The most boring, lame, slow and predictable movie ever made

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 2012)

I had great expectations of Hugo, especially in 3D. The critics were very positive, particularly about the 3D effects. Yes, the opening scene when the camera flies over Paris and through the train station is great. But there the greatness of the film ends. Why was this movie made in 3D? It doesn't add anything to it, there is hardly any difference would you see it in normal 2D, but above all: the movie is made for kids between 6 and 10 years old! For adults it is a torturing 2 hour sit, with absolutely no interesting twists to the story. It is so incredibly predictable, of the kind that is only seen in small children's movies. On top of that, it is painfully slow and boring. Also, the acting in general isn't bad, but the girl (Isabelle) is just terrible. Not believable at all, and over-dramatizing everything. Furthermore, I cannot stand the fact that in Paris everybody speaks traditions UK English... and the train hall inspector is a typical English character, again, in Paris??! All in all it was the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater. I have seen more slow and boring movies of course, but this one topped them all because 1) the great critics it got and 2) it was so annoying that you could see exactly how this movie would roll out from minute 1 to last. 1 out of 10 stars, and only because I cannot give it zero stars.
