Is Hook Horrible? - Talking About Tapes

- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- Tony, Newt, and Crystal get together to Talk about Steven Spielberg's HOOK!
In this Podcast/Movie Review they will discus all the things that might be horrible in the film. Like the sets that look like an obvious theme park, the terrible acting by Julia Roberts, and the weak script.
When his young children are abducted by his old nemesis, Capt. Hook (Dustin Hoffman), middle-aged lawyer Peter Banning (Robin Williams) returns to his magical origins as Peter Pan. Peter must revisit a foggy past in which he abandoned Neverland for family life, leaving Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) and the Lost Boys to fend for themselves. Given their bitterness toward Peter for growing up -- and their allegiance to their new leader, Rufio -- the old gang may not be happy to see him.

Newt telling a story that has nothing to do with the episode and Crystal looking at him annoyed, name a more iconic pairing.
I noticed that too. It’s like she’s wishing he’d just die. 🤣
@@kurtfranklin2680 get your looks straight bub, it's more a look of I can't believe I used to bangarang that.
@@BytesAndBoats ugh
😂😂😂😂
@@Crystalquin Newt is hot af.
Poor Crystal. You know people say "such and such did this to a franchise and it killed my childhood"? Well it looks like Newt and Tony are not only killing Crystal's childhood but may have sexually assaulted the corpse before burning it
@@Ovan188 if you are that attached to your childhood you should seek a professional
Hack the Movies. Come for the review; stay for Newt's weird stories, Crystal's annoyed expressions, and Tony's attempts to keep things on track.
i wish someone would make a supercut of all of Newt's weird stories
this
What an insightful, 100% accurate summary! 😂
I am with Crystal on this one. It was made for 90’s kids and Tony said it himself, at the time he liked the movie. It’s a kids movie and much of the “issues” like imagination food etc work when it’s in that context of it being a kids fantasy film. Of course it’s not gonna work the same for jaded adults looking at it now, of course kids these days because of how kids movies these days are different etc that they too might not like it.
I agree with the sentiment exactly. It was a perfectly 80’s and 90’s movie concept about cherishing childhood imagination and innocence. It’s not FOR jaded adults.
Yea its like films from the 90s were written to be a fun little ride you went on and werent meant to be picked apart or over analyzed to death. They are the actual GOOD examples of turn off your brain and watch the movie
that - Crystal got it.
@Peter Gasoline You JUST realized that?
Right?! The props and sets were pretty awesome back then. Like a park you’d want to play in. And with the darker stuff, yah movies back then had sad scenes and good guys died etc kinda like how TMNT was awesome and not 100% juvenile
Spiderman review- everyone is having a good time.
Hook review- Crystal is about to attack Newt and Tony with 1 of the clocks.
You're not wrong
@@Crystalquin vengeance shall be yours! lol
I endorse this.
@@Crystalquin Gives new meaning to "clocking" someone.😅
@@JohnClark-tt2bl Actually, that's the old meaning
This was the most passionate I've seen Crystal on a movie review! I loved how she actually didn't take Newt and Tony's crap for once😂. I love the lengths of these reviews and listening to their miscellaneous banter! I actually prefer Talking About Tapes over rental reviews because, as much as I always liked James, he obviously didn't have enough time to digest the films or maybe even watch the ones he was reviewing on there. I like this format and never miss an episode.
Crystals face whenever Newt or Tony talks over her is perfect lol
Toxic masculinity.
Like she never cuts off anyone else lol. People really only see what they want to.
this might be my favourite episode yet guys! The way Tony and Newt kept provoking Crystal, the Carrie Fisher doing charlie impression, the jokes about Tinkerbell..i almost woke my neighbours laughing!
: )
God Bless Crystal. Shes the only one that understands that the movie is suppose to be like a whimsical stage play. Suspending disbelief and not overanalyzing things is a core tenant of the film and its totally lost on Tony and that little angry dude
Crystal is the real MVP of this episode
Mvp of the series....
yeah, she's a real champ for sticking it out through this ambush of their negativity about a fucking kids movie
Definitely. Chrystal’s the fat one with the mustache right
Simp
Tony: "I've set these alarms to make sure the video isn't too long."
