Hugo(2011)- User Reviews

What a great movie!

star55

My kids and I loved it! I have 2 boys, ages 8 and 4, and they were cheering on Hugo in the chase scenes. It was such a beautiful movie that kept our family mesmerized! We will be buying this movie when it comes out on DVD, too. The 3D was fantastic and the acting was truly terrific - I finally realized it was Sacha Baron Cohen, the guy who plays Borat, who was the inspector in the film and he was great, and so was the actor who played Hugo. Highly recommend!

    The cinematography was brilliant but the story didn't quite pan out in my opinion. **spoiler alert** .. I was hoping something magical happened when the automaton was finally restored and working. But nothing truly great happened.

    Yes, that was definately Johnny Depp. I thought so at first, but wasn't sure. The second tme I saw him it was positive. I am a Johnny Depp fan that goes way back to movies like Benny and Joon. You can not miss that beautiful, manly, sexy, face. I CHALLENGE Johnny Depp himself to say that was not him as a musician in the cafe. And if it is no my Johnny, then who is it!!!

    I agree, I only stayed because I was waiting for some great suprise or magical twist that never happened. but you got to give it some credit for the attention to detail and quality. I wish I had read more user reviews. this was just a hollywood plug to inspire a desperate industry.

    This movie was just awful #$%$ The only reason why it had Oscar nominations is because os the self-gratification of Hollywood. Any movie that glorifies the movie industry (or has a hint of the Holocaust in it) will receive Oscar nominations.

    Yeah, I forgot about the magical moving key on the tracks. And the train speed? Have you ever parked the car in your garage at 50 mph? Me neither. I also think Sacha Baron Cohen and the Doberman stole the show. #$%$ this movie made me mad.

    I agree with you completely. I fell asleep.

    You sum'd up a great movie pretty well except for the rate you gave it. I rate it higher and a little more magical.

    Agree, this was a boring waste of money. Would write a review but can't find 400 charterers worth of comments.

    How can someone give a movie review with only seeing the trailer? You can not go by what your friends say about the film! They probably never seen it either! The BOOOOOO review is bogus!

    I was disappointed with this movie. I had been looking forward to seeing it because of all the expectations through the media. At first I thought that it was a magical children's film but as it progressed it became long and boring. The special effects were excellent as was the acting but it just wasn't Academy Award material.
    It was interesting that as it supposedly took place in Paris most actors had English accents. I would not want to see this again but I did struggle through it.

    Couldn't disagree more. I saw this with our seven year old twice...and we loved it.
