I don't care what the critics say

This moving made a huge impact on me as a child. I thought the lost boys were the coolest version I've ever seen. As an adult watching this movie it still hasn't lost any of its original charm and it reminds me to not always take myself so seriously. When you do, you end up losing a bit of yourself that gets harder to get back. Maybe they didn't intend to impart this deeper meaning in the movie, but I still love it.

Underrated

The most underrated Steven Spielberg film ever made. Critics do not seem to understand how brilliant it is because they are stuffy adults. They relate more to the Pirates than the children. Any kid watching this movie knows exactly what it's like to be a child and any adult that hasn't completely forgotten their childhood understands how easy it is to lose their way.

Robin Williams was incredible in 99% of everything h did. I never like the Peter Pan story but this version is actually good and fun. Peter has grown up and is a lawyer now totally forgetting who he is and Neverland. Neverland is in trouble from Captain Hook so they need Peter Pan. They get him but he doesn't remember who he really is. After A LOT of crazy times and adventures he remembers. Great cast from Robin to Julia Roberts and Dustin Hoffman and several others. GREAT family movie fun.

Robin Williams makes this a classic

Reviewed in the United States on November 1, 2019

Quick Story recap: Peter Pan grows up and is a boring old man until his kids are taken to Neverland and Peter Pan must return to his roots to save his kids

Acting: Robin William and Dustin Hoffman are perfect. I don't think the pair can be topped. Why can forget the cult hero Rufio? I mean this is what people quote the most right? haha

Overall, it's fun. Robin William's is already great but he really makes the role breathe. The movie is getting on in years now, and it may one day look really outdated but to me, I'll always come back and enjoy this movie and some of the goofy comedy bits included in it --Run Home Jack and then Home Run Jack seems to still make me still every time.

Great movie, but had its flaws

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2019

Hook is undeniably a cult classic of the 90's. Robin Williams played an excellent role as Peter. Having forgot that he was ever Peter Pan, he becomes a stuffed shirt exec that has very little time for his family or anything that gets in the way of his business; that is, until he finds himself in Neverland again. I love his role in this movie and everyone did a great job in the movie, BUT I did dislike how they portrayed Tinkerbell in the movie. They made Peter a love interest for her and it shows, painfully I might add, that they wanted an excuse to put Julia Roberts into the movie. Hardly the pixie that she is in the novel, Julia Roberts plays a very droll role in Hook. Would still recommend though.

Love this movie. After opening the package though, I felt weirded out that the movie had already been unrwrapped and of course the movie code had been stolen. Might wanna check who’s packing your product bc the package was completely sealed when I got it.

Great buy in 4K especially for the digital copy!

Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2020

Ordered it for my husband for his bday which was two days after I ordered it. It arrived in time to add it to his other gifts. I got the 4K + Blu-ray which also came with a 4K digital copy since we have a 4K TV but not a 4K player (yet). I saw another review say that the 4K looks terrible - it looked GREAT on our TV. Maybe the disc played in a 4K player looks different or maybe it depends on the player and TV? The only complaint I even have at all was that the shrink wrap was scratched up but that didn’t affect the product for us. It might put off a collector if you’re the type who buys movies and displays them still in shrink wrap. We just want to watch the movies. So overall for ME and my husband this was a GREAT purchase!

I still love it...

Have any of you got that one film in your collection that no matter how many times people put it down, you just can't help but love it? For me, that film will always be Hook. I still remember going into the cinema as a kid and being drawn in by the magical world of Peter Pan. Everything was larger than life and was a breathe of fresh air. The older I got, the more I discovered that people really don't like the film. But I've never managed to see the movie from that perspective.

I recently bought the bluray release so I could introduce it to my five year old girl. She recently fell in love with Aladdin and Jumanji. Two films I grew up with, mainly because I simply adored Robin Williams. It kind of made me think, what would she think of the crazy world of Hook. I proceeded to pick it up for £4 and It was the first time I had sat down and watch the movie in a number of years. Seeing her little face light up just brought back so many good memories of being a child. She adored everything from the hilariously over the top pirates to the relatable lost boys. Tinker Bell and the Mermaids looked really pretty too (Dad agrees!). It was like everything she wanted in a film, wrapped up in a ball of pixy dust and left to run wild in her imagination. The exact same reactions I had thirty years ago.

Seeing the movie from an adults perspective was interesting. I'm not one to let nostalgia take over. I am like everyone else and do enjoy going back to those old memories. But I understand the sets look a bit cheap, some of the costumes are silly and the whole end fight is just beyond ridiculous. God knows how multi-coloured custard pies and marbles were going to subdue and destroy an army of pirates, but they do and it is still silly to this day.

