Hugo Is Hugely Entertaining

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2011)

For very early cinema enthusiasts,those mesmerized by magic, fans mad for Martin Scorsese....anyone who enjoys the pure pleasure of an excellent movie, by all means, this is a film to experience. It's a splendid example of a delightful, feel good, wonderfully made movie. There is perfection everywhere, the movie fairly sparkles with it. The story line combining fact and fiction is a masterful accomplishment. The casting is a total joy... Ben Kingsley's portrayal of a young/old Georges Melies is probably my favorite among his vast list of achievements, and the young lad, Asa Butterfield who is Hugo, will win your heart and break your heart in turn. This will, without question, be nominated as a Best Movie of the Year, because I believe it is exactly that. It truly is a movie not to be missed. You will leave the theater thoroughly satisfied that this was the movie you decided to lay down your money to see. Worth every penny, too!
