Summary: Interesting Concept, Executed Well
Review: What if Peter Pan did grow up, and even forget who he was? Robin Williams plays Peter, now head-hunting, merger-master, take-over artist executive, trying to find a minute here and there for his family. They visit the aging Wendy (Maggie Smith), and the evil Captain Hook kidnaps Peter's kids. The only way Peter can get the back is to remember who he is and recover his old magic.Robin Williams does a good job playing the busy executive with a good heart in there somewhere. Dustin Hoffman steals the show, though, as the deliciously evil, delightfully over-the-top Captain Hook. The story is good, although it drags a bit about a third of the way through. This is not a film to watch over and over and over again, but it can be enjoyed once every two years or so.

Summary: Slow moving and overlong
Review: This movie could have been great but it is far from it.
It is probably one of the worst movies Robin Williams
and Dustin Hoffman ever made. It is slow moving and
about an hour too long. Most of the scenes with the Lost
Boys could have been eliminated.

Summary: What a wonderful telling of an old tale
Review: I have always loved Robin Williams and this movie did nothing, but strengthen that love. This is the story of Peter Pan with a few additions to the traditional tale, but they compliment the original story well.

Summary: Good ol' fun
Review: I remember when I saw this film way back when, and now that I've just seen it again last night, I remember just how great it is! It's a wonderful jaunt though the world of the imagination, an escape to a world that has enthralled readers and filmwatchers for decades. 'Hook' is a lighthearted break from reality suited for anyone who enjoys a little fantasy.

Summary: An excellent movie
Review: I love this movie. Actually, I love anything that Steven Speilburg directs, but hey. This movie is a good follow-up to Peter Pan, with everything from funny moments to special effects. It dragged on a little at the beginning, but after that it was great fun. I love all the suspense (such as when the hook on the window is opening; or when the dead crocodile comes back to life for a moment and eats Hook) and I love all the scenery (such as the full views of Never Land). If you want to see a decent Peter Pan sequel thing, rent it. You most likely won't be disappointed.

Summary: Not what I'd call the original
Review: So Robin Williams is Peter Pan? And I'm the Knight in Shining Armor. And the only reason Julia Roberts is Tinkerbell (which isn't much of a role), is that she is Julia Roberts. Dustin Hoffman is laughable as Hook, as is Bob Hoskins as Smee. In fact, this whole episode is an embarrassment to J.M. Barrie, and I'd recommend you read the book instead. The one called Peter Pan, or rent or buy Mary Martin's Peter Pan. Cyril Ritchard was much better as Hook. Captain, that is.

Summary: To Always Be A Little Boy and Have Fun
Review: "A children, except for one, grow up." So starts a classic tale that has captured children's imaginations for generations. I have never met anyone who didn't know the story of Peter Pan, nor have I ever known a person who at some point in their childhood didn't vow to never grow up. When I was very young, though, the thought crossed my mind, "What if Peter Pan did grow up?" For those who wonder, we have Hook. Unfortunately, this movie is highly under-rated for petty reasons. Some people claim that the modernizing of the Lost Boys was wrong because there was no basketball or skateboards when the book was written. You can make many excuses as to why Spielberg made that choice, but there is a very practical reason for it - if this movie was released to children in the 1990s then the children would have to be able to idenify with the Lost Boys, recognize that they were living a life of fun and adventure - by modern standards. The other critisicm is usually directed towards Spielberg himself, saying that he needed to stop doing children's movies. That is, of course, ridiculous. Spielberg is the ultimate storyteller, no matter what story he chooses, and no one has the right to tell him what kind of movies he should be doing. The truth is, the movie is magical. When I first watched it as a little girl in the movie theatre I was blown away. Robin Williams was the perfect Peter Pan, and made a wonderful transition betweeen the cold business man to his old alter ego. Maggie Smith gives a moving performance as Wendy. I remember watching the scene where Peter's son Jack tells Wendy what Peter does for a living and Jack tells Wendy about how his father "sails in, and if there's any resistance he blows them out of the water!" My heart caught in my chest as I saw Wendy, with a mix of amusment and sadness on her face say, "So... Peter you've become a pirate!" On the other side you have a brilliant portrayal of the terrible Captain Hook by Dustin Hoffman. Hoffman puts his own brilliant twist on the role, but still leaves the quirkyness, humor and tragedy of the Hook we all adore. Bob Hoskins compliments him perfectly with his performance as Smee. There is a lot of sadness to this movie as the audience sees that the Peter Pan everyone has known has forgotten how to fly, fight and crow. It broke my heart when the Lost Boys finally realize that Williams really is Peter Pan and you hear one of them say, "Peter... you grew up. You promised never to grow up Peter." We get our Peter Pan back, of course, and with the accompniment of another amazing John Williams score we feel the magic of Neverland once more. Who will like this movie? It depends on what kind of person you are. Some say it's too long, but as a child my eyes never left the screen for a moment. The REAL question is - Do you believe? Yes, that's the question - Do you believe that Neverland is really just a place between sleep and awake... that it's all a dream? Or do you believe it's really there - you've got your happy thought, you believe in fairies and you're ready to fly on the back of the wind? If you believe the latter, if you are a child at heart, then this movie will touch a special place in your soul - the place that never grew up...

Summary: Interesting idea of What Might Happen if Peter Pan Grew Up
Review: I like movies with a Pirate theme and though not the best Pirate themed movie and not quite as good as Disney's animated Peter Pan I actually liked Hook and I think Dustin Hoffman, Robin Williams, Bob Hoskins and Maggie Smith all gave excellent performances, I thought the the kids who played Peter's children were good especially the girl who played his daughter, and I liked the old man who kept saying he lost his marbles and I liked most of the lost boys except for the obnoxious one. Dustin Hoffman was often delightully over-the-top as Hook and he looked like he had a lot of fun playing him so it's a fun movie to watch.
