I think Marvel's smart to stay away from 3D. I've yet to be thoroughly convinced that 3D should be mandatory for action movies. Avatar is like taking a fun ride in 3D, but it also illustrates the downfall of the technology. 3D is cumbersome for the viewer for extended stretches of time. It's a nifty idea and fun to experience, but do we really want to live there? I'm not saying 3D completely sucks, it has it's place. CG toons can be fun, but they're often just as effective in 2D. My sole hold-out on 3D technology, the one I'm looking forward to seeing in 3D is 'Tron: Legacy'. But I think it's a mistake to determine an action movies fate based upon its inclusion of a technology that does little to enhance its quality, and can actually be detrimental to the overall enjoyment of the story. But then I'm tired and kinda jabbering out my arse. ;-) What were we talking about again? Oh, Iron Man 2. I'm gonna see it opening day and expect box office numbers will help insure we get our Avengers movie in two years. I hope 'Thor' and 'Capt. America' retain the level of quality that Marvel has been able to attain so far. (With the exception of the second 'Hulk' movie, which I found to be mediocre.) 3D this, 3D that.
