found this on the wiki: In 2018, Spielberg told Empire Magazine, "I felt like a fish out of water making Hook ... I didn’t have confidence in the script. I had confidence in the first act and I had confidence in the epilogue. I didn’t have confidence in the body of it." He added "I didn’t quite know what I was doing and I tried to paint over my insecurity with production value," admitting “the more insecure I felt about it, the bigger and more colorful the sets became."

This is one of the movies I saw early in my childhood that taught me how to Feel. For everyone. I actually could understand the grown-ups even with my 5 yrs old brain, and showed me that growing up is okay because your inner child still stay apart of you.

JamCal-X That’s the point they are making. As children this movie seemed damn near perfect, and taught simple, but valuable, lessons. It’s not until watching it as an adult, do you see the weirdness, and the layers of what the scenes are implying. I still love the movie, and it gave me good memories as a kid. It’s just now, and I can see those flaws, but still appreciate how good it was overall.

Couple points... Kevin Kline was originally cast as Peter in this film but had to drop out so Robin replaced him. And Wendy never adopted Peter as her grandson, he says in the film she arranged for the adoption of him by his American parents. He then married her granddaughter later.

I 100% refute the notion that this is a “bad” movie. First off, I’ll take Spielberg’s “worst” over most directors’ best any day. Second, though it is a flawed film, it’s still easily one of the best kids movies ever made. It’s so full of magic and excitement, the spectacle of it all is so unforgettable. And I love that Spielberg wasn’t afraid to make it as sad, scary, or unsettling as it needed to be at moments. Movies that put you through multiple emotions are the ones you remember and make for a life changing cinematic experience, especially to child. Even if this movie isn’t as effective with adults (though I believe it is) it’s still more magical and memorable than most kids movies that have been made since and it’ll always hold a special place in my heart, thank you Steven!!

I wouldn't say that it's a bad movie, it's a movie where individual pieces are better than the larger whole. The scene where he's yelling at his kids, the abduction scene, pirate town, his first encounter with the Lost Boys, the food fight, when he remembers who he is and flies and the war and final duel are all great, but the larger whole of the movie isn't good.

The movie has its issues, but I have kids, and watching it with them helps me forget its weaknesses and I resonate with scenes I didn’t before I was a father. Like the mother reuniting scene at the end. Or Peter throwing his hat and pirate costume on the ground: I used to resonate with Thudd being disappointed in Peter, today I resonate with Peter struggling with his realizing how absentee dad he’s been.

Bang that desk, Dan. Love the genuine passion.

Keep on pounding the desk, Dan! I love when someone gets really passionate about something.

I think this is one of your best Honest Trailers. Keep up the good work

I watched Hook a few months ago for nostalgia sake and I found myself deeply disturbed by the tinker bell confessing her love for peter and grow big scene... I can’t agree more with these guys that this movie is interpreted very different as an adult as it did when I was a kid.

this has been my fav honest trailer in awhile, nice work guys

Nevertheless I still have a very soft spot for "Hook", it's a movie of my childhood which I love, as well as the score, the acting, the production design...

I really liked the Peter Pan where Jason Isaacs plays Captain Hook.

Thank you so much for the avatar reference 😂 long Live Zuko!

So true, if you guys discussed paint drying or grass growing, I'd watch it! Love all your stuff, keep up the great work!

I was born the year Hook came out. I have always been a little embarrassed that it has remained one of my favorite films of all time until I saw this! You guys hit the nail on the head with this one! The dark and twisted plot in addition to the Dustin Hoffman performance and the stunning production design have made this such a weird mess of craziness that I still love and my kids love too! I totally agree that I have no idea how I had that much patience, but they have watched it twice this weekend alone! There is something special about this movie that goes beyond the sum of it's bizzare moving parts!! In my opinion this is ya'lls best honest trailer to date and that comes from a die hard fan of this film, Kuddos!!!

the Boo Box pirate is definitely memorable in this movie. I'm guessing because the screaming really has crying underneath it to make it more intense. Does that seem right, or how else would you describe it?

Oh and Hoffman does the voice of the pilot as its a long standing tradition in Peter pan productions that the actor playing Hook also plays Wendy's father... as Isaac's does in the 2003 version. But since that role is not in this film he was given the pilot role as a nod to Hook actor playing a second role.

I could see the early 90's Steve Martin pull it off. Or maybe Martin Short...

Doctor Cthulhu I don’t think that’s indisputable. Two of my favorite films/performances of his are Dead Poets Society and What Dreams May Come. I’m not discounting his comedy. His comedy has made me laugh till I had tears in my eyes. But as an actor he wasn’t just his comedy. He was often at his best when he was able to blend comedy and emotion. Which he did better and more authentically than anybody imo. His performances were consistently more vulnerable and accessible than I remember any of the other actors listed ever being.

