and depth that it need to succeed . the lost boy be terrible they come across a bratty and overindulge hoodlum rather than young and innocent and mischievous child and it be quite impossible to feel any empathy with or them they be good actor but badly write character nevertheless and despite these flaw and this be still a worthwhile and enjoyable movie that i think young child will enjoy .
