When his young children are abducted by his old nemesis, Capt. Hook (Dustin Hoffman) middle-aged lawyer Peter Banning (Robin Williams) returns to his magical origins as Peter Pan. Peter must revisit a foggy past in which he abandoned Neverland for family life, leaving Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) and the Lost Boys to fend for themselves. Given their bitterness toward Peter for growing up -- and their allegiance to their new leader, Rufio -- the old gang may not be happy to see him.

Critics Consensus

The look of Hook is lively indeed but Steven Spielberg directs on autopilot here, giving in too quickly to his sentimental, syrupy qualities.

It's not fair to kids. With all his technical flair, Spielberg has created the equivalent of the 70-year-old with dyed hair, troweled makeup, in tie-dyes and high tops. And in doing that, messed with Neverland. Spielberg is old enough to know better.

3/4

Spielberg does to us precisely what he does to Peter Banning -- he engineers a return to our childhoods, to experiences both pleasurable and painful.

The result is his most sentimental film, because unlike E.T. it refuses to take up residence within a child's mind, preferring to stay outside and fantasise about it. Condescension is no way to treat a fable.

3/4

It is as clear an example of American cinematic know-how, lush extravagance, culture and cultural imperialism as you're ever likely to see.

Terrific movie 10 stars.

Spielberg, Roberts, Williams, Smith and Hoffman and a John Williams OST should be a reciepe for success. But with a surpriseless plot, placid acting, mishandled action sequences, inexistant character development and some of the worst dialogue that could ever be written, this iseasily the biggest disappointment of the past half century. Maybe 6 yo can appreciate the coulors though.

Hook looks great, acted great, and has a mature take on the Pan character despite which help its sappy moments

Very fun and inspirational. Sometimes the best stories aren't the ones with the plot twists and drama, but redemptive messages of hope and child-like happiness

Although I feel Hook fails in quite a few areas, it also goes great in other ones. I love Robin Williams and he did a great job in this film. I also loved Captain Hook, I thought that they did a great job adapting him into a live-action movie. Besides doing a great job on the Peter Pan and Captain Hook, Hook also did a great job creating a completely new story, a completely new Neverland, and still keep the imagination from the original story of Peter Pan. Although I liked Pan and Hook, I didn't care for Tinkerbell or all the kids from Neverland. I wish that we could have received a more magical Tinkerbell, I think that that was a major problem in the film. Tinkerbell is one of the most beloved characters from the original Peter Pan and to make her less magical was a huge let down. I also didn't like how they did the kids, a lot of their ways of life are really weird and felt like they hardly brought anything to the movie. Overall Hook is just ok, showing a lot of great concepts but not always coming through.
