My Favorite Movie Podcast 175 - Hook
Manage episode 380680461 series 1083709
In this episode, we discuss the 1991 film Hook, a sequel to Peter Pan starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, and Julia Roberts. The three of us praise the film's visuals and cast but criticize its uneven tone and some of its more cartoonish elements.
Key points:
The film is a visually stunning spectacle, with Spielberg's trademark sense of wonder and adventure on full display.
Robin Williams gives a heartfelt performance as Peter Pan, even if he is held back at times by the film's PG rating.
Dustin Hoffman is perfectly cast as Captain Hook, bringing a sense of menace and humor to the role.
Julia Roberts is miscast as Tinkerbell but still manages to make the character her own.
The film's tone is uneven, shifting from heartwarming moments to over-the-top action sequences.
Some of the film's more cartoonish elements, such as the Lost Boys' armor and Thudbutt's rolling attack, fall flat.
Overall, we enjoy Hook but agree that it is a flawed film. We recommend it to Robin Williams and Spielberg fans but caution viewers to be prepared for its uneven tone and cartoonish elements.
Hosts: Daniel Levain, Ian Sweetman and Eric Sweetman.
