Film-Rezensionen: Pan (2015) (Englisch)

Pan

I've seen it, and I enjoyed it, because it's colorful, entertaining and full of surprises! Maybe I'm naive, maybe I'm easy to please, but isn't that what a Pan story should be like? Shouldn’t it lure you away from the (right now autumn) gray world, make you leave reality behind and enter a fantasy world full of adventures and crazy creatures? The 3D scenery is awesome, the 111 minutes seem like a rollercoaster ride: it’s loud, fast and shrill and when it’s over you want to go again!

Young Levi Miller is touching and credible, full of doubts, but with the courage to stand up for his beliefs. Hugh Jackman delivers an extraordinary performance and once again shows his exceptional versatilty as the wicked and vain Blackbeard!

If you’re young at heart this is the movie for you and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it as much as I did. But if you’re old, dry and hard-headed, stay away, don’t spoil the mood for us believers! And if you’re a Rotten Tomatoes critic: spill your hatred somewhere else, shut up and just go away!!!
