I gotta give the Scyfy channel some credit. It sure knows how to be creative with its works. This prequel sure hits the nail as an adventurous spin-off of one of the most beloved fairy tales in history.
We see that before they became the worst of enemies, Peter Pan and James Hooke were close friends who, along with the lost boys, get sucked into Neverland by a mysterious orb. Here they encounter menacing pirates led by the attractive but cruel Captain Elizabeth Bonny, peaceful Indians, Tinkerbell and her fellow fairies, and monstrous crocodiles. With the fate of Neverland and everyone in it at stake, Peter must become the hero he was meant to be in order to save the day.
This miniseries has plenty of good qualities. The cast is great and character development is fairly complex, especially the relationship between Peter and James (played by Rhys Ifans). The story is very intriguing with lots of cool and sometimes shocking twists. There's lots of good action too, from the sword fights to the crocodile chase.
My only problems are that Tinkerbell looks a little ugly up close and I was hoping that the crocodiles, particularly the one that will eventually go after Hooke, would have a larger in this.
Overall, this is probably one of the best projects the Scyfy channel has ever made. Nicely done and very subtle. Go see this cool miniseries and let it enchant you with its charm. Don't let the crocodiles bite!
