The most laborious, grating, and unmagical film Spielberg has ever directed, the ridiculously popular "Hook" has never been one of my family film favorites and it never will.

What if Captain Hook kidnapped his kids and he had to remember who he was? And how did he come to Neverland in the first place?

I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. I thought it was great at the time. Just about anything that Robin WIlliams was in was a hit with kids, and this was no exception.
