It's Like Nothing You've Ever Seen

Rating: 9/10 (10 December 2011)

Just got home after watching HUGO, and boy, What a film! I don't think there are many films that have all the qualities of a masterpiece and yet you can enjoy it with the whole family and Hugo stands on top of any movie which may be (if ever possible) comparable. In my eyes, Hugo is Scorsese himself who is paying tribute to someone who has inspired many visionary filmmakers even after his life. This is a film that you remain in your seat and witness a mystery being unfold in the most artistic way where art, visual effects, music and 3D technology are serving the film, unlike most of the never ending so called 3D flicks which are made just to be high-tech and suffer lack of story and good directing. The acting is pretty good, Chloe Grace Mortez is as adorable as ever and Sacha Baron Cohen can always make you laugh no matter how serious he tries to look. Scorsese himself pops up in a short scene for a second just to remind us who actually stands behind the camera. I'm not a great fan of him, though loved Shutter Island and the Departed, but this one is just so different. I totally recommend it to anyone with any taste in movies.