With that said, I also saw a film that has a sort of innocence that we don't see in family films now. There's plenty of jokes for kids, plenty slipped under the table for the adults (the suicidal Hook scene. Hilarious!) and many great scenes. The actors makes the best of it. Duston Hoffman and Bob Hoskins steal the show by far. Those two had great chemistry here and I was in stitches with their antics (probably can't do that now). I won't deny it, I think I shed a bit of a tear when I saw the smile on Robin Williams. There's something about that man as an actor that always had a place in my heart. He could let off the slightest look and make me laugh. Seeing him here in all his glory was just wonderful. We don't have actors like Robin anymore and I'll cherish everything he did.

Then there is the score. I tell you, everyone remembers John Williams for his beautiful scores from Star Wars, Superman, Jurassic Park etc. But in my honest opinion, his work never surpassed this movie. The music in Hook did everything it was required to do. It gave the film a wonderful amount of emotion, a magnificent sense of adventure and gave every scene a wonderful hook or melody to latch onto. The score is very much like E.T. in that it just tugs at your heart strings at the right moments. I went so far as to actually buy the soundtrack CD. It's now up there with some of my favourites.

Hook really wasn't appreciated when it came out, not by certain crowds. But people of my generation grew up loving this movie. It sure is silly, a little childish and very over the top. That however, that is the point. It's suppose to make you feel like a child. It's suppose to make you think of your happy thoughts, just long enough to go to Neverland. As an adult, I have grown to love this movie. It has its flaws and there's no denying they are there. But we don't see movies like Hook anymore and that a lone is enough encouragement to break this film out for my kids. I recommend picking this one up. It's great family entertainment, a film that has held up rather well.

Takes me back to being a kid, they don't make films like this anymore that have that sense of magic and nostalgia.

For me, one of Robbins best performances (RIP), you have to admire how in character he gets in his films. My favourite scene is the food one where they are eating nothing until he uses his imagination.... I loved that as a kid and it just brought it all back

One of my guilty favourites

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 9, 2013

I loved this film when I was younger and nothing has changed about that, even though I'm now 22!

Robin Williams is, as always, brilliant. He's hilarious and I think he makes a great Peter Pan - definitely one of my favourite portrayals. He plays the grown-up Peter fantastically, as a man who has forgotten all about Neverland and his life before growing up. Once he returns to the magical world and finally remembers, his take on Peter was wonderful to watch. Who'd of thought Robin Williams in tights would have been so cool?

I loved the lost boys in this. They were so dependent on Peter and had clearly missed him so much and the ending when he left again just ripped my heart out. They were also so funny (BANGARANG) when they were 'training' Peter to become himself again (the dinner scene was just awesome). Also: Ru-fi-ooooooooooooooo.

Dustin Hoffman as Hook was just splendid. He's such a great actor and I've learned to expect nothing better than AWESOME from him. And he delivered. Hook is perfectly creepy but also kind of strangely likeable.

The puns in this movie provide a lot of laughs (perhaps more now, watching as an adult: see the dinner scene when Peter and Rufio get into an argument) and the film is just a joy to watch throughout.

Okay, so it's not a completely oscar-worthy masterpiece. But it's a film that will keep you entertained throughout and get you back in touch with your childish side, something we all need once in a while. In my opinion, it's a must-see for anyone who's a fan of Williams or, you know, fun.

Always been a fan of this forgotten Spielberg gem

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 31, 2017

Verified Purchase

Poor Blu-Ray release, I think Spielberg would rather forget it exists. I am one of those rare people who genuinely loves Hook. I saw it when I was ten so perfect age for a film full of adventure and wonder.

Its a shame no one tells Spielberg that it actually isn't a bad film and has many great moments and memorable characters. The disc is the film and hmmm maybe a trailer but nothing else. Even a documentary all about the reason its director doesn't talk much about it would have pleased me as it is a little more left field than usual classic he makes.

If like me you love the film then of course buy it as its the best its gonna get but if you want more then don't, especially if you are not a fan.

Hook is a brilliant film for the whole family the film stars Robin Williams as Peter pan a grown up version though who goes back to never land after his children are kidnapped by Hook played by Dustin Hoffman. The film is non stop action full of colour humour and even the odd death the film was directed by Steven Spielberg and stars many big names including Julia Roberts as tinkerbell bob hoskins as smee the film is very entertaining it has a great music score and a lovely ending recommended.
The steelbook version is brilliant this plays in full english the steelbook case is fantastic.
