diasppointing after reading the book

Rating: 6/10 (9 March 2012)

The books is a kids book so I tough the movie would be so much better, but then they took of some key plot elements for absolute nothing. For once, the conflict between Hugo and the girl in the movie is just boring! on the book hugo keeps his story a secret as long as he can, he steals the key from the girl! When the automata draws the picture, they fight and torn the paper in two. Later he discovers that the girl stoled the key herself from her godmother and its accused of being a thief not better than hugo; that was pretty effective on the book, and its just gone! But the book has some problems too, the reason why Meliés quit making movies and buried his pas is unsatisfying to say the least. The movie could improve that, but... the only thing right it made was the station inspector that added fun moments while being really fearful to hugo I also did'nt like the acting (Kingsley was good, of course), the editing and the special effects. A big letdown overall. I did watch this movie on 3D so there's no comment on this, and I really don't care about 3D
