Love Scorsese, but "Hugo" leaves much to be desired

Rating: 3/10 (27 November 2011)

I was actually angry leaving the theatre after this movie. Although it is well acted and nice to look at, I was very let down by this movie. The previews make it seem like a different movie than it is. The story line is non-existent. I kept waiting for something to happen and IT NEVER DID. I thought the robot was going to come alive and that is what the movie is centered around; DOES NOT HAPPEN. The exciting parts of the movie are in the previews. Instead, you have a sleeper of a story about Kingsley. Shacha Baron Cohen's performance will be raved about by critics, when actually it's very predictable. Kids around me were talking the whole time because they did not understand the movie and it was so boring. The whole movie is not worth the money.
Overall, If you are looking for a "fantasy"/"adventure" this movie is definitely not it. -and don't bring your kids.