@cjwrench07

5 жыл бұрын

Mary Zimmermann for sure his comedy had emotion, but the main theme was always the comedy part. His two major ones I think about most Mrs.Doubtfire and Jumanji, both had emotional moments for sure. But it was the comedic performances that made the movies. They were also the movies that did near the best at box office. Deadpool Poets and What Dreams are great movies, but they aren’t his iconic roles. I would guess those two aren’t the first ones, or even fourth movie, *most*, people remember about him. It was his comedic chops that really put him on the map, and which gave him the star power to do the more dramatic roles later on. Like we get none of Dead poets or What dreams, unless he makes his mark in. Mork&Mindy, Doubtfire, and Jumanji style roles.

@stackels97

Doctor Cthulhu ummmmmmm Dead Poets Society is one of Robins most well known roles of all time, as is his role in Good Will Hunting. Neither of which were comedic roles. Sure to the masses who don’t like to think so much, His comedic talent would stand out more, but without his depth, Robins work would never have been been as impactful as it was. Personally, other than Mrs. Doubtfire (which was also quite dramatic btw) and Aladdin, it was always Robins deeper roles that stood out.

Disappointed that there is no point out to Carrie Fisher and George Lucas' cameo. Just kidding. Maybe.

17:01 I would also add the film's score to that list. I still hold that "Hook" is one of the best scores John Williams has done during the second act of his career.

I was born in 93 and I loved it as a kid and still love it. I know its not perfect but it's still a fun movie.

8:58 I love when the guys talk in unison. They're merging like Venom. "We...are Screen Junkie"

In May, they did the Star Wars holiday special and the Ewok movies, which are from the 70's and 80's respectively.

I'm usually in agreement, but I fucking love Hook. I'm surprised they take issue with Peter being a dick most of the movie. It's the classic Scrooge scenario! Plus, the John Williams score perfectly compliments the solid-gold heart of the film. So when the orphans are standing up one by one at Wendy's honoring ceremony...Or when Pockets is grabbing at Robin's face and says, "Oh there you are Peter!"...Or when Pan's memories flood back inside the tree and he reflects on his children being born, then finally finds his happy thought...Or when Rufio humbly places the sword at his feet and says, "You are the Pan"...Or when Rufio dies and says he wishes he had a dad like him...None of this phased you jaded bastards??? Fair enough...P.S. I'm obsessed with Honest Trailers. Keep 'em coming.

I also couldn't believe how much patience I had as a kid because I loved this movie! It's definitely the cause of my childhood fear of being stolen from my parents while they were on a date and being locked in a chest with scorpions. Even still, I also think it's the best Peter Pan movie. It's very dark though....very dark. Loved the Avatar reference btw!

Thank goodness. I thought I was the only person who didn’t really like this movie. I thought it was watchable enough when I was a kid-probably a 5 out of 10-and as I got older that number got lower. I know so many people who absolutely love it.

Didn't see this one coming

DEEP BLUE SEA. SO EXCITED!!!!

Still one of my top favorite movies

A story in this universe that I have always wanted to see adapted for the screen is the origin story of Captain Hook simply called Capt. Hook. It is a rather dark book, very Tim Burton. It was actually written by J.V.Hart, one of the screenwriters for this movie. Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman are thanked in the endnotes. Highly recommended.

The one area where Hook improves when viewing as an adult is the relationship of Hook and Smee. As a kid, it's just a boss/devoted lackey relationship, but as an adult, it's very clear Hoffman and Hoskins are playing it as an old gay couple. In fact, Hoffman confirms it. From imdb: "In an interview with "Playboy" in 2004, Dustin Hoffman (Captain Hook) recalled his 'aha!' moment with 'Bob Hoskins' (Smee) about their characters being gay. They decided to play their characters as "a couple of old queens," because they felt J.M. Barrie, Peter Pan's creator, had created them that way: "Bob and I were rehearsing and suddenly we looked at each other and realized it at the same time. We said, 'These guys are gay....' and it was fun. Suddenly, we rehearsed it that way: 'Get over here, Smee. Give me a foot massage.' We went to Spielberg... and he said, 'This is a kids' movie.' Suddenly, it made all the sense in the world. They were really good friends. They lived on a ship. They were devoted to each other.""

Was Ryan Reynolds not the tween Pan in the Paltrow flash back?!?!

Was surprised to see a Hook Honest Trailers issued because of upcoming Christopher Robin movie. Maybe a CareBears movie is a closer match? I do remember liking Hook (as a child), but from current viewpoint all I can see is multiple court cases. A real mind bender would be doing an Honest Trailer/HT Commentary of Legend (1985) due to Tom Cruise's movie Mission:Impossible - Fallout.
