My Week with Marilyn really is a powerhouse of acting, but behind the
novelty of seeing a 'true' story of scandalous Hollywood history, there
is a distinct lack of clear conflict or stakes. What we have is a
larger-than-life, enigmatic character on display and no attempt to make
sense of that enigma

This review is offensive and appalling, to say the very least.

I am utterly disappointed in your lack of an ability to enjoy movies whose plots are not so intricate and deep, whose general premises are more on the silly and fun side, and which require even an inch of a brain to adequately enjoy (and, in your case, write a decent, unbiased review on).

The expectation was set so high (as it should have been), but in the wrong direction. We know Scorcese as a guns-blazing, violent movie kind of director, and seeing him make a movie that was so appealing and flawless in all respects was a refreshing drift from his usual fields into one that I had no idea he would be so successful in making.

Hugo is an artistic masterpiece and even more of a fictional storytelling one. The experience I shared with my family when we sat down and watched it was so exceptional, and one I would never get from another film. The movie impressed me in every way possible, and the story was told breathtakingly well.

Again, it shames me that we live in a world where critics (even ones like you, who claim to have gone to film school) cannot surpass their own biases and loves in terms of the director's past and their history in film to sit down and enjoy a truly heartwarming, touching, beautifully directed, and artfully crafted film whose story (which seems to be a primary argument that those who dislike the movie use) was so interesting and engaging. It truly shames me.

So thank you for a bogus, biased, and uninteresting review. You should seriously consider throwing in the towel while you have the time, as you have little to no skill in watching and reviewing absolutely exceptional films.

In the realm of similar science fiction, I really like AVATAR, J.J. Abrams' STAR TREK and the original STAR WARS films.

The movie is rubber, your review, sir, is glue.........

A few things were lacking, evil guys and title, but all in all, the best movie I've seen in quite a while. (Psst, read the book)

Did you really even watch the same movie as everyone else?!? Glad I don't ever just read a review and talk their word got it! What a joke! You probably loved Green Lantern......just stick with reviewing boring ass Oscar style movies.

"travisty"? Ugh. It's telling that so many bad reviews of this movie contain egregious spelling errors.

LOL. Nice opening sentence Tom, LOL. Although that might be a LITTLE harsh on the story. :D

I agree though with almost everything you're saying on this one. The designs are good, but everything is given a silly name. The dialogue in particular I thought was really bad. Just brick after brick after brick of a line. And as unfair as it may be to criticize this story (the book actually predates many of the stories we've seen now that make it feel unoriginal), it does feel a bit unoriginal.

So... yeah. Nice review!

I'd been wanting to see this movie and I am currently 25 minutes from the end. I had to go online to look at reviews because I'm completely perplexed. I've been waiting for some kind of resolution and suddenly I'm watching scenes of Ben Kingsley making films. What happened to the story about Hugo and his father? I'm completely baffled! I pretty much agree with this reviewer and am surprised at all the positive reviews.

Really?, well if you had trained with the Royal Marines you would probably know that the US Army EOD teams train and are equipped with the Barrett .50 M107 as it is used as an anti-material rifle.

Thank you for this review. I agree. And as an answer to "who doesn't love teen boobs?", anyone over the age of 20 and until time of death, hopefully and respectfully.

Who ever wrote this has reviewed the film to their perception, personally as an Australian I found the film to be breathtaking in all aspects of film dynamics. If you were to add fantasy to the film it would not feel as real as it is, yes film consists of a genre of drama, and as repetitive and known it is real to those who has experienced and can relate to the nature of the film. Nevertheless does that lower the standards of a great film, I don't think so.

This film went on and on and on. I have never watched a film where the camera stayed soooo long on each actor. Yes, I get the emotion. Move on. Then the countless chases of Sacha Baron-Cohen around and around the train station. There was so much redundancy that added nothing to the film. About 45 minutes could have been cut out of the mess. My head ached when it was finally over. I'm glad I didn't pay top $ at the movies, I rented it on Netflix. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz................

Thank you for pointing out that the emperor has no clothes. This is the only accurate review of Hugo that I have read. Please don't inflict this film on children. Boring, didactic story, painfully slow. Sorry, even Ben Kingsley was boring. The clear-eyed children were boring. The old movies were ultimately boring. In the strained plot, the wonderful clockwork settings were ultimately ignored. The clocks should grind to a halt without the boy winding them. Who will wind the clocks once Hugo is saved? Why didn't the girl bring food to this starving boy? What a disappointment.

i feel sorry for any woman who ends up with a "bloke" like you roger. because its not like 90%of movies is aimed at, and made for men now is it?!

My god! You echo my thoughts almost exactly. This film was carried along by Martin Scorsese's name and the hype that got generated for it. It's like film critics and audiences have been put under some evil magic spell that makes them love this movie.
And even the fact that its about old movies doesn't redeem it. It manages to have a fractionally interesting plot for the first half, but then the second half does a u-turn and the film starts to become a lesson in film history. For a film that is advertised as fiction (automatons drawing in the early 20th century), it is extremely misleading.

Wow, forgive my attacks on your spelling and grammar, but you really need to become literate (you can google that word). I think you should "defiantly" focus on becoming a person worthy of having other human beings listen to you and/or read your words.

You are the minority on this one. Most teens includeing myself would love to throw this kind of party. The movie was basically one of my greatest fantasies coming to life! And who doesn't love teen boobs?!

I liked it. It was a fun 90 minute romp. No storyline, but it didn't need one.

A perfect tuesday night film to go to with a few friends and have a laugh. It's clearly not going to win an oscar, but amongst the slew of crappy romantic comedies aimed at women there is definitely place for an old-fashioned 'blokes' film. A straw poll of about 10 people who have seen it over the weekend suggests I'm not in the minority. Almost everyone I've spoken to has enjoyed it. That's my 2 cents.
