I know we all just got finished bashing Andrew Stanton's decision to shorten John Carter of Mars to simply John Carter, but I think that the shortening of Martin Scorcese's The Invention of Hugo CabretHugo to actually works. Yes, it is less elaborate, but I feel it's more appropriate. It's about Hugo, and less the invention. This being Martin Scorcese's first 3D film, it's bound to be high on stylistic bursts. People are lashing out at it for being mere kiddie fare, but ignoring the "30 Seconds to Mars" song, it is actually something of a tribute to the earliest style of filmmaking, such as in A Trip to the Moon. Scorcese is going all out with this, and it's bound to snag some craft nods.
