Good but Hugo's story is actually not that fascinating...

Rating: 6/10 (5 March 2012)

HUGO – CATCH IT ( B ) It's really hard to describe Hugo as it's not one of the CGI children movies. It's more complicated and to be honest more mature for children. The story may involve a kid living and hiding at the franc train station but it's not for kids. Hugo is directed by Martin Scorsese and has great production value. From its train station to costumes everything is simply stunning. I must say that Mr. Scorsese has worked really hard on the detailing about the era. The movie showcases the time frame and look which we don't see that often in such aesthetic way on screen. Chloe Morets and Asa Butterfield did a fantastic job as well Ben Kingsley and Emily Mortimer. For me Sasha Baron Cohan was the best as after watching him playing and living characters like Ali G, Borat, Bruno and now Dictator. It's just so good to see him acting like a normal actor. As far as the movie goes it's a good movie but as great to be remembered. The problem with the movie is that Hugo's story is actually not that fascinating enough. It's not the kind of story we like to see for two hours on cinema. If Martin Scorsese didn't direct this, it would not have been that much appreciated. Overall, it's a good movie but I would not recommend to someone at least.
