Jude Law makes a great Captain Hook, but the movie is joyless and confused.
, a sequel which saw Peter as a grown-up yuppie struggling to reconnect with his past self — but mine is still a minority view.represents Disney’s official live-action remake of the studio’s 1953 hit.
These are well-meaning changes, but they’re surface ones, and the characters haven’t been transformed in any fundamental ways — which means that there are gaping holes where their motivations and souls should be. The film fares better with turning Tiger Lily from a damsel in distress to an indigenous warrior who joins in with Peter and the Lost Boys in their battles against Hook and the pirates. She at least gets some stuff to do this time.
The picture redeems itself mightily, however, with Law’s Captain Hook, whom the actor plays as a total psychopath. His performance is in some senses an extension of Dustin Hoffman’s marvelous turn in Spielberg’s, where the pirate captain was portrayed as a whimpering weirdo. To be fair, it’s a great part. Hook’s obsession with Pan, ostensibly the result of the boy’s slicing off the older man’s hand, has always been more pathological than vengeful.
In most other respects, the movie is a mess. It certainly didn’t need to be. Lowery also made 2016’s lovelyremake, where the studio seemed to give him the freedom to do with the original as he saw fit.
