Actually the audience skewed younger and they enjoyed it thoroughly. I thought it was a universal story that appealed to many. From: David Kusumoto To: MoPo-L@LISTSERV.AMERICAN.EDU Sent: Sat, January 21, 2012 3:10:19 PM Subject: Re: [MOPO] RECOMMENDED: HUGO

I'm with you. I made the mistake of seeing HUGO with a friend with no historical interest in cinema. There are a lot of things good about it, such as the 3-D process - but if I had to boil its problems down to one thing it would be poor pacing. The picture rarely takes off and fails to play

Saw it in 3-D a few weeks ago. Brilliant. It's too bad so many people think it's a "kids movie" when it's not. I agree that a lot must be lost in viewing it in 2-D rather than 3-D... Rick In a message dated 1/21/2012