Me, who can see that this video is an hour and forty two minutes: "this is gonna be good..."
Loved this movie as a kid. It was a fun watch as a youngster. Still like it to this day. RIP Robin Williams
R.I.P. Robin Williams
He died?!
@@Duffmanee where have you been for the last several years? Lol
@@John.Kramer so worlds greatest dad was documentary?
@@Duffmanee you could say that...
It’s a fine movie. Not great, but certainly not bad. Has great things in it for sure. Dante is perfect and Hoffman and Hoskins were perfectly off each other.
But you have to Admit... Capitan Hook has MAD clothes style, Red & Gold is the BEST pirate colors. ( on the "Sea of Theives" pirate game i use red & gold on clothes & ship )
I have so much nostalgia and warm feeling for this film, which no doubt clouds my judgement. I usually watch it around Christmas, and while not really a Christmas movie, I associate it with my childhood and it makes me feel ‘Christmassy.’
Maybe the story is a bit weak, and I didn’t really like the new lost boys, who had American accents for some reason. But the music is fantastic (John Williams knocked it out of the park), the costumes are fantastic, and Hoffman and Hoskins are fantastic. It’s a great kids movie, and I can happily sit through it every year or so as a grown adult.
It came out Dec 11 1991. Maybe that's part of why you associate it with Christmas. I remember it being cold out when we went to see it.
Since it was set around Christmas you can just call it an alternative Christmas movie. Like die hard
Your judgement is crystal clear. This movie is objectively superb... compared to nowadays crap it's a masterpiece.
the face newt makes while crystal talks about imagination is priceless
We need a Team America World Police Review
@Jäger dayman?? Fighter of the nightman???
Crystal's reactions throughout this review are priceless! Her reaction to the Nana 9 and when Tony smashes the clocks are the best! But I am with her on this one, Hook is a nostalgic film that I still enjoy today, knowing it was made for kids who grew up in the 90's like me. Yes, there are issues watching it as an adult, but still a great popcorn flick.
DO NOT MAKE THE EPISODES SHORTER!!!!!!!!!! If someone thinks they're too long then they can turn it off when they're sick of it. This is a show where people bs and tell stories. There are tons of 5 minute movie review channels on YT if you want a legit movie review.
I love the longer reviews.
90 minutes to 2 hours is a great review length.
IT'S SNOWING!
I use this whenever it's raining, snowing, hailing or even sunny.
People are always confused, I'm always amused
Crystal's reliably correct throughout this episode.
THANK YOU
@@DaveDuncanMusic 40 minutes in and I haven't heard any arguments from them on why this movie sucks, like that.
The absolute look of disgust and hatred on crystal's face is priceless.
Newt Pan must find his happy place to save Crystal from the evil Captain Tony and Mr. Justin. BANGARANG!!
Crystal is just steaming this whole episode, that's funny!
Crystal's reactions in this were fantastic. Glad that someone spoke up for this film.
Never understood the hate for this film. It’s a totally fine pleasant children’s movie. Even messy Spielberg is Spielberg.
to all the people who HATE on women with short hair... just remember how good
Julia Roberts looks in this movie. ( or look at Halle Barry or Keira Knightley )
@@freemovies3524
Are there people that hate on women with short hair?
Women look amazing with short hair.
I'm sure they're hetrophobic homosexuals.
Definite closet cases.
The same people that claim to have "a type."
@@abegarfield543 yeah i have seen a lot of hate for women with short hair...some guys will say "she looks like a man with short hair" or something similar. i'm just VERY happy that shorthair is more in style these days in TV/movies.
@Gator Mike well you sound like a Hater...Gator !
There are legit criticisms I agree with (too long, sets look cheap, and the final fight is a bit confusing) but yeah it’s fine for what it is.
I like Hook. It's one of the first movies I've seen as a kid and it's still entertaining. Love the comedic duo Hoskins-Hoffman. I think "Always" is Spielberg schmaltz at its worst.
Don't ever change Crystal! Tony and Newt must have put on their hater pants for this video! lmao
There’s a least 1 man in his 30’s that thinks the movies ok. Crystal was 100% right this entire review.
