The most annoying thing here is that they're generating the 3D version in post production. They then charge $5€ more to see a dim CG modified 3D version.

Are you annoyed because their converting it to 3D or their not shooting it with 3D cameras? Personally, I don't like the format but if people want to pay the extra bucks to see a movie in 3D by all means let 'em. I just hope Spider Man 2 paves the way for more films shot on celluloid.

I don't like the way that my local multiplex pushes me to the 3D versions. I can watch the 3D release at four different times in the evening or see the standard version at 4pm. There are very few films should be experienced in 3D, and I view the conversion process as a shameless cash grab.

What's interesting is that my 11-year-old has opted for the regular screening for the last two films we've seen, simply because he doesn't like the glasses.

That last Spider-Man movie had just about the most VIDEO look of any movie I've ever seen...great video...but video. I'm surprised that they would be ok with it not matching the look of the previous film.
