![]() ![]() He even misses Jack’s baseball game in the movie. It features Robin Williams as Peter Banning (or as we’ll later discover: Peter Pan!) Peter is a successful lawyer and a workaholic, who spends little time with his wife Moira and his children Jack and Maggie. The film first takes place in San Francisco. But does that mean that ‘Hook’ deserves to get its praise and approval without pointing out some of its flaws? In this review by me, I’ll endeavour to do just that. That was before the 2003 film of ‘Peter Pan’ came out. This was the best live-action film of a ‘Peter Pan’ story at the time in the 1990s. But on his return, he has to remember being the boy he once was that could fly and can do battle with Captain Hook. It sees Peter Pan grown up as a normal married man and returning to Neverland to save his own children. The film also features an interesting concept. But nowadays this is received as harmless entertainment. I imagine it was probably a bit scary for me when I saw it as a kid, especially at the beginning. My Dad purchased ‘Hook’ on VHS long ago when I was a kid in the 1990s. The movie was nominated for five Academy Awards and it is good it did. So it was interesting to come across this live-action film based on the story of ‘Peter Pan’ that I knew about and loved in my early days of childhood. My first encounter with ‘Peter Pan’ was the 1953 Disney film, which was also a favourite of my sister Bethan before she died. My parents love ‘Hook’! I have a soft spot for it too! This is a classic film based on the works of ‘Peter Pan’ by J.M. It stars Robin Williams as Peter Pan Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook Julie Roberts as Tinker Bell and Bob Hoskins as Smee. ‘Hook’ is a 1991 film directed by Steven Spielberg. What if Peter Pan grew up and became a man?! Robin Williams as Peter Pan and Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook ![]() Please feel free to comment on my review. ![]()
