Fair balls to them for taking the high road.

Not really.  It's not like they planned to skip 3D entirely, they just couldn't get it done in time.
 
I applaud this decision, though I suspect they're just spinning the situation to look more fan friendly.  No skin off their ass; Warner Brothers knows that they're still going to make upwards of $800 million, if not closer to $1 billion, on this movie.

Ouch, that's going to hurt the 3D industry (and fad).  
 
Couldn't care less about it being in 3D to be honest so bravo WB.

For those of you who don't want to see it in 3D, guess what?  YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE IT IN 3D!  There are far more 2D options for movies than you accidentally stumbling into the 3D theater.

So they'll release the 3D version shortly before part 2? Sounds about right.
 
I still find these films pretty boring. I fell asleep in The order of the phoenix or whatever; And I was in that one!

" You know what I don't get about all this is why they did not shoot this in 3D in the first place. I mean they started shooting after Avatar was released so they don't really have a good excuse. If your going to do 3D you do it right. Is the 3D conversion process so much cheaper that even the highest budgeted films pass on the real thing? "

I know right.

People like to bitch about it anyway. Rational thinking not required.

I think they will still convert part one and release it in theaters together with or just before Part II.

Yeah, I am pretty happy that they decided to go ahead and cancel this.  I have hated this 3D movie crud from the start.  There is nothing that I really have gotten out of 3D.  Actually, to this day, I have not gone into a movie theatre and paid more just to see a movie in 3D compared to the 2D version in the other theatre.  When I went to go see Toy Story 3, I saw that in 3D only because I was getting in for free.

YES. Anything but full filmed 3D just looks stupid. I spend extra on Airbender just to see 3D subtitles...  
 
Plus they should always release 2D versions for people who can't watch 3D movies because of medical reasons.
