2. Summary

   Perfect 5.0

   This is, with no doubt, a true masterpiece. This has to be the most complex and interesting children’s movie I’ve ever seen. I don’t even know if I can call it a kid’s movie at all. There are aspects to this movie that are so genius and so creative that I was glued to the screen. Going into the movie, I thought it would either be a cheesy fantasy movie or some dumb adventure movie, but I was shocked to see how good it really was. Martin Scorsese creates such a wonderful atmosphere in 1930’s Paris, and really dazzles the audience with compelling story. I don’t want to delve into what happes that is so amazing, because the surprise is so wonderful (for true film fans especially). All I’ll say is it turns into one of the most intriguing history lessons ever. Also, the use of 3D was shockingly amazing. I saw it twice in 3D, and both times I really felt sucked into the beautiful scenery, and sometimes I forgot I was watching a movie. This is not a movie to miss. Don’t doubt the power of Scorsese!!!!!!!

4. Acting

   Perfect 5.0

   EVERYONE gives PHENOMENAL performances. This is the best performance by a child actor since the girl Pan’s Labyrinth. Ben Kingsley is amazing at playing the old retired father figure. Sacha Baron Cohen plays a brilliant villain (who has some hilarious moments). Chloe Moretz plays the perfect adventurous girl. And finally, Asa Butterfield plays a believable orphaned boy in Paris. Truly fantastic work.
