What do you think of Spielberg's ''Hook''?

[Mad Ones]

Amazing movie. One of my favourites.

I loved it as a kid and still do. Dustin Hoffman will forever be THE Captain Hook for me.

That said, it's certainly not perfect, and I have always hated Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell.

Cought the film on TV. I LOVE IT! LOOOOOVE IT!

For me this movie is pure magic. Every time I see it the child in me fly!

PS: How is it possible that John Williams is not nominated for Oscar for this film? It is one of he's best works

Loved it as a kid. I would probably still enjoy it now, although I haven't see it for a few years now. It's just a fun family film.

I think the concept is cool and interesting, the set up and initial Neverland stuff is good and the finale is fun. From memory, the middle portion is possibly a little "bloated" but the 'Peter remembering who he is/learning to fly' stuff is cool. The Tink getting big and kissing Peter is a bit weird though (I remember thinking that even as a kid).

It's cast so well too. Williams as Peter, Hoffman as Hook and Hoskins as Smee are fantastic so it's no surprise that the best bits of the film are when these 3 are on screen (together or not).

Underrated gem. Simply magic.

For all the flaws and the problems I had with it ever since I first saw it, I still watched it a lot and own the movie.