I can't believe Tony lost his V-card to "Gone In Sixty Seconds". That seems like a cruel joke. 😆
Hey Tony, I think you are getting a lot better. I think this channel is superior to similar channels. Good job dude
YES ! i have been a fan of Tony & the others since "Rental Reviews" !!! ( watched every episode when new )
Yeah tony and the crew are great honestly better here than on rental reviews
Crystal's right here, Hook might not be the greatest movie ever but I felt like the other two guys nitpicked it to death.
Crystal is literally Wendy for the lost man children....😁
I love this comment!!!!!!
Newt and Tony clearly turned into the adults without imagination that the Lost Boys never wanted to turn into. Young Newt and Tony would probably be very disappointed. XD
Poor crystal, she's so rustled!
My dad took me to see this, we only went to the movies like 3 times my entire life, so I love this movie. RIP Daddy
Another fun review! Side note: Popeye was filmed in Malta, not Greece. The set is still there and is an amusement/tourist destination. It received a much needed facelift about 10 years ago.
I'm with you on the supportive parents, Crystal.
God dammit Crystal. Why are you the only voice of reason on this show? Lol. All seriousness as a thespian and ball player, I NEVER had my folks at my events. ✊🏾 Respect.
It's funny how Crystal literally said at the beginning of this review, the point of the movie was to re-spark your childhood imagination and Tony and Newt go straight into the cynical adultish critique of this film. Also I bet Newt liked this movie as a kid. Stop trying to act like your to cool for what the movie was made for.
This was the last review we shot before half of my face broke. could be from my seething disdain for this movie
What?
Bell's palsy
@@bodybag22 yes
Method acting two face now?
Jokes aside I hope you recover quickly, you're always entertaining in these.
I wish you a safe recovery, Newt. I sometimes get random seizures (usually narcolepsy related though) and start losing feeling in half my face, so no jokes from this internet rando here.
I had no idea this flick was that divisive. I was 9 when this came out and I've always thought it was universally loved. I guess it was just my generation who quotes it on the regular lol
Hook is one of my favorites from childhood, I never understand why it was universally panned
@@NinjaTylerBlack I’ve gone back and watched it again a couple years ago and doesn’t change a thing, still great
It's because the people panning the movie were adults and it was a movie for kids.
@@xenos_n. facts
She was right about many things, these guys did horrible job. She was the start of this episode. the goal was to find his happy place, to re discover about his kids.
I was in the theatre to watch Peter Pan with Jeremy Sumpter and his family Christmas Eve 2003. I thought it was so cool that he spoke to us about his training and experiences before the movie started.
Crystal giving good arguments and the clocks bit saved this review for me.
Tony's reveal of Nana 9, Crystal's internal crisis, and Newt laughing like Vincent price sold it for me.
"Its 1985 David Bowie from the movie Hook Brett" - Nah, you werent in that Bowie - "Then WHERE did I get this eyepatch... thats right Brett, from a funky pirate ship"
I'm 100% with Crystal here. Call me a girly man, sensitive, but I was the son of a damn psychotherapist so yeah...I got more the meanings and messages. At the same time, sure, it's got cringe moments and totally nonsensical stuff. But I DO NOT CARE. I love it and always will and Dustin Hoffman is an AMAZING Hook.
I'm so sorry for Newt getting the NES game as a kid. Traumatizing.
I have a great memory of going to the rental store and seeing the Hook game. I never rented it, lol.
@@xenos_n. dodged a bullet that day
The Sega Genesis game is better
I thought the sets were fantastic, Dustin Hoffman as Hook was cool, and Robin Williams as Peter Pan was good. Also, Maggie Smith in old age make looks exactly like she does now is uncanny.
I never viewed the crocodile as coming back to life. I just view that it got knocked loose and then fell down like a statute. It doesn't look alive to me.
I've always enjoyed Hook. I know that it's one of the few movies that Spielberg himself didn't like, but it's a lot better than he's giving it credit for. I saw the movie in '91 in the theater, then watched it on VHS for many years later. It's a classic in my book.
Huh, there's a scene in season 3 of Boardwalk Empire where a boy shows a picture he drew of a rhino at a train station to people, who don't get it. He shows it to Richard Harrow, and he sees it and understands what it is. Sounds like The Little Prince, which Crystal likes.
