I liked Shutter Island as well.
I went to see Hugo in 3D to see how well the 3D poloarized projection worked and also because I was always fascinated as a kid with early movie technology. Hugo is visually quite stunning and charming in its recreation of early movie-making a la Lumiere brothers, etc. From my ideal seat in the theater, the 3D worked well, certainly enhancing the visual illusion but it doesn't do anything for the story line.
It's basically a children's movie but certainly enjoyable for any age. It seemed to move very slowly. I think its running time is a couple of hours but it felt like it was 3 hours long.
