I watched it with a 9- and a 13-year-old girl (my daughters) and my wife. It was definitely the Peter Pan version that best fitted them and also, of course, modern sensibilities. While it was really trying hard to make the old story of white boys fighting and some embarrassing stereotypes (damsel in distress, native Americans etc.) fit modern day's sensibilities I didn't feel the changes were wrong, I kind of cheered and also found it touching to see a boy with Down syndrome get a real role. This Wendy was definitely one that fitted my girls better than the old versions and my older daughter rooted for Captain Hook from the beginning; the character got a nice and interesting new backstory this time. The movie, the action could have been more exciting (that's why it's only 7 stars) but it was pretty well done, a good (even if not great) modern take on the dated original.
