Story: Hugo is an orphan boy living in the walls of a train station in 1930s Paris. He learned to fix clocks and other gadgets from his father and uncle which he puts to use keeping the train station clocks running. The only thing that he has left that connects him to his dead father is an automaton (mechanical man) that doesn't work without a special key which Hugo needs to find to unlock the secret he believes it contains. On his adventures, he meets with a shopkeeper, George Melies, who works in the train station and his adventure-seeking god-daughter. Hugo finds that they have a surprising connection to his father and the automaton, and he discovers it unlocks some memories the old man has buried inside regarding his past. Written bynapierslogs

Hugo (2011) Review by dekadent from Atlanta, US

Hugo is a beautifully made movie with great 3D effects. Yet with themisleading advertising, the story that goes nowhere, and with over 2hour runtime it is one hell of a boring movie.

Please do not believe 8.3 IMDb and 94% RT ratings, this movie one ofthe most overrated movies in the history of the film, the word'history' is the key one here. When everything is said and done Hugoreveals itself as nothing but a cleverly disguised homage to one of theFrench pioneering movie directors, a subject interesting primarily forthe movie history buffs.

As I said Hugo is hugely misrepresented in advertising. Every postertells you that some Narnia type adventure is awaiting you. All thetrailers were masterfully crafted to leave you with expectation ofmagical miracle. The words like 'quest' and 'mystery' are a part ofHugo's brief description on each and every site, just read what it sayson IMDb. Furthermore the word "adventure" is lavishly sprinkledthroughout the Hugo's first part. And yes, great Martin Scorsese isbehind all of it, so what should you expect but a magical adventure ona grandeur scale ?

Sorry, you will get none of that. Yes, Hugo is like a charming 3DFrench postcard, but its not worth looking at for over 2 hours. 3Deffects are well done, yet absolutely not required for this story thatnever leaves the setting of Paris train station.

While plot has some holes, the elephant in the room is that pretty muchnothing happens in the movie with all these mechanical dolls, goldenkeys, and the visually rich Dickensian atmosphere. And be sure, thereis absolutely no magic, or any type of adventure hidden here.

I am giving Hugo just one star to counter misleading ads and all thosehypists that ether work for the studio, or easily hypnotized by bigdirector's name. Please have few good games on your smartphone andbring a thermos with coffee if you decide to go see this snoozefest,you will need it.

Hugo (2011) Review by achsaphillippi8

Martin Scorsese's first kid's movie falls short of its expectations.After seeing the trailers, my family and I had very high expectationsfor this movie, and we eagerly went out and saw it in the theaters. Wewalked out extremely disappointed.

First of all, the trailers were completely misleading. My firstimpression was that the movie was about a boy trying to uncover a greatmystery left behind in the wake of his father's death. I thought themovie was going to open up into an enchanting adventure, complete withsuspense, action, and magic. I didn't get any of those things. Thismovie starts out will a long build-up, with the audience waiting forthis magical adventure to get underway, only to keep them waiting foranother hour or so, where nothing interesting or magical happens.

The pacing in the movie is terrible. The movie opens with some stunningvisuals, the camera panning over the Paris cityscape and eventuallyshowing us around the train station where the protagonist, Hugo, lives.We get the story of his father's death, and are left with a sense ofwonder. We want to know what the automaton is for, why Ben Kingsely'scharacter is so bitter, and what this adventure Hugo promises hislittle gal-friend is and when it's going to happen. The movie startsand stops, then drags for a bit, then starts, and drags for a long timebefore grinding to an unsatisfying halt. The adventure doesn't happen.All that waiting around... for nothing.

I don't really know what to say about the acting in this movie. Most ofthe actors had good moments and bad moments. The dialog was lacking.The characters spent more time staring at each other than actuallytalking. Some of the facial expressions and emotional reactions were alittle on the melodramatic side. (POSSIBLE SPOILERS)Ben Kingsley getspissy because the two kids find out that he used to make movies? Hugothrows a fit because the automaton didn't work as he expected to? Idon't think these were appropriate responses to their situations.

The one good thing I have to say about this movie is that the visualswere absolutely gorgeous. From the cold blue lighting in the snowyoutdoor scenes, to the orange-y warmth of the train station, to thepowerful metallic essence of the gears and clockwork in the tower, thismovie has some of the best 3D effects that I've seen since that awful,shallow Avatar. The problem is, the magical visuals cannot make up forthe drab and very UN-magical story.

Overall, the magical, engaging adventure the trailers promised does notexist. The movie's pace is very slow. Some of the acting isquestionable. The visuals were good, but they didn't save the movie. Donot go to this movie expecting something with substance. And definitelydo not bring your kids to this movie; they will be bored to tears.

Hugo (2011) Review by dslowen from United States

A movie about the silent film industry with an automaton set in a train station? Sounds good doesn't it. This was a movie with potential, but it fell short so much so that I'm not going to waste my time giving it a detailed, complete critique. So here's the bullet points: The transitions were horrendous. The scenes jumped so much that half the time i didn't know where the characters were or where they were going.The boy who played Hugo was terrible. He was hired for his blue-sad eye stare. That was it, no range of emotion past the stare.The Station Inspector was a strange character. When you make an injured war veteran the comic relief (not in a heartwarming way, but a feels awkward to laugh at his injury sort of way) there's something wrong. Pitiable and sad to hear others in the theater laugh at him.The dialog was vapid and moronic. "Everything has a purpose in life... even machines". Well ya, machines have a purpose otherwise we wouldn't bother having them!! I could bury myself with all the plot holes in this movie. Nuf said.Overall no heart to the story. I can't waste anymore time reviewing this disappointing movie. Bottom line: Don't bother.
