Movie Reviews of Hook
Movie Review: Hook is one of the greatest stories ever told...
Summary: 5 Stars
I used to watch this movie every day when I was younger on VHS, and I got the DVD last month and have watched it 3 times since getting it. (Buena Girl has it now, but I don't know if she's watched it...I hope she likes it as much as I do). I always liked the story of Peter Pan, but I especially liked this version. It is a real moving film, with it's emotional parts that are very important for both kids and adults to relate with, such as family issues, and having the courage to stand up for yourself to overcome overwhelming odds. It also, true to all Peter Pan stories, allows you to realize that theres a kid inside of all of us, and what this movie does that others don't do, is allow us to see that even though the kid in us is hard to find once we get older, it is still there and if we look hard enough we will find it. A great movie!!!Movie Review: Curmudgeons, Get a Life!

Some people think you have to be "3 years old or in a coma" to enjoy this film. Rubbish! My wife and I are well-educated and well into our "senior" years, but far from senile. We think this is one of Spielberg's very best, an unmitigated treat from beginning to end. The cast is superb from top to bottom, and we also think John Williams's score has some of his very best music. (For confirmation, listen to the series of excerpts he recorded with the Boston Pops by programing your player to skip the other tracks. Each piece stands on its own without the film's images to support it.) Finally, we think those who hate the film have the same problem Peter has when he first sits down to "eat" with the Lost Boys in Neverland: a lack of imagination and sense of fun. They need to loosen up and, as the saying goes, get a life.Movie Review: Underrated masterpiece!

You must see this movie! It is a spectacular wonder. Robin Williams as the slightly neurotic Peter Banning (Pan) gives a fabulous performance. Julia Roberts is adequate in the role of Tinkerbell. However, there are two other stars in this movie that steal the show (which is hard to do when Robin Williams is in the movie). Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy gives an endearing performance. Even moreso, Dustin Hoffman is Captain James Hook. There is no one who could have played this role except Dustin Hoffman. His performance could make you believe that Captain Hook really exists. Under it all, John Williams' score is breathtaking. Unbelievable movie, performances and score. Five underrated stars!!!Movie Review: The absolute best movie...ever!

As of this writing, I am 22 years old. When this hit theaters, I was but a small child. I saw it in theaters, bought the VHS the day it came out and DVD the day it came out. Through seeing hundreds and hundreds of movies, this movie tops my list as my favorite movie of all time. Of course, I'm a huge Peter Pan fan and Steven Spielberg, but it is a great movie. Everyone always wanted to know WHAT IF Peter Pan grew up. Underlying theme of the movie is no matter how old you get, age doesn't change how you think or how you act. I can't go on enough on how good this movie is, just watch it and love it. The music of the movie makes me cry, it's so good!!!!Movie Review: It's Everything it Should Be
Summary: 5 Stars
"Hook" is a highly entertaining movie that is appropriate for children and adults. The music is energetic and keeps the movie rolling on. Robin Williams is humerous, but Dustin Hoffman steals the show as the childish fiend, Captain Hook {that's why it's called "Hook"). Bob Hoskins also shines in his role as Hook's sidekick, Mr. Smee. In the end, the film is intended for families, so it does contain the usual sappy drama, but therein also lies the charm of the film. The film is meant to entertain people of all ages, and, if you don't take yourself too seriously, you will be entertained.
