Hook (Full Movie Reaction)

Comments

It would be a commitment but you guys should totally watch the Once Upon a Time series. So good!

Ashley

another very whimsical movie that you might like is the spiderwick chronicles, its based on my favorite book series from childhood and its very underrated imo

luca

I love Robin Wiliams. So many of his films are amazing. Have you seen Dead Poets Society?

Helen

Ive rewatched Avatar so many times through reactions that now, revisiting Hook after decades, all I can see and hear is Zuko. Ugh the best character </3

Jenna Antonelli

Wow, I havent watched this since I was a kid. I remember watching it all the time..now being 36 and rewatching this after probably more than 20 years.. and im bawling LOL. This is a TOTALLY different experience as an adult. It hurts but in a good way. OOF!

For some reason I was obsessed with Peter Pan when I was little and I loved Hook as a kid, but I definitely appreciate it way more as an adult! It's has such depth and timeless themes. It has a gravitas and melancholy to it while also remaining silly and playful. The script and the score are just gorgeous! Even though I'm not a parent, I love it when media made for children is also made with the parents in mind. In a lot of ways this movie is almost MORE for the parents than the kids because, at its core, it's a movie about parenthood. Really enjoyed watching this one with you guys. Would love to see you react to the 2003 version of Peter Pan at some point. It's not nearly as praiseworthy as this one, but it features Lucius Malfoy as Mr. Darling/Hook!

I will always love Rufio. Fun fact, he's Zuko from the original Avatar show.

Seriously 🥹 you guys are just simply the best reactors. Thank you for being genuine and open to being vulnerable and real. The best ❤️😭💕

Hey Jamie

WAIT. BOYS. WHAT IS THIS MERCH YOU’RE DONNING?!?!? Will there be zip up hoodies?!? I CANT WAIT TO TIE DYE ONE

Hey Jamie

9:41 that’s Ryan’s headshot ahahahaha

Hey Jamie

Just started the video, already know you guys will cry at this one. It’s one of the few DVDs I still own, and yes I bought it as an adult. Also, youngish Hoffman playing Captain Hook reminds me of my dad (looks only) in the 80s! Lol

Will still needs to introduce Jacob to Legend…watching Tim Curry be a scary (but somehow attractive) beast!!

Oh and the scene in Captain Hook’s quarters reminds me of a scene in Stardust (2007), starring Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer, Claire Danes, and Henry Cavill…that’s another whimsical film that is a must see.

This film is a fantastical masterpiece. So nostalgic, and so quotable. Bang-a-rang!! You’re doing it Peter! Good Form, or Bad Form! Find your happy thoughts! I will always tear up every time I watch Pockets smoosh Peter’s face and say “oh there you are Peter”. 🥹 The cast is amazing! There’s no other Captain Hook, Peter Pan, Tink, Smee, and on and on. This movie will make you teary eyed with laughter and sad moments. Oh and the score throughout…Whimsical!!

“Whimsy Chills!” ✨ Merch tagline?!? Thoughts. 😉

VirtuallyVeronicka

Whimsy chills are the best! I get the same chills watching Jim Henson's Layrinth, The Dark Crystal, Legend (1985) and NeverEnding Story.

Good form, RRHQ. Good form indeed. I’m so glad it affected you like it did everyone who saw this as it came out or got the VHS tape a year after. It just makes you look at life a little different. Great reaction as always. You may have to start titling the videos, ‘Emotional Dads Watch…’ 🤣❤️

Crystal Taylor

I’m currently sending a few photos of Ryan and I from my computer to my phone (Ryan = young Peter and my ex lol) so I can share them on the discord lol it’s taking forever. Montana Internet.

Hey Jamie

That’s amazing!!!

Love that you love it!

Fun facts: The pirate in the scorpion box was Glenn Close in drag in an uncredited role & Dustin Hoffman, who played Hook, was also the voice of the pilot. But my favorite fact is that the actors who play Smee & Hook secretly decided together to portray their roles as if they were "two old queens," as they both interpreted Barrie writing them as a gay couple. Spielberg found out & wasn't happy about it because he worried about it being "a kid's movie." They did it anyway & agreed it added something additional to the performance & I agree!

I love that you have the movies now so I don't have to go looking through my many subscriptions for it!!!
