Hugo(2011)- User Reviews

I just got finished watching the movie, and I loved it... but I also read the book and loved it. It's a great story, with lots of great morals and quotes. It is a bit slow, but well worth it. I watched it with my sons - ages 11, 8, and 8 - and …more»

Watched this movie with my two kids (ages 9 and 12) and husband. We kept waiting for something exciting to happen. It was a total bore. The acting was good but the plot was awful. It was redundant and half the time didn't really make sense. I expected …more»

I rented this movie based on the awards it won. I kept waiting for a good story. None came. It was just a vehicle for Scorsese to slobber all over himself and his chosen career path. A boring homage to the early film industry. No plot. No entertainment. …more»

I wasn't sure that I was going to like this movie at first, and I wasn't sure what exactly I was watching. The movie is visually interesting, and appears to be part animation and part real life. It's confusing for a while, and borders on …more»
