Deviates too much

Hook as a movie is fine. But to those out there who treasure the story and brilliance of J.M. Barrie, it is simply dreadful. Being one who acted in a stage performance of the original play (as Curly), this film is seen as a travesty. There are too many instances that important details are overlooked. For example, there were originally 6 lost boys; Curly, Tootles, Nibs, Slightly, First Twin, and Second Twin. Then Peter. There are seven doors for seven boys, but in this film there's one big-ass door and a hollowed out tree, not the house under-the-ground. Also, where are the red skins? They are a vital part of the story! And another thing, since Peter is pretty much the only boy left on the Neverland (the lost boys decide to live with the darlings) where did this plethora of 20 to 30 lost boys appear from? And how the hell did Ruffio get there, if Peter was the only one who could bring people to and from? And how did that fat black kid know Tootles if Tootles left before all of other lost boys came? There's too many holes and deviations. It is a bad representation of Peter Pan.
