      What to know

      Critics Consensus

      The look of Hook is lively indeed but Steven Spielberg directs on autopilot here, giving in too quickly to his sentimental, syrupy qualities. Read critic reviews

      Movie Info

      When his young children are abducted by his old nemesis, Capt. Hook (Dustin Hoffman), middle-aged lawyer Peter Banning (Robin Williams) returns to his magical origins as Peter Pan. Peter must revisit a foggy past in which he abandoned Neverland for family life, leaving Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) and the Lost Boys to fend for themselves. Given their bitterness toward Peter for growing up -- and their allegiance to their new leader, Rufio -- the old gang may not be happy to see him.

        This is another Spielberg film I have not seen, until now. Far better than I thought it would be. Strong performances, and even an appearance from Phil Collins, keep the film going, when things start to get too sickly.

        Reminds me the first Spielberg film ever to be the worst.

        Hook, Steven Spielberg's most notorious film, is a colossal blunder that fails spectacularly. This re-imagining of James Barrie's classic tale finds Peter Pan all grown-up and returning to Neverland to rescue his children from the clutches of Captain Hook. With an all-star cast that includes Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Bob Hoskins, and Julia Roberts, one would think that the film couldn't go wrong; but somehow Spielberg found a way. The most atrocious aspect of the film are the re-imaged Lost Boys; which are written as bad '90s caricatures. Additionally, the special effects and set designs are astoundingly poor (which seems unimaginable for a Spielberg film). John Williams delivers a wonderfully enchanting score, but it can only do so much to help the film. Yet, the film has a few magical moments and there's a charm to some of the characters. Hook is a messy, remarkably poor film that's mildly entertaining, but it fails to live up to the spirit of Barrie's classic.
