Review of Hook (1991) by Kate H — 26 Dec 2014
This is one of my all time favorite childhood movies. I never realized until I got older that Steven Spielberg directed this movie and you can definitely tell. Especially after doing such movies as "E.
T.: The Extra Terrestrial," and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," this has Spielberg written all over it. But this is definitely a Robin Williams classic. Nobody else could have played the role of adult Peter Pan than the firecracker comedian himself.
He embodies the role terrifically and never loses a beat. Dustin Hoffman as well is fantastic as Capt. Hook, he embodies the role so well you almost forget it's Hoffman underneath all that make up and costume.
Bob Hoskins and Julia Roberts give great supporting performances as well especially the kids in the film give real heart warming performances that only Spielberg can get out of. This whole movie is one for the ages, as it always brought a smile to my face when I watched it.
