Product Description

A high-flying adventure from the magic of Steven Spielberg, HOOK stars Robin Williams as a grown-up Peter Pan and Dustin Hoffman as the infamous Captain Hook. Joining the fun is Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell, Bob Hoskins as the pirate Smee, and Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy Darling, who must convince middle-aged lawyer Peter Banning that he was once the legendary Peter Pan. And so the adventure begins anew, with Peter off to Neverland to save his two children from Captain Hook. Along the way, he rediscovers the power of imagination, friendship, and of magic. A classic tale updated for children of all ages, HOOK was nominated for five 1991 Academy Awards(r) including Best Visual Effects.

What a wonderfully made movie. Robin williams is terrific in this fairytale. I am 56 and yes i bought this for me. I have 6 kids that the irst few grew up watching this. I like the fact its not a cartoon, Its well produced. Theres no swearing or nudity. Because you can make a great box office smash without either of those things in it. Dustin Hoffman is great in this as well. Its a movie for all ages!!
Thank you for your feedback

I was totally enthralled by the dazzling remake of J.M. Barrie's classic story of the boy who did not grow up that came out last year from director P.J. Hogan. So I decided to go back and reconsider Steven Spielberg's 1991 film "Hook." In this version it turns out that Peter Pan did grow up. He fell in love with Wendy's granddaughter, Moira, decided to stay in our world, and does not remember anything that happened before the age of 12. With heavy-handed irony, Peter turns out to be a corporate raider (in other words, a pirate), who not only does not remember what it is like to be a child, he also ignores his own children. However, that all changes when Captain Hook makes his way to Granny Wendy's London home and kidnaps Peter's two children, Jack and Maggie. Tinkerbell shows up to help Peter remember who he is and take him to Never-Land to save the day.
A lot of Spielberg's films deal with the theme of the absent father and clearly a key part of "Hook" is that Peter, the father, remembers not only his true self but his own children. But the film does not provide the sense of magic we expect from Spielberg and I want to make the argument that the problem is not so much the story as it is the casting. You simply cannot have Robin Williams in a movie like this and not expect him to be Robin Williams, which means that several key scenes get spun in a way that is not necessarily in the best interest of the story. Throw into the mix Dustin Hoffman having fun playing Captain Hook, Bob Hoskins having almost as much fun playing Smee, and Julia Roberts as a very talkative Tinkerbell, and you have a lot of star power running around on screen.
The problem for me is what happens to Rufio, King of the Lost Boys, because that event changes the whole equation at play here. Because of what happens Peter cannot let Captain Hook off the hook, yet that is exactly what he does. I suppose it was too much for either Peter Pan or Robin Williams to do what had to be done in those circumstances, but this forces the film to come up with a way to have the right thing happen, albeit it in a comic way, without Peter having to get his hands dirty. Still I came back to what happened to Rufio and as the end game plays out in Never-Land I know in my heart that this is just not right.
The idea that the casting of the principles is off is confirmed for me when we get back to London town. The reaction of Caroline Goodall's Moira when her children come back and Maggie Smith's performance from start to finish as Granny Wendy seem to me to be grounded in the film that this one should have been. If Dame Maggie had been the only recognizable name in this film and the others had been even relative unknowns, then the message in "Hook" might have worked. In other words, this needed to be a Steven Spielberg film and not a Robin Williams movie. There is a lot of power to be mined from Barrie's original story, which is exactly what Hogan proved in creating the best "Peter Pan" movie of them all.

Great movie. A man does get stabbed and dies and there are a few scary parts (and Hook considers suicide) so I skip a few parts when my boys watch. Otherwise, it's a great movie.

5.0 out of 5 stars I still love it...
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 24, 2020
Have any of you got that one film in your collection that no matter how many times people put it down, you just can't help but love it? For me, that film will always be Hook. I still remember going into the cinema as a kid and being drawn in by the magical world of Peter Pan. Everything was larger than life and was a breathe of fresh air. The older I got, the more I discovered that people really don't like the film. But I've never managed to see the movie from that perspective.

I recently bought the bluray release so I could introduce it to my five year old girl. She recently fell in love with Aladdin and Jumanji. Two films I grew up with, mainly because I simply adored Robin Williams. It kind of made me think, what would she think of the crazy world of Hook. I proceeded to pick it up for £4 and It was the first time I had sat down and watch the movie in a number of years. Seeing her little face light up just brought back so many good memories of being a child. She adored everything from the hilariously over the top pirates to the relatable lost boys. Tinker Bell and the Mermaids looked really pretty too (Dad agrees!). It was like everything she wanted in a film, wrapped up in a ball of pixy dust and left to run wild in her imagination. The exact same reactions I had thirty years ago.

Seeing the movie from an adults perspective was interesting. I'm not one to let nostalgia take over. I am like everyone else and do enjoy going back to those old memories. But I understand the sets look a bit cheap, some of the costumes are silly and the whole end fight is just beyond ridiculous. God knows how multi-coloured custard pies and marbles were going to subdue and destroy an army of pirates, but they do and it is still silly to this day.

With that said, I also saw a film that has a sort of innocence that we don't see in family films now. There's plenty of jokes for kids, plenty slipped under the table for the adults (the suicidal Hook scene. Hilarious!) and many great scenes. The actors makes the best of it. Duston Hoffman and Bob Hoskins steal the show by far. Those two had great chemistry here and I was in stitches with their antics (probably can't do that now). I won't deny it, I think I shed a bit of a tear when I saw the smile on Robin Williams. There's something about that man as an actor that always had a place in my heart. He could let off the slightest look and make me laugh. Seeing him here in all his glory was just wonderful. We don't have actors like Robin anymore and I'll cherish everything he did.

Then there is the score. I tell you, everyone remembers John Williams for his beautiful scores from Star Wars, Superman, Jurassic Park etc. But in my honest opinion, his work never surpassed this movie. The music in Hook did everything it was required to do. It gave the film a wonderful amount of emotion, a magnificent sense of adventure and gave every scene a wonderful hook or melody to latch onto. The score is very much like E.T. in that it just tugs at your heart strings at the right moments. I went so far as to actually buy the soundtrack CD. It's now up there with some of my favourites.

Hook really wasn't appreciated when it came out, not by certain crowds. But people of my generation grew up loving this movie. It sure is silly, a little childish and very over the top. That however, that is the point. It's suppose to make you feel like a child. It's suppose to make you think of your happy thoughts, just long enough to go to Neverland. As an adult, I have grown to love this movie. It has its flaws and there's no denying they are there. But we don't see movies like Hook anymore and that a lone is enough encouragement to break this film out for my kids. I recommend picking this one up. It's great family entertainment, a film that has held up rather well.
