Hugo is a wonderful, beautiful and enchanting adventure

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2011)

Hugo is wonderful and beautiful, filled with drama, fantasy, adventure, passion, excitement and mystery. This film is an enchanting grown-up movie that I loved - and my 7-year old enjoyed throughout. (There is nothing objectionable for kids, but some younger children might get bored during certain parts). Neither my young son nor I is a fan of 3D, but Hugo used 3D technology beautifully and subtly. It complemented the film perfectly. The characters in Hugo are well-developed and complex. The acting was universally excellent. The movie is gorgeously filmed - fitting in a movie that, among other things, is also about an extraordinary love and celebration of film-making. Martin Scorsese has made a tour de force with this film.
