Hook (1991)
026 - A re-imagining of a classic via a soft reboot with a twist? What is this, 2019? No, it was 1991, where Steven Spielberg brought us his take on the boy who never grew up, all grown up! Yes, we are talking about Hook, the two-and-a-half hour long movie about a jerk dad who is a lawyer or something, with some Peter Pan stuff in the middle. In other words, there was a lot more in here than we remembered, and it raised a few questions - like why does everyone want to kiss Peter? Did Rufio get the justice he deserved? How many wax strips were involved in removing all of Robin William's body hair for this role? And ultimately, does this childhood classic hold up today?
