But, looking at Clash of the Titans that is coming out, they have been advertising that pretty heavily as being in 3D - but I will definitely be seeing it in 2D the first time I watch it, then I might go back later and see it in 3D if it's really good.

No no no, do NOT see Clash of the Titans in 3D. It was filmed in 2D, and 3D was only tacked on later after Avatar was released and the movie studios saw $$$ in their eyes. When movie studios do THAT, then yes it is entirely a gimmick. That's studios trying to cash in on the 3D craze ushered in by Avatar, by trying to pull a fast one on consumers.
On the other hand, How to Train Your Dragon was made specifically for 3D, and is 95% on RT with 77 reviews.

Right now I feel like the 3D affects are still mostly gimmicky, and that the 2D version is more of the "true" movie. I sort of get the same feeling I do when I see something in full screen that was shot in wide screen. Avatar did a really great job of using 3D to enhance the world rather than trying to throw things in your face. Maybe if future movies continue doing that then my mind will change.
However, that being said I'm much more excited about the new Sharp TV that adds yellow to the RGB gamut. xD

Yes, I agree. If a movie is filmed in 2D and meant for 2D, then I despise the studios that then force it into 3D for a quick buck. It's like watching some old black and white movies that were later technicolored, it just looks terrible.
And yeah I saw a commercial about that the new Sharp TV with yellow added. That sounds like a gimmick to me, I fail to see how one extra color adds all that much, when we've been creating all the colors of the rainbow and everything in between for decades with RGB. But if reviews say otherwise I will be a believer.
