No the film is a big let down
the original still stands as the better of the two - there is a small nod to the original with the mechanical owl which plays a very brief cameo. The 3D in of itself is good but the film doesn't make proper use of the technology as there is a lot of fast action sequences that just look dark and blurry in 3D and it's very hard to focus on what's going on - also because of the scale of the monsters the 3D doesn't work as it's clipped by the boundaries of the screen and the effect works much better when the 3D elements are within the boundaries thereby appearing to come out of the screen.
The movie is a 'meh!' update probably better seen in 2D
