I agree 100% with Ebert. The thing that he doesn't mention though, is that a lot of these movies employ first-person shots, purely to facilitate either the "pop of the screen" effect, or to enhance the perspective. Now, when I watch 2D versions of 3D movies, I find myself running into those shots often, and its frustrating as hell, because the shot very often could have been better from a different angle. In my mind it just amounts to poor cinematography. The 2D Avatar suffers less from this - probably because Cameron is a skilled 3D director.
On another note, Clash of the titans was already a piss poor movie, made even worse by its attempt at 3D.
