Hugo

Well. Well. Well. I've been waiting for a longgggg time to see Hugo, having read the book (right this way!) and loving the looks of the trailer. I was so thrilled to hold the Redbox DVD in my hands as we drove home that Friday night.....
So, without any further ado, here we go.

The Bad :
Living in a railway station secretly wouldn't be easy. And as the circumstances allow, Hugo had to steal food to survive. You see the act when he sneaks a bottle of milk and a croissant (which looked tortuously good, I might add). The Station Inspector talks to another man about his (the man) wife leaving him, and such, but it went completely over my 11-year-old brother's head, so not much worry there. The Station Inspector is rough with any parent-less children he finds around. If I told you anymore, it would be pointless to watch the film, frankly.
1/5

The Good :
Hugo has an undying faith in his father, and both he and Isabelle believe that everyone and everything has a purpose; Hugo helps mend Papa Georges broken heart.
5/5

My Thoughts :
Wow. Wow. I mean, WOW! So I had pretty high expectations, being nominated 11 times, including Best Picture, so you can guess my feelings. And Asa looking so darn perfect for Hugo, not even funny.
I was not disappointed! The acting was first class, the cast consisting of : Asa Butterfield as Hugo, Chloë Grace Moretz as Isabelle, Sir Ben Kingsley as George Meliès and Sacha Cohen as Station Inspector. Now the visual effects. Stunning. Amazing. Mind blowing.
The music was beautiful, and I liked it because at scenes where it could be intense, it made it unsuspenseful.
9/10

So, get, watch, and love. It is the best kid's movie I've seen in a really long time, and I thought it was absolutely fabulous! (and if you live where there is a cheap theater, wait for it in 3D. Because that would be amazing.)
ADIEU!
