Hugo (2D version)

Initially I was a bit apprehensive about this one. I didn't realise it was a 'U' certificate until I'd bought the ticket and I thought the screening's going to be full of kids... Turns out it wasn't, thankfully! Also the film didn't turn out too bad either..
I'd heard good things about this film but had no idea what it was actually about... Which wasn't a bad thing. After the spectacle of 'Sherlock Holmes' this was a more somber affair. Ben Kingsley put in another good performance and it was nice to see Chloe Morentz in a role that didn't involve bad language or sucking blood. I'm embarrassed to admit that I'm not too familiar with Martin Scorsese's work, having only seen a couple of his films (and they weren't his best either)
Overall I enjoyed this film. A typical Saturday afternoon viewing. ***
