Steven Spielberg's "Hook" is as disappointing as it is remarkable. Filled with beauty and wonderful performances, "Hook" manages only one thing: making us wish it were shorter. At a bloated 144 minutes, it just proves the fact that Spielberg can sometimes... Full review

For those familiar with J.M. Barrie's wonderful literary creation, it's an intriguing question, and a great movie premise.
The real standout here is Dustin Hoffman, who's a surprisingly good Hook but is given woefully little to do other than snarl and rant.

Disappointment, then, is understandable for anyone expecting something more meditative than a spirited, sometimes mawkish adventure film.....There are pleasures like that throughout Hook....What's most puzzling about the film itself is its title, and its stance as a re-imagining of the Peter Pan story.....It's tempting to blame the casting of Julia Roberts as Tink....parts of Hook feel so hastily Spielbergian, so saturated with an overbearing John Williams score, so eager for uplift to counter the story's d ...

No, Hook is not nearly as bad as its reputation suggests.
So there is something of a missed opportunity in Hook , but much of what remains is quite charming.
Its true that Hook displays a less sophisticated, less wizardly Spielberg.

In short, it's a wonderful movie that a lot of people just plain don't like.
In a desperate attempt to save the glamorous war that Hook so desperately wants, he grants Peter three days to get into shape.
Hook is a movie you either love or hate.
