I agree with Kermode when it comes to 3D. I can't stand it, and will go to see the 2D version of a film if possible. I really hope it proves to just be a novelty and will then disappear into the ether.

God, I hope not. I like 3D when it's done well. How To Train Your Dragon looked awesome. I'd rather people had the option of whether to see a 2D or 3D showing though - round here they do, but we're probably lucky because the cinemas have lots of screens.
