Hook (DVD) > Reviews

Advantages: Hofmann
Disadvantages: A bit dull

...hooks and flowing syrups, Hofmann's Hook is a wonder to behold, sinister and sleazy with too much facial hair for his own good. He just oozes unpleasantness along with the nasty smell, and you can't help rooting for him to see off the clearly distracted and directionless Williams. It's quite a faithful reworking of the original story, just moving the action on a few decades with the grown up Pan back among the Lost Boys who have never grown ... Read review

Advantages: None, excrable rubbish.
Disadvantages: See opinion.

...a badly drawn cartoon island.

Advantages: A great Movie, suitable for all the family
Disadvantages: Mainly appeals to Children

...his children are kidnapped by Hook and he is forced to return to NeverNeverland to get them back. In doing so he has to remember how to be Peter Pan. The result is an entertaining movie that is mainly directed at children, but some adults will enjoy it the first time they see it. The cast includes Dustin Hoffman as Hook, Bob Hoskins as Smee and Robin Williams as Peter Panning. All put in very good performances and make it a film well worth showing ... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

Hook represents so much to me. I believe that it has a great message for our society and the way we live today. In our adult life, we tend to leave (and sometimes scoff) our childhood behind as if it never existed at all. In the movie, Peter has grown up and forgotten his past. This change makes him a crass, terrible person, focusing only on work instead of his family. During the movie, he finds himself and his childhood memories and becomes a better, ... Read review

Advantages: The story line
Disadvantages: Not enough action

Hook is kind of like the original peter pan story but brought in to the future to see what actually happened to him. Its the adult and real version of the classic movie and brought in to a film instead of a cartoon. Peter Pan finally came back to see his beloved Wendy one day but she was too old for him now and couldnt travel to never never land back with him. But he sees her daughter lieing in bed asleep and he fell deeply in love with her! He ... Read review

Advantages: Kids will like it
Disadvantages: Adults will hate it

Hook is one of those films that must have looked pretty good on paper, but just hasn't worked very well as a film, for some reason. A continuation of Peter Pan, Hook finds the boy who refused to grow up now a middle-aged, married accountant type who is too preoccupied with work to tend to his kids. However, when the kids are somehow kidnapped by Captain Hook and taken back to Never Never Land, Peter Pan is forced to return to the land he had long ... Read review

Advantages: GREAT CAST
Disadvantages: -

...children are kidnapped by Captain Hook and his accomplice Smee (Bob Hoskins) that Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) take him back to his adventure land to rescue them. The nasty Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) has been plotting the death of Peter Pan ever since his disappearance and when the pair meet up, Captain Hook doesn’t believe that the fully grown man with no powers is the real Peter Pan. So, that gives Peter some time to remember his talents ... Read review
