>when the world tries to tell you Hook is not just a bad Spielberg movie, but a bad movie in general

Have the critics ever been THIS wrong?
>>
>>72043977
Yes. The BFG. Saw it tonight based on Armond's positive review and it was one of the best movies I saw this year.

Oh shit, really?

Oh God, he gave THAT a positive review? That movie was the worst movie I'd seen come from Spielberg in a long while. Boring giant walking around his house with stupid fart jokes. That breakfast scene was so out of place.
>>
>>72044026
Yeah, it's not perfect, but it's a really beautiful and magical experience that faggot kids of today can't appreciate, thus it's basically bombing at the box office.

I'll agree it was a little out of place, I enjoyed it regardless. The table made of grandfather clocks, that big plate of eggs and toast, it was all so visually comfy.

You're a crook, Captain Hook

>>72044079
I love this movie, but I hate that it's become a /tv/ meme. The contrarian in me wants to shit all over the film, but I can't, because I've liked it since before I ever even came to /tv/. I just want you guys to know that I hate you.
>>
It is not a terrible movie by any means, but the people calling it great nowadays are speaking out of nostalgia.

You sound like a grown up. All grown ups are pirates! ...we kill pirates.

Hoffman and Hoskins were the only good things about this movie.

I don't think I've ever met a person who disliked Hook.

It's a great story of rediscovering your childhood innocence. Has some really fun scenes. Some great music. And really classic performances throughout. What more do you want us to say?

Likewise. Even on repeated viewings with a cynical grown-ups eyes it still holds up.

Was it really critically panned or did it just not do well at the box office?

it was panned

film critics just weren't hooked

Replacing the neverland pirates with somalians sounds like such a Max Landis pitch

Hook is a classic. Easily the best family film ever. It was the blueprint for all modern adaptations. It would fit right at home between Maleficent and Jurassic World

It's the one film I watched as a kid that made me go: "That's the career I want".
Unfortunately, there is only one captain Hook.
