Hugo

Rating: 9/10 (15 October 2014)

This film was beautifully executed. While the film was semi-realistic, it also had a magic vibe to it which made it much more intriguing. While watching you will never feel bored, it keeps you engaged with its amazing CGI and heartwarming story. The casting was also brilliantly done. Another aspect I particularly liked was how they gave the train station employees and regulars a personality and there own story that Hugo eventually participates in. They act as the comic relief and make the plot feel brighter. The only criticism I would give this is it seem to be lacking character development with the father. Its didn't really give us enough about him and his relationship with Hugo to care about him and since that was the whole reason driving Hugo to fix the robot I feel they could've incorporated more.
