Hugo was hugely disappointing

I don’t even know where to begin with this film I have nothing positive to say about it. Nothing about it was good the acting the directing everything was piss poor. I can talk for hours about a film I love or hate but a film I just don’t give a crap about is a whole other story. That is Hugo it’s a bad film, a poorly directed poorly acted poorly cast film, no one involved cared much if they did they did not show it.

The movie begins with Martin Scorsese trying his best to dazzle us with his 3D, it fails horribly the 3D in this film is piss poor. It then cuts to Hugo played by Asa Butterfield a horrible child actor who looks constipated the whole movie. Hugo needs a mechanical mouse so he tries to steal it from Georges Méliès played by Ben Kingsley or should I say Sir Ben, either way he sucks in this movie. Georges is supposed to be a kind man who life made angry and tired but Ben comes off as Don Logan from Sexy Beast yelling at a child. It’s just weird poor Hugo fails at stealing the mouse which leads the station inspector to chase Hugo all over the train station in which he lives. The inspector is played by the horribly miscast Sacha Baron Cohen, a character with no redeeming qualities but who at the end of the film is a good guy for no reason. The film also stars Chloë Grace Moretz as Isabelle George’s god daughter, I think this film will be Chloë’s black spot.

This film has many problems most glaring is the inspector a character who is down right bad, I mean he has children arrested for looking in the garbage for food. But for some reason I am supposed to like him, why should I like? If the film makers want me to like a character they should make him somewhat likable, I was rooting for him to die. Ben Kingsley plays his part as if he read the script for the Departed and thought he was playing the Jack Nicholson role. Asa Butterfield with a name like that need I add anything more. Plus the movie is very depressing I mean an orphan who steals food and lives in a train station is that something you really want to watch on the holiday where you stuff your face silly and are purposely lazy? I didn’t think so but for some reason the studio thought this was holiday fare.

In closing Hugo is a bad movie, a really bad movie don’t see it, don’t rent it, forget about it in 5 years we can act like it never happened. The thing about movies trying to celebrate movies is they never work, mainly because the best way to celebrate movies is to make a great movie. This is not even a decent one, its barely coherent.
