Hook is one of Steven Spielberg's near misses. At least it shows that he is a normal director sometimes. I mean he cranks out great film after great film, so he was due for a weaker film. This one is overlong and very pretentious. Don't get me wrong this film isn't bad, it's just not as good as it could have been. A lot of great talent in this film. Dustin Hoffman's turn as Captin Hook is inspired, but Robin Wiliams portrayal of Peter Pan is very goofy. I will say that the film's score is awesome. Kids will probably dig it, but most adults won't care. I think making adults care is the whole point of this film.
