When you look at the cast and director involved in Hook you would think it will be an amazing family film inspired by J.M Barrie's classic book. Sadly while the idea of a grown up Peter Pan is a good one the film ends up being overly long, dull and oddly for Spielburg, lacking in charm.
Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman are good in their roles and drag the quality of the film up a notch purely because they seem to be having such a good time making it. Robin Williams as Peter Pan - that's perfect casting.
However the film spends too long setting up its concept and is full of overly long and dull scenes. The 1990's style lost boys are annoying and dated and the less said about Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell the better.
Hook is a nice idea, it's just not fully realised in practice.
