| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleHook is jam-packed with ''entertainment value,'' enough to give you your money's worth, and to guarantee (in all probability) that Spielberg earns his. Yet something has clouded this director's vision... The problem isn't that Spielberg has lost his gift for fantasy. It's that he no longer seems to know (or care) about anything else. |
| Orlando SentinelJay BoyarIt's a lot of fun to watch - over two hours of thrills, spills, elaborate sets and special effects, all tied together by a pleasingly varied (and lighter than usual) musical score by John Williams. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonSpielberg and Co. have finally made their Disney movie -- or better yet, their film version of a theme park at Disneyland. 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. |
| Cinemaphile.orgDavid KeyesThe movie is a strong reminder of the freedom of youth and the quest for pure adventure, one that looks to the stars and sees the possibilities are as bright as a child's own imagination. |

| Portland OregonianTed MaharFor very much like Peter, it has clearly gotten harder for this director to break free of the lure of material things and believe in simple magic. And whatever problems his Hook has, there are none that making the film on half of its budget wouldn't have cured. |
| Deseret News (Salt Lake City)Chris HicksIt's worth a look. But overall, Hook feels like an exercise in cynicism. |
| The Robot's VoiceLuke Y. ThompsonIn the end, Hook isn't great or terrible, but it's both - a film that has some wonderful moments, and some really awful ones |
| Your Movies (cleveland.com)Gerry ShamrayIt should have been great but it just doesn't have enough magic dust to fly. |
| Chicago TribuneDave KehrLike the massive shipboard set that is its centerpiece, the film is huge and impressive - though, again like the captain's imposing vessel, it stubbornly and disappointingly remains at anchor. Hook never sets sail. |
