Hook.

[Downhere]

I enjoyed the latest live action one over the disney films. I liked that is was more dark and mature.

Ditto.

 

[Ender Durden]

Did anyone catch the Phil Collins cameo?

!!
who was he?

 

[hammerhedd11]

I caught this on tv a while ago and it was great. I don't understand the hate at all.

 

[Dave McFly]

!!
who was he?

he was the detetcive that was questioning peter and his family after the abduction. i too love this movie, before JP came out this was one of the most magical films he has made to date. Dustin is a GREAT captian hook.

Peter: I remember you being taller.
Hook: to an 8 year old, i'm huge.
t:

oh and how great was Bob Hoskins as Smee

I was rewatching this awesome movie.

Anyone know why Tootles could remember everything after all this time?

 

[Moviefan2k4]

I always thought it was due to him not being as cynical or disbelieving, when compared to the everyday world. Tootles chose to believe, and never gave up on his memories or dreams. That's the message I always got out of it.

 

[TheRunningMan]

wrong

 

[bullets]

cuz tootles rocks

 

[Arkady Rossovich]

I would think it was a good movie,a sort of "What If..Peter Pan Grew Up?".

 

[Kargo Warrior]

I really like the movie's ability to make Peter Pan's world real through an adults eyes...and Dustin Hoffman is awesome as the Hook,i didnt even knew after i watched the movie that it was him back in 91.

"sort of" nothing, that's exactly what it is.

 

[cabel]

Rufio! Rufio!

 

[zeptron]

"Looky looky, I got Hooky!"

 

[Kevin Roegele]

LMAO

 

[chamber-music]

"Looky looky, I got Hooky!"

I loved that line. Oh Rufio he was so full of S***

 

[Son of Sun]

I hated Rufio! Grr!

The film however is pretty decent - I love parts of it, but some of the goofyness in the Nevernever Land is a bit too much nowadays.

Got it on DVD even when I had a VHS.

Directed by Steven Spielberg and released in 1991, Hook stars some of my favorite big-time actors such as Robin Williams, Maggie Smith, Dustin Hoffman, and Julia Roberts.

I don't care how corny it sounds or how old I get, Hook will always be one of my favorite films of ALL time. The basis of the film is that, ironically, Peter Pan has finally grown up, and essentially has to learn what it's like to be a child again while rescuing his children from Captain Hook.

The original work by J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan and Wendy, later shortened to Peter Pan, contained a fair amount of darker elements, which I felt translated over into the modern story of Hook in the form of tragedy. Watching this movie is always slightly bittersweet for me, because I feel Wendy's pain knowing that she loved Peter when she was a young woman, but had to watch him fall in love with her granddaughter once she was an old woman. It's also rather heart-wrenching to see Tinkerbell, who is madly in love with Peter, never get to fulfill her wish of remaining with him forever. Her line, "You know that place between sleep and awake? That place where you still remember dreaming? That's where I'll always love you." is my favorite quote from the film :heart:

I love the fantastical sets used for this movie, as well. The costumes are fairy-like, and the Lost Boys' treehouse is amazing. One of the best scenes is the make-believe Neverfood dinner!

The Lost Boys themselves are absolutely charming. Pockets is adorable, Thud Butt is hilarious in little-kid humor style, and I'm pretty sure every little boy who watched the movie wanted to be Rufio (as a little girl, I had a major crush on him ).

Robin Williams is perfect for making the switch between serious and all-business adult Peter and the child-like, learning to have fun again Peter. And who could ask for a better Captain Hook than Dustin Hoffman?

Hands down, if you haven't seen this movie, go out and BUY it, right now. You can usually get the dvd for less than $10!

I loved it as a kid, but didn't see it again until recently when I stumbled on it in a bargain bin on VHS. For 4 bucks, I personally thought it still held up well and one of the best twists on the whole Peter Pan story to date.

 

[Nirvana]

I agree that this movie is incredible. I recently watched this for the first time since I was very young, it still holds up amazingly. Hook really is a great film.

 

[Morg]

I liked it, sure it was corny but still amusing to watch

 

[Gilpesh]

I really doubt there's another thread. That's why I was saying shame to the rest of the Hype. This so should have already.

Your search isn't strong, I found the last year one and merged it
