To the chagrin of many of my friends, I have never been a fan of Hook. Never liked it. Something was wrong with it, and I just didn't know what, really. Then came Peter Pan a few years later with Jeremy Sumpter, and that wasn't very good, either. And then we had that godawful live broadcast atrocity with poor Christopher Walken as Hook just recently.
But finally! Finally, I think we have a Pan creation to rival the 1953 Disney version.
I've never been one much for origin stories, but this one looks intriguing and kindof all-around awesome. I really like the idea of Hook and Peter being friends before something comes between them. Stoked to see more of Rooney Mara on screen, but I think she'd be better suited for Wendy rather than Tiger Lily (were no actual Native American actresses available?).
And I reallllllly hope we see a crocodile. I want a Jaws-sized croc appearance.
