Steven Spielberg: EVERY Movie Ranked Worst To Best

27. Hook (1991)

ET The Extra Terrestrial
Amblin

Following the late-life adventures of a grown-up, boring Peter Pan (Robin Williams), Spielberg's take on the age-old bedtime story is a bit of a mess.

Alongside Williams' uncharacteristically subdued performance and the bafflingly long runtime, Hook is a film where the best aspect is Dustin Hoffman's take on the evil, paranoid titular character.

Unfortunately, though, Hoffman isn't enough to keep the film afloat, and outside of some so-so action scenes and an emotional family themed plot running through it, Hook watches like an over-long film bursting with potential that just... never lands.

I get to write about what I love, so that's pretty cool. Every great film should seem new every time you see it. Be excellent to each other.
