Editorial Review: Product Description: Robin williams is a grown up peter pan and dustin hoffman is the infamous captain hook.

Features: subtitles in english and much more. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 07/19/2005 Starring: Dustin Hoffman Robin Williams Run time: 142 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Steven Spielberg Amazon.com: Steven Spielberg's deeply flawed but sporadically fun and moving update of the Peter Pan legend stars Robin Williams as the grown-up Pan, a corporate-takeover type who must embrace his old identity in order to save his kids from Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman). The stars put on a good show, including Hoffman's read of Hook's hysterical personality, Julia Roberts mini-turn as a tiny Tinker Bell, and Maggie Smith's touching performance as the aged Wendy. The visual contrast between the adult Pan's bustling outside world and the insulated fantasy of Neverland is striking, but Spielberg's ideas about the Lost Boys--politically correct in their ethnic diversity, energetic on skateboards--are contrived and cheapening. On the plus side, the story's theme about adults finding their innocence again through their children is very touching (though some people have found it cloying). If you can look beyond the glaring problems, there's plenty to like here. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating:  - View with an open mind...I am a true-blood, die-hard fan of Barrie's original Pan, and inconsistencies and the ways modern adaptations/sequels/prequels can skew the original concept usually bug me. It's easy to be put off by the premise of Peter growing up. Of course he would never grow up to be a stuffy businessman! Even so, I can't help but like this movie to some extent. This may sound kind of cheesy, but they way I've come to regard it is not so much as a literal "when Peter grew up" story, but kind of more metaphorical... ...

It was an enchanting revisit to a place we all forgot about when we grew up, even Peter Pan. Rating: - Film resonates with contemporary lifestyleI saw Hook for the first time, years after it's release. With its premise, and musical score, it certainly was an emotional atmosphere for a story that still resonates with busy families,and those where one parent or both are absorbed in work. It's a relevant metaphor even though it is a fairy tale. Great, playful and endearing accomplishment by Spielberg and a complimentary cast that clearly had chemistry. The movie was a bit long, and some of the sets/effects clearly were not as sophisticated as those ... Read More Rating: - Yes, there are a thousand and one flaws over which one can complain, but this is a movie that gets in your heartI remember being amazed with this movie as a young child. As I grew older, I was amazed to learn that this movie had been scorned by critics as was considered "bad". Now I do not claim to be an expert on what is good or bad with movies beyond what the basic girl knows and what I like, but I still cannot see anything wrong with this. Yes, part of me hates the idea that someone would take Barry's Peter Pan and ruin everything about him by making him grow up. Yet that just so happens to be the ... Read More Rating:  - I believe in you, Peter Pan. Without a doubt 1991's HOOK is my favorite movie of all time. Granted, if you are a 40-something year old about to view Hook for the very first time you may have trouble truly enjoying, or even understanding it. The tale of Peter Pan(Robin Williams), the boy who ran away to Neverland; always wanted to have fun and never wanted to grow-up! But what happens when indeed he has grown and he's been away from Neverland for years. Now he must return to Neverland to save his two children ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
