When his young children are abducted by his old nemesis, Capt. Hook (Dustin Hoffman), middle-aged lawyer Peter Banning (Robin Williams) returns to his magical origins as Peter Pan. Peter must revisit a foggy past in which he abandoned Neverland for family life, leaving Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) and the Lost Boys to fend for themselves. Given their bitterness toward Peter for growing up -- and their allegiance to their new leader, Rufio -- the old gang may not be happy to see him.

Critics Consensus

The look of Hook is lively indeed but Steven Spielberg directs on autopilot here, giving in too quickly to his sentimental, syrupy qualities.

Daniel B

A brilliant concept and amazing showing by Robin Williams which is undermined by a slew of extremley sub par performances from Julia Roberts and some of the worst child actors to ever have graced the silver screen.

A woefully uneven retelling of the ''Peter Pan'' story.

For very much like Peter, it has clearly gotten harder for this director to break free of the lure of material things and believe in simple magic.

Hook, featuring a grown-up version of the legendary Peter Pan facing off against the captain, offers a nostalgic trip full of adventure.

Rated: 4/5

While Hook successfully transitions between tones, and the Neverland sequences are gorgeous, the movie gets a bit bloated in its second act.
