steven spielberg hook be one of his far less loved film and and even spielberg admit he be disappoint with the final result . this be quite understandable represent hook begin a a great movie and but end only a a good one . i look forward to it represent robin williams and my favourite actor and in a steven spielberg ( my favourite director ) film . bring it on and say i. let throw clichés out the window for once . this be essentially a movie gear towards kid and so clichés be rightfully ignore . the movie ask the question represent what if peter pan grow up . this have never be do before and and this be why the movie stand out represent it isn not afraid to explore the unexplored . robin williams be perfectly cast a peter ban ( who we all know and of course and be the grow up peter pan ) . bob hoskins be positively brilliant a mr. smee and captain hook right hand man . he provide a lot of comic relief and which be fun to watch . dustin hoffman himself be a great captain hook . hook be not a purely evil villain in this film and though . he be a comic villain and funny in a goofy kind of way ( proof that hook be aim towards the kiddy more than anything ) . but tinker bell be poorly play by julia robert and who play the character with an attitude and and unenthusiastically and and you can easily tell . the first and say and 25 minute of hook be brilliant represent williams be a workaholic who have no time for his kid and when they be kidnap by the villainous capn hook . granny wendy ( maggie smith ) try convince him he be peter pan and and later that night and he be visit by tinker bell and who take him to neverland . this be when the movie stop be amazing and and become just good . for once and i find a reason to criticize spielberg direction . he make a horrible directing choice when show the first ( non bird eye view ) shot of neverland . i be expect a breathtaking and sweeping and panoramic first view of neverland ( which be lush and green in my imagination ) . instead and there be a confused muddle of an establish shot . people and building and and ship be clutter so close together and neverland be reveal for what it be represent nothing more than a movie set on a sound stage . another criticism i have be about the lost boy represent none of them be very good actor at all . ( this be not to say theyre terrible and but theyre quite amateurish . ) and one of them be alarmingly obese and so much so that later on in the film and his body double a a boulder for bowl pirate over . and finally and the fight sequence be poorly choreograph and and the fencing be dull and nothing more than shuffle thrust shuffle thrust and over and over again . williams and hoffman may be smash actor and but they be probably poor fencer and to have their routine limit to such simple move . one more thought represent a with nearly every spielberg movie and john williams compose the music for hook . i be a big fan of williams work and and look back on the movie and his score be the absolutely brilliant highlight of the film . if youre go to watch hook for anything and watch it for the music . williams integrate his music marvellously with what be go on and and the music itself be beautiful represent melodic and fun to listen to and and please . his opulent and recur theme for captain hook be one of those tune that get stick in your head and refuse to leavebut not in a bad way . in general and hook be entertain . however and it be one of spielberg more flawed movie . so why the positive . maybe because this be a film that i truly enjoy and even though it flaw stick out a mile when i start write the review . after all and what wrong with a little dumb fun now and then .
