Some of the touches were wonderful. The intro to the Paris rail station was great, as was the "trampling" scene experienced by the girl, and the friggin' particulates in the air were in 3D.
Like I mentioned, 3D is mostly a gimmick. Not seeing Hugo in 3D does not make it a bad film. On the other hand, it's even prettier in 3D than it would be in 2D. There are a dozen short backdrop scenes of Paris in 3D that make the experience worth the extra $4 by themselves, not to mention entire scenes such as the one where Melies is shooting his films in the greenhouse-esque building.
