Hoffman as Hook should be more iconic. Truly a one of a kind performance

He earned it with his performance. But don't worry, if nothing else I'm sure the internet will always appreciate him for it. All it takes is one person talking about how they thought he did great in the role and it can kick up a storm of repost after repost about how he was the best Hook, etc. etc. I watched Stranger than Fiction not too long ago, too, before rewatching Hook, and while he doesn't change dramatically the way he does with Hook, I still liked his performance there, as well. He's one of many actors whom I enjoy watching regardless of what he's in.

Its crazy he was so transformative in that role. When I watch the movie I never see Dustin I just see hook.

I had to hear who it was to recognize him. He blends into the role so well. Part of it is the wardrobe, of course, but the biggest part, I think, is how his voice is completely transformed. When he's playing the role, you don't hear Dustin Hoffman anymore, you hear Hook.

@@larsickenroth7169 I was similar I grew up with Robin Williams, between hook being my favorite movie as a kid, and then good will hunting, and Mrs doubtfire and dead poets society, Aladdin, when he passed I went back and re watched all his movies but I couldn't make my self watch hook for years. And when I did, one line I knew was coming, wrecked me , To live is an awfully big adventure.

Exactly, this is just an idea. Disney if they have any animated Petter pan films or shows coming they need him to come in and revise his role as captain James hook. I know that was a different movie franchise but still can you imagine it. He did the character so we'll. It's an awesome film with a good story. Chanting "Give us the hook,give us the hook, give us the hook". Sorry I've been watching the movie lately on VHS.

Seriously

Such an under appreciated performance. When you watch it back even years later as an adult . you dont see an actor you only see hook.

Critics called his performance “hammy” but as a child not knowing who Dustin Hoffman was, this was Captain Hook in the flesh! He was also far more complicated and at times frightening than I think people remember.

I just found out today as I watch Hook at the age of 44...(having watched it endlessly on vhs as a child) I had to look it up!

Hook is amazing. It was such a big hit when it came out but, sadly, critics and even Spielberg slammed it. Such a shame because it is a beautiful film and Dustin Hoffman was tremendous as HOOK.

1:55 Absolute legend!!! Can’t believe after all these years and he could still pull off Hook! Flashbacks from my childhood watching that film!

I thought he was going to say "brace yourself because this, is really going to hurt"

Dustin is surprised when she says Hook is her favorite. For 90s kids (born in the 80s), Hook is an absolute triumph.

Born in the very late 80s. The critics aren’t watching Hook from a child’s perspective. It was an incredible and magical movie to watch as a kid. A child’s imagination is not like the average neurotypical adults and this movie brought that imagination to life.

Hoffman as Hook was unforgettable. He really disappeared into the role and embodied everything that was Captain Hook.

Agreed, Hoffman by far is the best live action hook a director could ask for, I actually like his version better than the original cartoon. He kinda mixed the silliness of the cartoon character with a bit more serious and darker character and it worked quite well

"Were you even born when that movie came out?" Lol He cracks me up and such an amazing actor. He really embodied Hook. I didn't even realize it was Dustin Hoffman until I was an adult.

This made my day. I’ve always loved his portrait of Hook. Very underrated.

I watched Hook today and only realised it was this legend that played Hook. What a brilliant actor. Always knew he was good but the guys range is incredible

I'm 19 years old now, but I can still remember the first time watching Hook and finding Captain Hook to be so amazing. Loved his performance!!

After over 30 years, he just pulls it out of his sleeve as it where yesterday. Its people like him that make me feel lucky to gave spend their youth in the 80's and 90'a

Yeah he still can do it❤😍

What a wonderful actor to reprise his role!

Didn’t even know he played hook he looked that different, amazing

The best hook. My childhood ❤

Yeah, actors like Hoffman put alot of these modern stars to shame tbh

He really was an excellent Hook!

Hoffman as Hook and Williams as Peter Pan was the greatest thing that they ever did

Dustin Hoffman made his mark as an icon multiple times. But Captain James Hook he will always be best known for.

Just got shivers and tingles and the hair stood up on my arms and neck when he did the Hook !! ❤❤❤

Hoffman as hook was fantastic

ahhh Dustin.. you are always a class act man...

Honestly Hook is my favorite movie also.

Dustin Hoffman did a killer portrayal of Captain Hook! As Captain Hook me personally. I could barely tell it was even him

Wow the fact that Mr. Dustin Hoffman gave her full on Captain. Hook just shows how real he is. Hoffman is the man!

Hook is awesome! And Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook is a great performance!

