Hugo is a great looking 3D movie about an orphan boy, (why isn't his name Olivier?), living in a Parisian train station with a mysterious broken down clockwork man. He's aided in his quest to solve the mystery of the tin man by his side-Kick-Ass counterpart, Chloe Moretz , all while being hunted by Sascha Baron Cohen as a buffoonish stationmaster. Cohen provides about the only levity in a rather inert story, because, hohum, the mystery is not very gripping. The reveal appeal is more for film history nerds than anyone else, because most kids will be bored by the story not far into the start of this over long flick.
The 3D is incredible. Best ever! Will see a 2nd. time.
Surprisingly good!

Hugo is a wondrous tale anout an orphan whose quest for a new connection to his late father leads him to friendship, and a new family. Everything about Hugo is a delight - from Scorsese's amazing use of 3D as an integral part of the storytelling process to the performances of Asa Bautterfield [as Hugo] and Chloe Grace Moretz [as Isabelle] to the way he integrates a bit of film history painlessly into the proceedings. Huog is one of the best films of the year.
For fans of Scorsese films--don't miss this one with a special story that will keep you entertained for the 2 hours plus film plus great special effects in 3D--the youngsters in the film steal every scene they are in--great family fun--!
Outstanding movie!! The 3Dis so awesome and it was a really visual treat to watch@@
I was a "good" movie, no better. I think this movie was too character driven for children. Too mature for children, too young for adults. Although I could appreciate the storyline and "old" movie making and footage, I doubt many other movie goers, especially children (which I think it is geared to) will care about.
