very good

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2014)

Having no knowledge of George Melies' films before watching Hugo, I was quickly hooked into the fictitious mystery of Hugo's automaton. In the outcome, I actually learned a lot from the film. I appreciated how they didn't just turn the fairytale adventure into a life lesson, but they added historical fact to it. Doing this in movies can spark kids interest in various subjects such as film. It's one of those movies where everyone in the family can enjoy it in their own way. The setting that portrays old France although unrealistic, makes the film more fun and interesting to watch than if it had been set in present time. I thought the acting was really fun to watch as well because everybody had such a unique character. Overall I really enjoyed the film.
