8. Hook
When you team Steven Spielberg up with Robin Williams, you would expect to see a masterpiece of cinema, but that’s not the way critics saw it. This movie about a grown up Peter Pan who returns to Neverland has a mere 30% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The vast majority of critics hated Hook. Some called it exposition heavy and overstuffed.
Audiences certainly didn’t seem to mind that, and simply enjoyed the fun nature of the film. Audiences gave the film a 76% on Rotten Tomatoes. Even Spielberg himself didn’t care for the movie. In 2013 he said: “I want to see Hook again because I so don’t like that movie, and I’m hoping someday I’ll see it again and perhaps like some of it.”
