MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

wyldeone2 What a wonderful well told story. It covers every emotion and circumstance that a human could face and survive. Starting with the loss of Hugo's father we feel his sense of abandonment, his fear of the orphanage and confusion as to why that had to happen. As the story progresses we see a glimmer of hope as he is forced into his calling of being mechanically inclined by his uncle. But also from a young lady Isabelle who helps him in several ways, with access to books and a real mystery solving adventure. The back and forth between close calls in the train station melded with dreams and nightmares to actually being captured by the chief make us root for Hugo and feel the goodness in his heart. Love that blooms between supporting actors including dogs adds to the magic, the power that it has, does make changes for the better in everyone.I won't spoil the ending because it is too good and must be seen. I will mention the home from the great war scene that took its toll on millions of everyday people. The cinematography is superb along with the set designs. I finished watching it for a 2nd time on DVD after seeing it back when it was originally released. Hugo is a masterpiece and destined to become legendary like The Wizard of Oz. I rated it a solid 10/10 stars.

HotToastyRag While Martin Scorses's Hugo was a huge contender at the 2012 Oscars and took home five statuettes, the average audience member will come away from it thinking it was incredibly long and boring. What they don't know is the movie wasn't really made for the average person to appreciate—it was made for those who care about film history and preservation. Although the main hype was to educate people on the importance of film preservation, that message will go over most people's heads.A little boy, Asa Butterfield, lives in a train station, and as he grieves for his father, he feels compelled to solve a mystery involving his late father and others he hasn't yet met. While this is the main plot of the story, it's not executed very well. I saw this movie in the theaters, surrounded by lots of interested people, and hardly anyone could remember the key plot points once the film was over. The movie seems to bank on distracting the audience with very small parts by Sascha Baron Cohen, Emily Mortimer, Helen McCrory, Richard Griffiths, Christopher Lee, Jude Law, Ray Winstone, and Ben Kingsley. None of these people really advance the already thin story, but if they had, the story would have been infinitely more interesting.By the time the old footage of silent movies is shown, audiences have most likely checked out and aren't paying attention. If you're in Hollywood or film school, you'll think this is an essential movie that pays tribute to a wonderful era. If you're an average Joe, you'll think you were ripped off by your ticket price.

Christopher Shobris A true masterpiece by a master filmmaker, Martin Scorsese. By far this the best film I've seen from him. And that's saying a lot considering I've seen Wolf of Wall Street, The Departed, and The Aviator. What makes this work for me? The performances, the visual effects, and the story. Firstly, the master actor Ben Kingsley was the perfect choice to play Georges Melies as a defeated and broken man. Asa Butterfield proves to be the best child actor working today, he gives a very mature performance that I think Kingsley would approve of. Chloe Grace Moretz was more than just a typical love interest, but has a complex situation with her grandfather. The visual effects are astounding. The story I love most of all, it respectively pays tribute to the birth of cinema while also telling a touching, complex story. Overall, the film is very satisfying in all the right ways. The only negative I'd have to say is not much, I struggle to think of any gripes. So go see it, its worth a look.

Benedito Dias Rodrigues The main problem with Hugo is about artificially of the movie,the plot no make sense at all and those graphic computer spoils this poignant story, driven to kids or mature audiences didn't get the target on both sides, Ben Kingsley is inappropriate to the role...he played so many bad guys lately that the public don't forget...bad choice indeed...some characters don't have any connection with the story itself...despite Sacha Baron Cohen made a fine job as station inspector he is a bad guy...he send children to orphanage all the time without pity...the both leading children are amazing pure and without malice saves the movie...anyway Martin Scorsese made a movie that is out of the level...even that is a poignant story....watchable if you forget all thing above!!!
