Apparently you haven't seen Dial M for Murder, one of Hitchcock's best films. It stars the lovely Grace Kelly and is availble now from Warner Home Video. I suggest you check it out before you go around saying things like that.
I really don't see what the complaints are. 3D can not be viewed on DVD (pretty much) to date. That means you won't be seeing this release to home theater and you would have to drive to a digital 3D location to watch it.
I think it's just good ole fashion movie going fun, the way Lucas intended for his films to be. He's combining some of the great things of early cinema: 3D and serials.
