If Pan's screenplay is a lesson in anything, it's that most beloved stories don't require a whole cinematic universe to go along with them.

The most cheering surprise of the season is "Pan."
Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Fresh
The film fulfills its limited mandate of providing fast-paced adventure and some nice eye candy without adding anything memorable to the tale of The Boy Who Can Fly.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

The very idea behind Pan is ill-conceived. Who wants a prequel to Peter Pan?
Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine/Vulture

This joyless, juiceless Pan is a theme-park ride from hell.
