The only 3D movies I've seen have been shot in 3D (Avatar) or have been animated (Toy Story 3, Up, How to Train your Dragon, Beowulf) and have been a pretty good experience. But I'm kind of over the 3D thing already. I'll see an Avatar type movie but the type of 3D employed in Toy Story 3 means I'll rather watch it in 2D and save some money.

I haven't seen any of the post-converted 3D movies not because I'm a 3D snob but because the movies looked garbage (Clash of the Titans, The Last Airbender) but from all the reports and reviews I've read the post conversion looks like crap even for the movies that it wasn't a rush job cash grab like the aforementioned titles.

So I don't see how any good can come from Star Wars in (post converted) 3D other than making Lucasfilm 6 more large piles of cash. And even then I don't think the first three will make as much they hope. Who will go see them other than die hards? The general public is definitely burnt out on the prequels. So maybe the final three won't even get released. 

At the end of last year when a lot of movie nerds were bemoaning 3D cinema I was in favour of the wait and see approach but now I just wish it would go away. Sure Scorsese is making a 3D film movie and other big name director will experiment with it soon enough (Fincher, Scott) I highly doubt that my enjoyment of films like Black Swan, The Social Network and True Grit will be lessened by the fact that they are only in 2D.

Though I'll see Scorsese's Hugo Cabret because he shot it that way.

Oh wait I'll probably see Jackass 3D because... why not?
