Today's 3D is the epitome of 'cheap gimmick'. Especially the films you names. Thor, Captain America, and Green Lantern were not shot in real 3D. They were post converted to 'fake' 3D.
3D will soon be as standard as Talkies and Color.
The 3D fad is starting to die out. This past year, audiences rejected the 3D versions of films when offered the choice. The 2D versions of Cap, Thor, Green Lantern, Cars 2, Harry Potter, etc outgrossed their 3D counterparts.
3D sucks. In fact, movies that play up the 'gimmicky-ness' of the format are really the only ones that do the format justice. Take 'Piranha 3D', for example. That was a fun movie because it knew it was shlock and embraced it and had fun with it.
This 3D fad is starting to die out. I just wish it would die out faster. Trying to find a 2D screening of 'Hugo' was a pain in the ass, and I flat out will NOT pay for 3D.

They still improved the experience.
Only because 2D is still so much cheaper.

Nothing is going to improve Episode I short of a brand new script and reshooting it.
But I have to admit, as bad as that movie was, Jake Lloyd was a nice guy when we interviewed him back in June.

I love the film as is, way better then overrated Episode IV.
I don't see a difference between people who bash Episode I and the losers who bash Kingdom of The Crystal Skull, their based it on the same basic emotion.
With all the mess of Dracula films there are, none of done justice to the Novel yet, but I don't particularly care since that Novel is overrated to begin with. What I really want is a finally well done Carmilla film.
