Today's post is about the Peter Pan trilogy. Now, I know what you're thinking...there is no Peter Pan trilogy. You're technically correct. There is no one trilogy that involves some of the same production aspects. But I am here to tell you that there is a great Peter Pan trilogy that can provide you a few hours of entertainment.

Part One-Pan |
Let's start with part one of my trilogy:
Pan. Pan was critically panned. (Pun intended) It came out in 2015 and has a 5.8 on
IMDb. I watched it very recently and I think the critics are a bunch of jackasses. The movie does have a few flaws and some very strange choices, but overall, it's a highly entertaining origin story. Hugh Jackman is obviously great, but the story itself is intriguing and different. You certainly have not seen this Peter before.

Part Two-Peter Pan |
The sequel in my made up trilogy is
Peter Pan. Yes, there are many versions of this story and you've probably seen them all. It also has a low rating on
IMDb, but again, I like this quirky live action version. It's not the sugar-coated story of Disney and stage fame, but it's certainly worth your time. Jason Isaacs is particularly yummy.

Part Three-Hook |
And the finale in my trilogy is
Hook. The oldest film in the trilogy is probably the best, even if it has a rating in the middle of the three on
IMDb. Hook is the story of Peter all grown up and one of my favorite Robin Williams films. Dustin Hoffman is also a delight. It's a great story that closes out the trilogy nicely.
There you have it, a great Peter Pan trilogy. You won't regret the time watching all 3.
Hook was the first movie I ever remember seeing in theaters. It's one of my favorites.
