I thought it was great, and the use of 3D was excellent. Best film I've seen since Up. Maybe the "dazzling as to be annoying" camerawork was better in 3D. I don't particularly disagree with any of your points, but thought the negatives were pretty minor, overall. The inspector's subplot was necessary to get him to come around at the end.

If I do have a structural criticism, it's similar to yours but not quite the same: Hugo started out as one movie then wound up as another. Not necessarily bad, as unexpected journeys can be good when handled by a master like Scorsese. Still, it began as Emil and the Detectives and ended as Singing In The Rain.

You've sort of convinced me that if I ever see it on DVD, I'll wait a few years for good 3D screens and the requisite release.
