Should have been called Martin

Rating: 3/10 (25 May 2012)

This Movie is extremely well shot, has great special effects and is also a huge waste of time.
Hugo has the rare quality of being boring to both youth and adults. As an adult I really don't care too much about the robot and how it will unlock the key to a mystery of Hugo's past. Nor am i interested in the emotional struggle of the shop keeper and his financial ruin. The young people in the room were most impressed with the police man and his chase for Hugo... There should have been more of that, even though the viewer never really develops any care for the fate of Hugo...In fact has he been sent to a foster home in the first 45 min it would have been a better plot.
What you start to care about most, is when Hugo will just end. And when it does you'll wish you had not wasted all that time in the dark with anyone you care about more then Hugo..Even the fat guy next to you who could not stop talking about the genius of Martin Scorsese. If Scorsese is a genius, then Hugo is his retarded son.
