Why didn't this work?

Profits don't mean a movie was a success in any way but financially. The majority of movie-goers and makers feel this was a disaster and it was. That is a flop. And this was a huge one.

Must have missed the part about anyones personal thoughts (even if mainstream) is an opinion. We judge all other industries on financial success, and this should be no other This movie, while had major flaws, was not a flop, and the money proves it.

And since movies are financially driven, it was a success.

Even Spielberg hated it.he said on radio its the movie of his he'd like to see again, just to see if he could find anything he liked out it (reference Spielberg intervie on Mark Kermode and Simon Mayo radio show)

Yeah, it was not his best work, and he may look at that as his "wish I hadnt" movie, but that does not change the fact it was a financial success.

I love this movie, I think it's criminally underrated myself. My favorite thing about this movie, is John Williams' music score. I agree as said earlier that sets looked too "stagey." I know the original Peter Pan was on a stage but under the direction of Steven Spielberg you think he would've used better cinematography like he did in the Indiana Jones movies (except for Crystal Skull), you felt like you were there where it took place. Hook's Neverland reminded me of Batman Returns' Gotham. Imagine Hook remade with the effects and visuals as seen in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies, that would be awesome.

It did work. What are you talking about? Millions of people love this film. Clearly it worked. I remember this being one of my favorite movies as a kid. I remember buying the toys even. This movie worked.
