Critics' reviews

"It does leave the viewer with a glow, and along the way it has magical moments, even if it's not fully magical as a whole"

Mick LaSalle: SFgate
"Peter Pan is the boy who wouldn't grow up, and Hook is the movie that grows unbearable once a grown-up Peter arrives in Neverland"

Mike Clark: USA Today
"A lugubrious retread of a once-magical idea (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"The film is too much; yet the charm of the Barrie original has not been entirely lost."

Vincent Canby: The New York Times
"It's sort of like 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'It's a Small World' rolled into one. It's a helluva contraption, and certainly one to be marveled at. It gives good ride."

Hal Hinson: The Washington Post
"As an action movie or a take on the Pan mythology, however, it never gets off the ground."

Bilge Ebiri: Rolling Stone
"The film is huge and impressive-though (...) it stubbornly and disappointingly remains at anchor (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"
