    I watched “Hugo” because it was so critically acclaimed. It had all the awards. Critics loved it…

    Most boring, pretentious, film-school self-masturbatory slog I’ve ever watched.

    The plot was either boring or incoherent. There a boy in a train station? And now there’s a steampunk robot who… draws movies or something? And some old dude in a shitty apartment has a bunch of obscure history films? What tf are we doing? And the robot is magic now?

    The only reason it got high marks is so every critic to wax themselves about how bigbrain cultured they are. The totally got all the niche nods/ode/references and it totally justified their bullshit college degrees…

      You watched a children’s adventure comedy movie and surprised it’s a but nonsensical? Unless the critics sold it as something it’s not, I think this one is in you 😄

        I saw bits when a flatmate watched it and it was not being treated like a movie aimed at children. Looked dull as dishwater.
