“Hugo,” directed by Martin Scorsese, has been touted as being the 3D film to bring prestige to the technology. It would seem that it’s doing just that.

The film has been given a 97% fresh rating by critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences have given the film a still successful 87%.

According to the site, the critics’ overall viewpoint is that “Hugo is an extravagant, elegant fantasy with an innocence lacking in many modern kids’ moves, and one that emanates an unabashed love for the magic of cinema.”

Individually, most of the reviewers had glowing reviews. “One of the most magical viewing experiences of the decade so far,” said Richard Roeper. “[T]his is one of those wonders of the word you need to see,” wrote David Edelstein for Vulture. “Scorsese does not mess around. This is a magnificent film,” wrote Jeanne Kaplan for Kaplan vs. Kaplan.
