the movie was a let-down for me. 3/5. I expected more but the dreary atmosphere and useless characters like Christopher Lee just bogged down the horrid pacing. Kingsley was amazing and Cohen was intriguing, but there just wasn't enough here for me.

Average at best IMO

One can really tell that this was a work of love from Scorsese. Everything from the colors to depth of field looks as if were painstakingly realized (even though I saw it in 2D). Asa Butterfield, Chloe Moretz, and all of the other actors pull off great performances, but it was Sir Ben Kingsley's subtle and endearing portrayal of a film legend fallen from grace that steals the show.

Director Martin Scorsese has perfectly blended a story of imagination and cinematic nostalgia. Crafted with eloquence and heart from beginning to end, Hugo proves that a film based on a children's book can bring to life the whimsical dreams of an adult audience.