54:27 - the exact moment Crystal regretted agreeing to do this episode 😂
Right?
Someone call OSHA! No safety glasses! Oh and I don’t think I’ll get over the term “Fairy bean” 😂
Ah, the power trio! This was highly enjoyable from start to finish😂
Crystal's existential terror makes this your best review ever!
What the guys are saying and not saying is that Peter gave up everything for Moira and I don't think they understand that lol. Go Crystal.
I was expecting Crystal to levitate at the end and flip the bird to Tony and Newt!
When i was a kid i always thought the alligator clock just fell down and crushed Hook lol. I never realized it was supposed to be alive again.
Yeah that would’ve made more sense.
Here, it just comes across as confusing and not clear what happened to him.
Peter and captain hook were best friends but Peter wanted a family and to grow up but had to leave to do it. Hook was possed and swore to take all the kids and make them grow up. All the pirates are grown lost boys. The og story is even darker tho.
I’m with crystal tony and newt are way too cynical sometimes.
It's more fun that way.
The Newt and Crystal show, feat. that other guy they allow to sit in with them. I approve.
49:27 Get over it Tony, Bob Hoskins got chosen by Italians to play an actual Italian in the movie "Il Papa Buono" (The Good Pope) so he got a retroactive pass.
Newts bit about the Shadow if Peter Pan got shot got me 😂
I love the movie for the performances, the set design, and how much fun it is. You can harp on it for the crappy songs and the hokey stuff, but it's a fun movie. I don't think there's anything to be so militantly against it.
Gone in 60 Seconds, that needs to be Tony's nickname.😂🤣
the number of times Crystal is watching the screen like in malcom in the middle is hilarious
nice show every one
Tony and Newt need to let Crystal talk more, the way she was trying to get her opinion out about this movie while they both just talked over the top of her laughing at aspects of this movie she found dear to her is kinda sad. Im with Crystal, Hook brings me to tears every time I watch it, such a beautiful movie thematically
We kicked Newt off the show over a year ago and complaints about talking over people dropped significantly.
What Newt says about the fans of He-man he can apply to himself.
"Hook is not like the Peter Pan I remembered"
Grow up your man child.
who said it had to be the one i remember. all i want is a good story
@@newtonwallen3210 He-man fans too.
What a fantastic crew of wonderful people. You guys crack me up! Thank you for the content guys.
I love that nearly every episode is longer than the actual movie.
Hello from Kentucky, Hack the Movies! I’m a new subscriber and first time commenter. I’ve been binging your videos for a week or two and can’t get enough.
I wanted to comment how much I love the format and hope the hour plus long videos never stop. You guys help to occupy my mind and entertain on those late nights tossing and turning.
Keep making these and I’ll keep watching! Wishing you guys all the best!
thank you
I'm surprised it took Hook as long as it did to find Peter Pan, because "Peter Banning" is a terrible fake name. It's way too similar to his real name! It's like if Tony was hiding from the Great Newt Horde and their overlord, The Dark Queen Crystal, and he changed his name to "Tommy the Film Hacker." The newts would find Tony immediately, because he's famous like Peter Pan.
I’ve learned to take this channel’s opinions on films with a grain of salt. Remember, these are the same guys who said Ghostbuster 2 is terrible and Phantom Menace was great.
Don't listen to these heathens Crystal. I understand you.
I love this movie.
Up yours, Newt!
And you to a lesser degree, Tony!
hehehe
Krystals smile, 🔥. Newts, stories 🔥 Tony's movie takes, 🔥. PS. Tony as a fellow Italian, dont wear pink haha. Love you guys keep it up
i thought Tony said he is Irish :)
@@max.zelinskihm. for some reason I remember when they bring up the mario movie he says something like " why did the Mario movie do this to my people" could be wrong. What I am not wrong about is the pink shirt haha
Hook really sucks, but Crystal is making solid arguments for why people like it.
Indiana Jones and Crystals a Numbskull was the title Spielberg wanted to use but Lucas vetoed it sadly.
Am 39 mins in an pretty sure Crystal going to punch newt or Tony by the end hahs
Keep it up Crystal!! I'm happy you were there defending it! :D
Man Newt seems like a blast at parties...poor Crystal.
