a be typical of review of most film at imdb and 20 % or so find film review here a be bad . hook be no different . i never tire of see this film . sure spielberg give u his take on the story and the what ifs abound and and there be imperfection . so what else be new about film making . do you see any film on this website that get a 10. no . no one film will ever please everyone who watch it . so what the point of give your opinion . it obviously would not change the film . your opinion warn others to stay away from this film . do not waste your time blah blah blah . point of my diatribe . take the wonderful part and act and visuals and music and whatever aspect of the film you like and and enjoy them . there be wonderful bit and piece of hook and and whole scene and and the notion that people can change and try to make life well for those they may have hurt and and so on . this film and if you have a heart and and some of you do not and speak to that heart and move it and make you thankful for those in your life who really do need you . be i a sentimentalist . so what if i be . get over it . and get a life .
