I'm a huge Robin Williams and Steven Spielberg fan. When I heard they made a movie together, I thought "Wow! That'd be worth seeing!" However, in the end I was dissapointed with both of their efforts.... Full review

This was one of the best movies I have ever seen. Because it was based after a popular children's story was touching. It made me feel like a kid again. The acting was great, although I never found out who played... Full review

I really liked Hook back when I was a kid (a neighborhood friend and I would ride our bikes around town and crow to our heart's content). But every time I revisit the film I seem to dislike it more... Full review

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. ... Full Review

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. ... Full Review

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. ... Full Review
