Hook is an adventurous TriStar Pictures movie and stars Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman as grown-up Peter Pan and the nefarious Captain Hook. After a banquet for Wendy on a stormy night, Peter and his wife come home to find that their children have been kidnapped by the infamous Captain Hook. Peter sets off to Never Land to rescue his son and daughter and throughout the journey he must rediscover the imagination and magic that he once had. Little does he know that Hook has secret plans to start a war with the Lost Boys. This action packed and entertaining motion picture is for all ages.
I thought that Peter Pan had ended and there was nothing else to do but this enticing movie adds a whole new adventure to the end of that story. It continues on from a wonderful children’s story and adds an interesting twist. Who would have thought that Peter would ever leave Never Land to live in the real world where he would grow up? I certainly didn’t! This story explains how Peter would go to visit Wendy and every time she was older. Then one time Wendy’s grand-daughter is there and Peter decides that he would rather stay and live with her than watch her grow old like he did Wendy. I thought that was a prodigious addition to the old Peter Pan story. I relished how invigorating the storyline was and it held my attention throughout. I also enjoyed how many of the ideas from the original Peter Pan were not altered in any way. The Lost Boys did have a new hideout but the original one was still present, although destroyed. In many instances the settings in movies are changed and that also alters the mood of the story.
Throughout the movie Peter is trying to rediscover his old abilities because he has forgotten the past. His attempts can be quite comical and the Lost Boys try to help by exercising him to death. Besides being adventurous and comical the movie depicts the love of families and the risks they would take for each other. I enjoyed the adventure that Peter Pan must take to rescue his beloved children and once again save the day. This is a wonderful family film and should be adored by all the family members. Be it youngsters or adults, this fantastic movie is fit for all ages and I am positive that others will enjoy it just as much as me.

WOW! I absolutely LOVE this movie! It has always created a sense of magic and adventure in me. I agree with you, after I had seen the Disney version of Peter Pan, I never thought that he would leave Never Land and to live and grow up. Don’t we all want to stay young forever? I think now, with everyone trying to grow up, we are all losing some of our imagination so that we don’t stand out among all of our friends. I think that this is kind of sad, but in Hook it shows that even the most set minded person can let go and rekindle the imagination and life that was in him before.
