Review of Hook (1991) by Everlastall — 06 Oct 2015
It's got its problems, such as it's fairly cheesy, has some massive tonal shifts, Julia Roberts' Tink is wasted and has a really pointless arc, the effects and some of the sets haven't aged well, and some parts don't make sense( such as the Wizard of Oz-ish ending with a Smee duplicate in England and the stuffed Croc killing Hook).
But for the most part the good outweighs the bad making it a fun and emotional ride. Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman are fantastic, most of the story is very intriguing, and you can tell a lot of thought went into it.
Hook is Spielberg simultaneously at his best and worst.