Labyrinth is an example of how to properly design a studio set to portray artificial depth, which is the problem with this movie.
Also may I add, the comment on why the sets look like a stage play...think on what you just said. Now I don't know if it was INTENTIONAL, but that's WHY I love the sets. Peter Pan WAS a stage play originally!
Guys! Can we get a Harry Potter episode? 👀 loving all of these!!!
Mary Martin was the really famous actress that played Peter Pan on stage and in fact she was the first to do so. Cathy Rigby was later, I am not surprised Tony remembers her as she was the actress when he was a kid in the 90's. Newt you however are just a little older than I am and you should have remembered Mary Martin, they used to show her tv version every year around Christmas in the 80's right up through the early 90's. Both Mary Martin and Cathy Rigby versions were released on VHS, The Cathy Rigby version might have a DVD, I am not sure if the Mary Martin version ever got a DVD. I still have my Mary Martin version on VHS.
1:25:44 I always thought the hand thing was them playing with their pretend wattles since they crow like roosters.
I subscribe to the theory they are makeshift rooster wings
@@kevinr.3542 Because roosters have wings under their chins? Go to any wedding and watch people dance to the chicken dance song, not one person is putting their hands underneath their chins. No one in the history of imitating a chicken wing has ever put their hands under their neck.
@@thrilhous ok you have a point. It must have something to do with the wattles like you said.
Hook??? I thought you were gonna review "Frankenhooker" for some reason, hook is kinda in the title. Hopefully we get a "Death to Smoochy" review eventually.
I love Death to Smoochy
@@HackTheMovies same here dude. Robin Williams was great in it.
@@HackTheMovies another RUclips movie review channel JUST did a review of "Death to Smoochy" this week. the channel name is: "Welcome to the Basement" ( but HACK THE MOVIES IS BETTER EVERYONE )
@@patrickcharles6983
Frankenhooker is great.
@@abegarfield543 most definitely 👍
Hook when I was nine was awesome. I still kinda like it. Dustin Hoffman, Roberts, and wasnt thudbutt in there? Robin Williams plays a dad who was peter pan but grew up to be boring. His son gets taken by Hook, and then was held hostage until dad could save him.
Robin williams training with the kids, the skateboarding, rufio, the food fight...its all just so strange. Thanks.
Ahhh, finally! The Orgiatic Triangle returns.
I'm with Tony on the parents being away thing. As a kid whose dad was gone at work a lot due to starting a business while I was in middle school, I loved my dad being away. He couldn't completely ruin my day and drive me crazy by setting ridiculous limits and being and punishing me for nothing at all if he wasnt around. I loved it.
P.S. As a kid I stopped giving a shit whether my dad came to support me for things after I was 8 and realized that investment came with no returns. But I also realize not every child hated their parent for making them into a crazy person.
Crystals view of Hook is spot on. It's a great movie.
I am never going to be able to look at this movie the same way ever again after watching this lol
Ok so in the Victorian era Peter was taken to neverland. In neverland he stopped ageing like the lost boys also do. All adults in neverland are pirates. If you grow up you’re doomed to be a villain.
Peter stated aging because he kept spending so much time visiting in London. Then he met Moira and decided to stay and started ageing like a normal person.
There is actually answers for the vast majority of these questions they have that are constant with the books. However, they are missing the biggest answer from the movie. There is supposed to be this ambiguity about if any of this was actually real or not. Did he go to Neverland, or did he have a break with reality? Everyone in Neverland was actually people from the real world. Even Captain Hook was the plane captain from the plane over there.
Dante Basco was in a companion short film, just a cameo, that explained Ruphio was from the 1980s and went to neverland after his mother is deported.
"I had to keep stopping this movie and going to do something else and keep coming back to finish it" ...what were you doing that was SO much more interesting than Hook???? paying bills? doing dishes??? vacuuming??? Really? THATS how desensitized you've become since you first watched this? You've become Peter Panning!? ...smh.....BANGARANG!
I love the debate about a movie that came out 28 years ago like it's a modern blockbuster. I also enjoyed this movie when I was young, a resurrection of Peter Pan. Peace and love from London, England.
When Crystal says she picked career over family and Tony said well that what the democrats told you to do, I lost it lol
