Hook - 4K + Blu-ray + Digital

Great movie for family night.

Hook is pure 90s movie magic—a nostalgic, imaginative, and heartwarming adventure that takes you back to Neverland in the most unforgettable way. Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring the legendary Robin Williams as a grown-up Peter Pan, this film beautifully blends childhood wonder with themes of family, responsibility, and rediscovering joy. The premise is genius: Peter Pan has grown up, forgotten who he is, and become a workaholic lawyer named Peter Banning. When Captain Hook (played masterfully by Dustin Hoffman) kidnaps his children, Peter must return to Neverland, confront his past, and learn to fly again—literally and figuratively. Robin Williams is perfect in this role—bringing humor, heart, and a sense of wide-eyed wonder to Peter’s journey. Dustin Hoffman steals every scene he’s in as the theatrical and bitterly funny Captain Hook, and Julia Roberts shines as a feisty and loyal Tinker Bell. Add in John Williams’ soaring score, imaginative set designs, and Spielberg’s signature storytelling, and you’ve got a film that hits all the right notes. Hook may not have been fully appreciated by critics when it was first released, but it has grown into a beloved classic for a reason. It reminds us that growing up doesn’t mean losing your inner child—and that sometimes, all it takes is one happy thought to soar.

Even though this movie is pretty old now probably one of the best if not the best movies ever made It has everything drama comedy tragedy it's got everything and of course the master himself Robin Williams. Have watched this movie to the point where I know the movie by dialogue all the way through including the extended version

Best Robin Williams movie, Maggie Smith is great playing older Wendy. Dustin Hoffman is awesome as Captain Hook. And if you can spot her Glenn Close is in it too.

After a play, a cartoon, and a tv series about one of the greatest stories ever created in history, we are finally rewarded with a "live-action" film that brings the world of Peter Pan to life and gives us the greatest emotional experience of all time! Okay, I will admit, I was laughing at the idea that this movie even existed. I mean, "Peter Pan, all grown up, married, and has kids", that wasn't the original Peter Pan that I knew at all. I at first thought it was a bad idea that this movie was even made and I made fun of it. But then... I found out that Steven Spielberg himself directed the movie and everything changed. I watched it and I my mouth hang open from shock after the movie was over. "Hook" is one of the greatest adaptions ever created in the history of Peter Pan! The story is very simple. Peter Pan has grown up, having fallen in love with a girl named Moira, who happens to be the granddaughter of the now elderly Wendy Darling. Having married Moira and had two kids, our hero has forgotten his time in Neverland and has become a regular person. But when Hook returns and kidnaps his children, Peter must return to Neverland, regain his memories, and team back up with the Lost Boys in order to save his children, while finally face his deadliest nemesis for the final time. With the work of the greatest director of all time, Steven Spielberg, Hook turned out to be one of the greatest movies of all time. Steven Spielberg delivers his version of Peter Pan and shows us what happens when the "boy who wouldn't grow up" actually grows up. Dustin Hoffman plays a great villain inside Hook, bringing his evil side to life and also showing us what he would be like in real life if he was real. Robin Williams delivers his best performance as a older Peter Pan, showing us his life without Neverland. Maggie Smith and Gwyneth Paltrow create such awesome versions of Wendy Darling, who has lived a full life and has us tearing up at how things used to be in the old days. The emotion inside this story is so heartfelt and beautiful, you will literally cry. Rufio, the Lost Boys (including elderly Tootles), Wendy, Tinkerbell, and even Peter himself make the best moments of this movie so worth watching. Old characters like Wendy and Tootles will have you missing the old times when they were all young and going on adventures with Peter. Rufio and the Lost Boys provide the greatest fun and adventures for us to watch and be entertained by. And Peter will give you the most greatest story about learning to deal with your past and moving on. Just his old saying "to die would be awfully big adventure", he now understands that "to live would be an awfully big adventure". You will be loving the emotion from all around the movie. This film was done so beautifully and amazingly, that we are able to call this "the greatest Peter Pan movie of all time"! This movie is very highly recommendable for Peter Pan fans. You will not be disappointed! Even kids will love it too! :)

Yeah it has some of that awful 90s stuff going on and yeah it's mushy and sentimental to a fault, but I still love this movie. Steven Spielberg can capture childlike wonderment and fanciful fantasy like no other director, and aided by John Williams' score, only a monster could hate this. A few of the kids put in great performances, a few are ultra cringe, but Robin Williams is great, Dustin Hoffman is an excellent villain and Bob Hoskins is a delight. Plus, this is a kid's movie filled with murder and multiple uses of the cuss word for butt (I have to say it that way for the Amazon review), which is funny to me. I didn't think this was going to hold up against my aged cynicism, but I was wrong. It's just good, classic Spielberg fun. I don't know why there was a reevaluation that decided this was a "bad movie", honestly. It isn't the best movie ever made but it's a great time and has some wonderful moments. I'd rather watch this any day than the drivel they feed kids today. Stupid Minions.

Funny and suspensefull good watch for the whole family and will become something that you think about for a while, exceptional story

I got this fun piece of nostalgia for my nieces and nephew to watch, now that they are the right age. The dvd was in very good condition - excellent price. I just have to update this review to say I watched the movie again recently, myself, and I was surprised that there seem to be a few hidden little gems in this. The first time I watched this, of course, it did not stand out to me that Peter asks a coworker on the phone, "Who wants to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex?" and his son, Jack, playfully calls out; "I do! Are you kidding me?" The release date of this movie precedes Jurassic Park by about 2 years. Likewise, even the movie E.T. seems to have foreshadowed THIS movie, because the mom in that movie was reading the book Peter Pan to the young Drew Barrymore character. Also, when a still young Peter returns to visit Wendy, he winds up falling in love and marrying Wendy's daughter, who has her bedroom decorated all up in Beatles mania bed sheets and pillow cases. He gives up his life of eternal childhood to be with her; that is pretty significant. As a teenager of the 80s/90s, that did not stick out to me, but today it does. At any rate, it indicates the Peter character must also have a great respect for that band, if he would marry someone who is already in love with the Fab Four. And this also has me wondering about the character of Rufio. Only by the way he dresses, he kind of reminds me of someone too, but I'm not going to say who. Because I was a kid of the 1980s, I'll just say he reminds me more of what our pop stars looked like, at that time. What a strange feeling to view this movie again with an adult recognition of the inspiration behind these characters, and a better understanding of the whole story line.
