Hook

hook is wonderous but also not that great.

its definitly got spirit all right, robin williams and dustin hoffman play both pan and hook excellently and its first act sets its main conflict up really well but the second act feels like it kinda does away with it and rather have kid hjinks. i mean pan stil wants his kids back but im not interested in the neverland kids here. for like 10 to 15 are spend with pan going "this is so weird" and yelling. the humor like pan himself is childish so it doesn't really land much for me.
i do think its 3rd act kinda saves it tho. hook has allot of flaws but its spirit and wonder makes it so compelling to watch through the end as well as robin williams.

I didn't like Hook as a child, but everyone else seemed to, so I wanted to revisit it. Two hours and twenty minutes just seems like a lot longer than it needs to be, and not getting to Never Never Land until ~40 minutes in made me antsy. Once it moved to Never Never Land it picked up for me, but it's still not really for me.
