Reviews for Hook
All Spielberg achieved is an impressive production design; in every other department, he's profoundly wasted talent, material, and time.

Hook is overwhelmed by a screenplay heavy with complicated exposition, by what are, in effect, big busy nonsinging, nondancing production numbers and some contemporary cant about rearing children and the high price paid for success.
05/20/03
With all the money and talent and hype that went into this film, it should have been a lot better, but it is entertaining enough to rate a passing grade, especially for Robin Williams fans.

It should have been great but it just doesn't have enough magic dust to fly.

Longo e cansativo, "Hook" é a prova de que o nome de Spielberg nem sempre implica em um bom filme de fantasia.

Bottom of the barrel Spielbergiana

Spielberg gives in to his worst tendencies, and turns Peter Pan into a day-glo mess.
08/13/02
One of Spielberg's rare and true misfires. It's weirdly creepy when it's not being bombastically boring.

No matter how much cash Hook earns, it will take more than pixie dust to fly this overstuffed package into our dreams.

Top CriticThis enormous wheeze comes over like the proverbial movie with a 40 million dollar set and a five cent script, which may hold its interest for under-fives but will leave most others cold.

It's worth a look. But overall, Hook feels like an exercise in cynicism.
01/01/00
The movie is a strong reminder of the freedom of youth and the quest for pure adventure, one that looks to the stars and sees the possibilities are as bright as a child's own imagination.
01/01/00
The exposition is so underlined and re-underlined, you could teach yourself to fly waiting for something to happen.

Top CriticBig, splashy, energetic, one-size-fits-all Hollywood entertainment.

Top CriticHook breaks the cardinal rule of J.M. Barrie's timeless fantasy -- it grows up.
01/01/00
Here we get the uncanny suspicion that Hook was written and directed according to the famous recipe of the country preacher who told the folks what he was going to tell them, told them, and then told them what he had told them.
