Hook
To rescue his children, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland and battle an old enemy.... and rediscover the child in himself
Directed by Steven Spielberg and nominated for five Academy Awards, Hook stars Robin Williams as Peter Banning, a 40-year-old corporate takeover lawyer who has lost any memory of being Peter Pan. Peter and his family travel to London to visit Granny Wendy (Maggie Smith) and his children are asleep in the same bedroom where the original Peter Pan story began, when there is a blinding flash. Peter comes into the room to discover a note from Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman), informing Peter that he has kidnapped his children. Granny Wendy now tells him who he really is and encourages him to transform himself into the Peter Pan of the past. With the encouragement of Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts), Peter once again takes wing, and it's off to Neverland to rescue his kids.
Starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts
Product Description
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 the 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, of 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.

Steven Spielberg's deeply flawed but sporadically fun and moving update of the Peter Pan legend stars Robin Williams as the grown-up Pan, a corporate-takeover type who must embrace his old identity in order to save his kids from Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman). The stars put on a good show, including Hoffman's read of Hook's hysterical personality, Julia Roberts mini-turn as a tiny Tinker Bell, and Maggie Smith's touching performance as the aged Wendy. The visual contrast between the adult Pan's bustling outside world and the insulated fantasy of Neverland is striking, but Spielberg's ideas about the Lost Boys--politically correct in their ethnic diversity, energetic on skateboards--are contrived and cheapening. On the plus side, the story's theme about adults finding their innocence again through their children is very touching (though some people have found it cloying). If you can look beyond the glaring problems, there's plenty to like here. --Tom Keogh

Okay, I will admit, I was laughing at the idea that this movie even existed. I mean, "Peter Pan, all grown up, married, and has kids", that wasn't the original Peter Pan that I knew at all. I at first thought it was a bad idea that this movie was even made and I made fun of it. But then... I found out that Steven Spielberg himself directed the movie and everything changed. I watched it and I my mouth hang open from shock after the movie was over. "Hook" is one of the greatest adaptions ever created in the history of Peter Pan!
The story is very simple. Peter Pan has grown up, having fallen in love with a girl named Moira, who happens to be the granddaughter of the now elderly Wendy Darling. Having married Moira and had two kids, our hero has forgotten his time in Neverland and has become a regular person. But when Hook returns and kidnaps his children, Peter must return to Neverland, regain his memories, and team back up with the Lost Boys in order to save his children, while finally face his deadliest nemesis for the final time.
With the work of the greatest director of all time, Steven Spielberg, Hook turned out to be one of the greatest movies of all time. Steven Spielberg delivers his version of Peter Pan and shows us what happens when the "boy who wouldn't grow up" actually grows up. Dustin Hoffman plays a great villain inside Hook, bringing his evil side to life and also showing us what he would be like in real life if he was real. Robin Williams delivers his best performance as a older Peter Pan, showing us his life without Neverland. Maggie Smith and Gwyneth Paltrow create such awesome versions of Wendy Darling, who has lived a full life and has us tearing up at how things used to be in the old days.
The emotion inside this story is so heartfelt and beautiful, you will literally cry. Rufio, the Lost Boys (including elderly Tootles), Wendy, Tinkerbell, and even Peter himself make the best moments of this movie so worth watching. Old characters like Wendy and Tootles will have you missing the old times when they were all young and going on adventures with Peter. Rufio and the Lost Boys provide the greatest fun and adventures for us to watch and be entertained by. And Peter will give you the most greatest story about learning to deal with your past and moving on. Just his old saying "to die would be awfully big adventure", he now understands that "to live would be an awfully big adventure". You will be loving the emotion from all around the movie.
This film was done so beautifully and amazingly, that we are able to call this "the greatest Peter Pan movie of all time"!
This movie is very highly recommendable for Peter Pan fans. You will not be disappointed! Even kids will love it too! :)
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.
Sure do miss Robin Williams!!

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.