We need more captain James Hook in our lives. Dustin Hoffman was great in the role.

I wish he had done another Hook movie!

OOOMMGGGG Hook is my favourite childhood film I have to meet him just so he can do a line from the film haha brilliant

"Never met a bush I didn't like" 😂😂 legend

I was terrified of him as a child and yet fascinated...Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams REALLY made that film the cult classic it is today, despite the critics. Amazing work!

The movie is magic to me too. I get goose bumps and teary eyed in multiple parts of the movie. The soundtrack is so iconic.

it parallels Home Alone using the same musicians which is why the themes are slightly similar.

The best Captain "James " Hook ever.

What’s so weird is that he was perfect as hook but I can imagine him as the perfect adult pan as well. Great actor .

It starts at 2:02 in case you’re wondering 👉🏻

I love him, thats wild. He did amazing in that role!

When Hoffman told the lady to turn her head and close her eyes, I thought he was going to quote "Brace yourself, because this is REALLY going to HURT!"

He's the coolest!!!

He was just B R I L L I A N T as Hook!!! It´s like... this role was made only for him and I can´t imagine someone else, playing him on that level!!! Mr. Hoffman...you WERE, ARE and will ALLWAYS BE a GREAT ACTOR!!! (You´ll got my own, private Oscar... made of admiration and respect!!!)

He should play Hook in a Pirates movie! Sparrow versus Hook would be great!

That’s so cool that he can still do the voice!

What a legendary iconic actor , and he did his best to make this better but she failed at speaking up you couldn’t hear a word she was saying !!

Dustin Hoffman doesn't act. Dustin Hoffman just becomes someone else.

Good form Mr Hoffman, good form.

What an absolute gentleman and movie star!

His Hook is the best of all time!

So underrated as Cpt Hook and such a great movie

He's still got it

I love this man for 4 words.

Uh she laughed, lol not terrified at all! Bless Mr Hoffman!❤️

@Crazy VillainFan But after that she said "you made my life" I guess putting "terrifies reporter" rather than "says a line from hook to a reporter" gets more clicks and it seems clicks matter more than accuracy

Absolutely wonderful end to that interview. To think at the end of it, to do that...

Yep he still got it!!

Amazing moment! It's hook!!

Right on i loved it

Hook has got to be one of my favorite movies of all time. By far. The cast, the story, the acting. The set is unbelievable at a time when we really didn't have CGI just yet. I first saw it at 6 years old in 1996. And his performance was a bit frightening. They put that guy in the boo-box with the scorpions. That scared me. I remember how I felt for that poor guy! I thought Hook was truly a savage, but he was kind to Jack and saw himself in him...but not in Peter Pan. Seeing it as an adult, it's a bit of a different perspective.

Grew up watching that classic and felt like I saw him in wardrobe and playing the scene in the movie there for a second

I love that!!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!!

Ohh shit I got goosebumps.

Wonderful

😂😂 this should have more views

Of all the fims being re-made, Hook should be strongly considered. Dustin Hoffman still has it!

Dustin Hoffman is the best Hook everr. :) :) !!

It was first years later that i figured out it was Dustin as Hook, he played Hook so well

His performance as Hook was absolutely stunning. I hate to say this because I loved Robin but he did outside Robin in Hook. He IS Hook for me and will forever be.

Smee, don't you dare try to stop me!

He single handedly carried Kramer vs Kramer from start to finish (just realised the pun).

He should have had 5 Oscars IMHO. For the Graduate, Midnight Cowboy, Kramer vs Kramer, Rain Man and should have tied with Kingsley and Newman for Tootsie.

30 years later he pulls out that line just to make her day, it's the only purpose and pretty rare for famous people to do such a thing. It's also a little homage to Robin Williams. Yeah, I guess Dustin Hoffman is a pretty cool guy.

WOW!!!

Now I really want to see a straight adaptation of the original Peter Pan story with Hoffman as Hook.

*"DUSTIN HOFFMANN IS HOOK!!!"*

Hook was terrifying!! I’ve seen this movie toooo many times

Legend

Good form, Hoffman

Dustin is Hook like Heath was Joker.

That was so touching and terrifying lol

I Love the Hook movie.

Loved movie hook

YEAH !

He was the quintessential Hook.

That IS the voice of hook

What a nice fella

They made the film for kids, it was a home run for kids. You had middle-aged adults critiquing a film from the perspective of adults....of course they didn't understand it. Hook is amazing and Hoffman absolutely owned that role.

Haha that's awesome, looks like a great guy
