Taking a modern-day look at your old beloved childhood film Hook would normally be an ill-advised decision. Watching Steven Spielbergs offbeat fairtytale through adult eyes reveals a creepy quality, with some bad acting and storytelling to boot. It just doesn't seem right Dustin Hoffman hiding under that grisly, dirty pirate beard. A lot of what appeared as spellbinding when you were kid, comes off as simply irritating when viewing as an adult. Its a rare Spielberg misfire that would ordinarily be best avoided, but Hook does offer a few crazy crumbs of comfort. Amidst Spielbergs sea of swashbuckling oddities lies pop-rock ballad singer Phil Collins, cranking the films weird factor up to eleven. As far as film goes, Collins is probably destined for an everlasting association with Tarzan tunes. But if youre ever up for seeing him push away his piano to work a police case, then look no further than Hook. And why wouldnt you want to see that?
