Hugo! Sweet and beautiful.

Rating: 7/10 (29 November 2012)

Finally saw this movie which I wanted to see for a long time as its directed by Martin Scorsese.
Hugo is a beautifully made movie to begin with. The cinematography of Robert Richardson is top notch. Wish had seen it in 3D. The starting train station sequence and vfx is gorgeous. The story is cute though a bit flat at times. But I did like the story coz of the character Hugo and because its a movie about the humble beginnings of 'movie making' business itself.
Asa Butterfield as young Hugo acted well as he makes you empathize for his purpose as he goes on with his adventure. The cute Chloe Grace Moretz is a surprise as I really liked her in the movie 'Kick Ass'. She complements Hugo and is delight to watch. Ben Kingsley is as good as he was in Shutter Island. Overall watch it for some sweet moments, a decent story and beautiful visuals and costumes.
