Hook (Blu-ray / DVD Combo Pack)

I watched Hook on repeat when my children were growing up. I decided to re-watch it after the passing of Dame Maggie Smith, who played Wendy. It gave me chills seeing her and Robin Williams interacting, Wendy and Peter Pan together again.

Watched it as a kid. Now I love seeing my kids enjoy it.

My grandchildren love it. What can you say? Robin Williams was great.

My favorite movie, and looks good in uhd.

If you saw this as a child you will not be disappointed in showing it to your little ones. Still completely captivated.

Yeah it has some of that awful 90s stuff going on and yeah it's mushy and sentimental to a fault, but I still love this movie. Steven Spielberg can capture childlike wonderment and fanciful fantasy like no other director, and aided by John Williams' score, only a monster could hate this. A few of the kids put in great performances, a few are ultra cringe, but Robin Williams is great, Dustin Hoffman is an excellent villain and Bob Hoskins is a delight. Plus, this is a kid's movie filled with murder and multiple uses of the cuss word for butt (I have to say it that way for the Amazon review), which is funny to me. I didn't think this was going to hold up against my aged cynicism, but I was wrong. It's just good, classic Spielberg fun. I don't know why there was a reevaluation that decided this was a "bad movie", honestly. It isn't the best movie ever made but it's a great time and has some wonderful moments. I'd rather watch this any day than the drivel they feed kids today. Stupid Minions.

Great movie! My students got to watch it for a reward day after they did a lesson over Peter Pan! They loved it!

Absolutely love this movie growing up I’m a deep admirer of Robin Williams. This Blu-ray was a delightful surprise. It had a lot of extra special features on the making of the film in interviews with the light Robin Williams.

El producto es estupendo, tanto la imagen como el audio están muy bien, no hay recortes o estiramiento en la imagen, viene en inglés y español latino original, incluye un blu-ray y un DVD de la película

Preso perché da bambino l'ho visto al cinema e qualche volta in tv.Film sempre gradevole, la recitazione dei due antagonisti rende la trama piacevole e scorrevole.Una classica fiaba da conservare.L'ho preso sulla fiducia e conto di rivederlo a breve.

Have any of you got that one film in your collection that no matter how many times people put it down, you just can't help but love it? For me, that film will always be Hook. I still remember going into the cinema as a kid and being drawn in by the magical world of Peter Pan. Everything was larger than life and was a breathe of fresh air. The older I got, the more I discovered that people really don't like the film. But I've never managed to see the movie from that perspective.I recently bought the bluray release so I could introduce it to my five year old girl. She recently fell in love with Aladdin and Jumanji. Two films I grew up with, mainly because I simply adored Robin Williams. It kind of made me think, what would she think of the crazy world of Hook. I proceeded to pick it up for £4 and It was the first time I had sat down and watch the movie in a number of years. Seeing her little face light up just brought back so many good memories of being a child. She adored everything from the hilariously over the top pirates to the relatable lost boys. Tinker Bell and the Mermaids looked really pretty too (Dad agrees!). It was like everything she wanted in a film, wrapped up in a ball of pixy dust and left to run wild in her imagination. The exact same reactions I had thirty years ago.Seeing the movie from an adults perspective was interesting. I'm not one to let nostalgia take over. I am like everyone else and do enjoy going back to those old memories. But I understand the sets look a bit cheap, some of the costumes are silly and the whole end fight is just beyond ridiculous. God knows how multi-coloured custard pies and marbles were going to subdue and destroy an army of pirates, but they do and it is still silly to this day.With that said, I also saw a film that has a sort of innocence that we don't see in family films now. There's plenty of jokes for kids, plenty slipped under the table for the adults (the suicidal Hook scene. Hilarious!) and many great scenes. The actors makes the best of it. Duston Hoffman and Bob Hoskins steal the show by far. Those two had great chemistry here and I was in stitches with their antics (probably can't do that now). I won't deny it, I think I shed a bit of a tear when I saw the smile on Robin Williams. There's something about that man as an actor that always had a place in my heart. He could let off the slightest look and make me laugh. Seeing him here in all his glory was just wonderful. We don't have actors like Robin anymore and I'll cherish everything he did.Then there is the score. I tell you, everyone remembers John Williams for his beautiful scores from Star Wars, Superman, Jurassic Park etc. But in my honest opinion, his work never surpassed this movie. The music in Hook did everything it was required to do. It gave the film a wonderful amount of emotion, a magnificent sense of adventure and gave every scene a wonderful hook or melody to latch onto. The score is very much like E.T. in that it just tugs at your heart strings at the right moments. I went so far as to actually buy the soundtrack CD. It's now up there with some of my favourites.Hook really wasn't appreciated when it came out, not by certain crowds. But people of my generation grew up loving this movie. It sure is silly, a little childish and very over the top. That however, that is the point. It's suppose to make you feel like a child. It's suppose to make you think of your happy thoughts, just long enough to go to Neverland. As an adult, I have grown to love this movie. It has its flaws and there's no denying they are there. But we don't see movies like Hook anymore and that a lone is enough encouragement to break this film out for my kids. I recommend picking this one up. It's great family entertainment, a film that has held up rather well.

Great gift
