Hugo - DM Review

I was a little late to the party on this one but Cineworld were showing again. On the evening I watched this, Hugo picked up 5 Oscars all for technical achievements and I can certainly see why. Although I still dislike the current 3D technology, this was by far the best exponent of it I have seen to date. But like the automaton that is the central plot device, this film was too clockwork and mechanical. It lacked emotional bite (not even schmaltzy emotion) and had no fun. If this was intended for children, it was far too long and serious. If it was intended for adults, it was too lightweight. 

Visually impressive but failed to hit the mark.

Score: 5/10
