Rated: 9/10
Plot:
This story is about an orphaned boy who has an amazing talent in clockworks. But once orphaned, his uncle took him into the train stationed and made him an apprentice. Staying in the walls of the station, he maintain the clocks there. His late father left him a broken automaton (a type of machine that does what a human can do like dance, walk, write and even draw).

| Hugo, his father, and the automaton |
The automaton was the key to a secret into a legendary movie maker's life and Hugo would be the hero of that movie maker, saving his passion for movies.
What i think:
This is a totally inspirational movie.
This is like a children's movie for adults.
A grown up fairytail ! (fail)
It just somehow feels magical, as if Hugo is a magical child.
Being so young, Hugo has taught me one very important thing.
That important thing is that the world is like a machine, and like every gear part, each person has a function.
This totally made me feel as if I have a purpose in life, just haven't found it yet. (Yes, i'm a lost child)
<3 p="p">
This movie is bloody good !
Maybe I should be a clockmaker. A badass one.
The story:
The story is not even close to predictable, something i totally admire.
It is inspirational with a tinge of mischief.
I cried like twice watching it because I actually felt the pain Hugo has to go through.
Such amazing persecution of the movie by the academy award winning director, Martin Scorsese.
But !
I do feel a little annoyance whenever the chasing scene between hugo and the inspector comes up.
Too long i feel, too long.
The props, background, and everything along with it:
The props and the background used are definitely very vintage-y like.
It is also something I totally appreciate as it fits the timeline of the movie and I'm a big fan of vintage.
The props?
I would say it's okay.
but the automaton is definitely an amazing one.
It creeped the hell out of me.

| LOOK ! How is it not creepy? D: |
The characters and actors:
The characters were well made.
Indeed, each and every character in the movie has a role to play and each has their own story and personality.
Totally different compared to action movies or modern movies nowadays.
They have characters that pop up for that one scene and disappears the next without having a true cause.
Like Rebecca Black singing Friday all over again.
But in Hugo, all is goood.
As for the actor performances,
Kudos to Asa butterfield (Hugo).
As a kid, his acting was believable and enough to make me cry.
I would say, YES ! HIGH 5 !
Overall:
I would say, it's a good movie.
And when I say it's a good movie,
I MEAN IT.
WATCH IT.
