Trinkets are amazing

Rating: 9/10 (10 January 2012)

After hearing about Scorsese's huge flop, 100 million dollar loss, and knowing how much of a King Midas that Martin is, I decided to check it out. Undeserving of a flop is an understatement.
Every single scene is beautiful, especially the opening scene, setting the tone of the entire moving. It is set in France, early 1900s, and Hugo is an orphaned boy keeping the train station clockwork going.
Each character has a very distinct personality (pro or anti to the main character), yet still manages to become likable to the viewer without being cheesy. This is what impressed me the most about the movie, the genuine, real characters you get.
The only downside I can see about this movie, is Chloe Grace Moretz's performance seemed forgettable to me. Everyone else was great.
Overall, a must see movie for avid movie goers.
