'Star Wars' saga set for 3D release starting 2012

Attack of the Clones is not better than The Phantom Menace.

At least TPM has a decent narrative arc. AOTC is a hodgepodge of shitty action scenes and a puke-inducing love "story," capped by an embarrassing ninja yoda scene.

One of the biggest reasons the prequels sucked was the casting of the lead role, Anakin Skywalker, was horribly done. Sure, there still would have been awful dialogue, but a good actor could have done a better job of pulling the character off.

I did, only because my boys really wanted to see it. Typically I'm completely opposed to paying $30 for something I already own twice over, but they enjoyed it, so I guess it was worth it.

I wish 3D would would run into an aids infected needle pile then drop down an elevator shaft full of rusty aids infected needles then drown in antifreeze.

Yes, this please. I noticed over the weekend my local theatres trying to push everyone to a 3d theater instead of a 2D. (of course right?)

1 theater with only 1 showing each day of Journey 2 in 2D
At an early inconvient time.

2 theaters with 3D showings all day and all night long. Pissed me off.

I really hate them bringing back old films just to show them in 3d. Beauty and Beast? Lion King? Seriously? A cartoon in 3D.

Hollywood is so out of ideas they are just making re-treads of old movies. Then when they run out of those ideas, they crank em out in 3-D. Fuggin' joke.

Pretty much this.

Now they are rebooting Transformers 4 with Michael Bay again.

Are they truly giving the public what they want, since sequels, reboots, remakes, films based on books, comic books, etc.... tend to make more money with built in audience awareness.....or do audiences really crave originality?

Also, with the way theater chains have invested big time in the 3D projectors means 3D isnt going away anytime soon unfortunately.....

3D cartoons work much, much better for me than movies. The 3D is much more pronounced and visible.

This. Animation is greatly suited for 3D conversion, because you can exaggerate depths and make the 3D pronounced yet not distracting. And we've never seen the 3D versions. (That last sentence is hard to explain. Let me put it this way: no matter what the Hollywood real-actor film is about, we all see real life 3D every day. But we've only seen things like "Beauty and the Beast" and "Lion King" in 2D.)

It's risk/reward. You think theaters schedule films to piss you off and not make money? No. They schedule films because they go on attendance records and predictions. The only reason they have the 2D version of a 3D film in the first place is because people are drifting from 3D already; last year, a film like "Journey 2" would just come out in 3D-only. At least, now, they're providing a few 2D options.
