Hugo Movie

Rating: 9/10 (16 January 2012)

Thank you - Thank you - Mr Martin Scorsese
Despite positive reviews I was not looking forward to seeing this movie. Believing that it would be just another predictable, mediocre movie aimed at kids for a quick profit.
I was wrong !!
The art of true cinema has been captured beautifully with your careful attention to detail. The subtle music score with it's french undertones blended well with the meticulous camera work. I was pleasantly surprised to not only be presented with exceptional acting by the adult cast members but outstanding characterizations by your younger actors, Hugo et Isabelle.
The storytelling was captivating, humorous and sensitive with many genres harmoniously intertwined.
Personal reflections - some scenes were a little long and could have been edited. This movie may not appeal to very young children & may be a little long.
A great movie for sensitive adults and older children. I will be buying the DVD.
Future generations may not be afforded the platform to create in this cohesively programmed world.
I hope your movie will challenge others to dream away.
