HUGO is a Beautiful Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (16 March 2013)

Hugo, I can't begin to explain how much I adore this film. There are not enough words in the English dictionary to truly describe how amazing this film is, so I will do my best with the limited vocabulary I possess.
Everything in this film is excellently executed. Every shot, every camera movement, every frame is a work of art in its own right. Their is a simplistic beauty to Hugo that captures my imagination as an inspired filmmaker. The story is easy to follow, but that doesn't mean it's an overly simplistic movie. The movie takes the time to explore and thoroughly develop each major character, something you don't see in a lot of movies today.
Hugo has a charm about itself that isn't found in many movies today and that is thanks to the cast's performances which are all superb. The artistic visuals and music also compliment the movie's charm and overall enhance the movie the way visuals and music are suppose to. The movie doesn't focus on its music or visual effects, the movie focuses on character development. A visual effect without a story is a boring visual effect. There are no boring visual effects in Hugo.
Is there anything negative to say about Hugo? I honestly don't think so. This is a very well made film with a solid script, excellent acting and beautiful visuals. I encourage everyone who hasn't seen this film to find a time to watch it. It is a must.
