I suppose so, although I've been very lucky to see a handful of 50's 3-D movies in revival houses that were able to show them in 3-D, and I guess I sort of agree with you on the rest, if the story is compelling then it doesn't matter if the movie is 2-D or 3-D or in smell-o-rama or VistaVision.

I've heard some pretty awful things about it, too, even from those who otherwise liked the movie.
