Some would suggest that it is at the point where he finds Claudius praying and has a chance to kill him. Hamlet does not take the danger Claudius poses to him as seriously as he should. This would have been an excellent opportunity to deal with Claudius and stave off his malice, but Hamlet wants a perfect opportunity and thus allows that malice to set events in motion.
Others might look at the killing of Polonius as a critical moment. Before he does this he is just a harmless eccentric but now he is a dangerous criminal. Polonius's death speeds up Claudius's plans to get rid of Hamlet, drives Ophelia crazy and brings Laertes on a revenging rampage.
