I'll be honest with you...

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2011)

I'll be honest with you, Hugo is not a "movie". It is a piece of art that holds a meaning, and heart. It will inspire you to be the best you can be, and it will remind you that you are important, and were placed on the planet for a purpose. The cinematography is beyond brilliant, and when seen in 3D, it spirals into an awesome 4D feel. I myself couldn't help but grin when I was showered in glass, bombarded with rubble, and covered in splintered wood as the train crashed off the track and plowed through the train station.
Asa Butterfield couldn't be better as Hugo. His eyes are so expressive, and he gives a great performance that draws you into his story, and gives you sympathy for him. To me, he's like the new Harry Potter, if you know what I mean. Not just Asa, but all of the cast gives there best performance to bring this film to life.
Another thing I like about this film, is that, while it is so entertaining, it is also very informative about the history of film, giving the story a feel of purpose.
I gave it a 9 out of 10, because not every film is perfect, and doesn't offer something for EVERYONE. I would have like the movie to shed more light on Hugo's father, but over all, "HUGO" is AWESOME. Get to your nearest movie theater, and see this movie in 3D! That's right, I said 3D. You won't regret it!
