What I loved most: Visual effects and amazing acting
Excellent movie and definitely a must watch film. The visual effects are spectacular and it will truly transport you into the heart of Paris with its beautiful original soundtrack and 3D effects that provide a magical and almost animated like finish.

Excellent movie and definitely a must watch film. The visual effects are spectacular and it will truly transport you into the heart of Paris with its beautiful original soundtrack and 3D effects that provide a magical and almost animated like finish. Not only are the effects good, it is backed up by a solid storyline and Oscar worthy acting. Asa butterfield's acting makes his character "Hugo cabret", especially endearing and it truly struck a sympathetic cord in my heart. This should not be mistaken for a children's movie just because of the chid actors and animated feel because the storyline can be confusing for adults, much less for children. Overall an amazing movie that I would highly recommend watching in the movie theatre.

Hugo not what im expecting
The 3D graphics is good but storyline is boring and definitely not something im expecting.. The movie was predictable, and did not leave a strong impact on me at the end. Rather disappointed with the general flow of it. Overall a movie without much exciting moments or twist..

I was conned into watching this movie because it was marketed as a "family adventure" movie with 11 oscar nominations. It turned out to be an artie-fartie movie about film-making in the pre-WWI era.

I was conned into watching this movie because it was marketed as a "family adventure" movie with 11 oscar nominations. It turned out to be an artie-fartie movie about film-making in the pre-WWI era. The movie churns out characters that you neither interests you nor care about. The story can be summarized in 1 hour but is somehow dragged out into a 2 hour + movie with some really downright boring screen play. Lastly, again, it has been advertised as movie for children but I really doubt kids will know what the hell is going in the movie. ps: I caught the movie on a Thurs evening, the cinema was only 10% occupied...

Overall:
"Hugo" is a tale of an orphan named Hugo Cabret (Asa Butterfield), who lives amongst the inner workings of the hustle and bustle of a Parisian train station in the 30's, taking care of its many giant clocks while trying to collect the parts needed to fix an automaton (a robot doll) which has the ability to write. Believing that the automaton will reveal a secret message from his dead father (Jude Law), Hugo's quest to fix it then leads him to get acquainted with the station's many colourful patrons, such as the bitter toy shop owner Georges Melies (Ben Kingsley), his friendly niece, Isabelle (Chloe Grace Moretz), the scary train station authority figure, Inspector Gustave (Sacha Baron Cohen) and more.
The title lead played by 14-year-old English actor Asa Butterfield is a great marvel to watch as his striking blue eyes first noticed in the Holocaust drama "The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas", still manages to convey a sense of sympathy from the audience through his plight, as he tries to find an answer for his father's untimely death.
Apart from Butterfield, Ben Kingsley and Chloe Grace Moretz are equally impressive with their respective roles however that of Sacha Baron Cohen's deserves a worthy mention, as Cohen proves that he is capable to explore more deeper and meaningful roles by playing the strict Inspector Gustave who has a limp and harbours a secret crush for a florist, than he would let on with his Ali G, Borat, Bruno and The Dictator personalities.
Overall, after winning 5 Oscars, "Hugo" serves up to be a wonderful tale about humanity that will leave a warm feeling in one's heart, while feasting the eyes with a visual masterpiece of truly epic proportions.
"Hugo" is also offered in 2D version as well as in 3D.
