Very clever promoting

Rating: 1/10 (3 December 2011)

Film should have been called Georges Méliès not Hugo
Well where shall I start. I took the family to see this and we were led to believe this was a fantastic fantasy adventure ( according to the previews ) It started slow, crawled along and fizzled at the end. Although it looked fantastic, with great acting, the story was weak an none existent. My 12 year old son fell asleep and my 7 year old daughter drifted in an out of concentration.
Very frustrated. The only person who gave anything to this film was Mr Baron Cohen, truly a talented actor. We always make a big thing out of a trip to the cinema to see a film in the festive period. Apart from a bit of snow there was nothing festive about this film. I am truly amazed at the promotion of this film not since the blair witch have i been duped so much, i left the theatre feeling cheated and very annoyed, with two children that were less than impressed as well
Story oh my god what story !!!!! Felt more like an ITV easter special
