Poll: Should Disney Make 'Pirates 4' in 3-D?

If it hasn't happened already, within the next year or so Disney and 3-D technology should become BF4EVAH (or Best Friends For Ever). Just today two whoppers of announcements have been made: First, that Disney will release its classic Beauty and the Beast in Disney Digital 3-D on the big screen in 2010. Joining Beast that same year in Disney Digital 3-D will be the re-release of Toy Story 2, Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, Toy Story 3, Rapunzel and Step Up 3D (from Touchstone). Wait, we're not done -- that was just the honeymoon. In 2009, we're looking at Jonas Brothers 3-D Concert Movie, Pixar's Up, G-Force, the re-release of Toy Story and Robert Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol.
Oh, and regarding that last film -- A Christmas Carol -- well, Disney also just announced a deal where Carol will kick off a five-picture arrangement with IMAX Corporation, meaning you will soon be seeing Disney on an even bigger screen in 3-D. Of course, this all leads to the biggie: Pirates of the Caribbean 4, and a continuation of their most popular live-action franchise right now. Those brilliant minds over at Variety seem to think it'd be a no-brainer for Disney to bring Pirates into 3-D territory, and when we asked Jerry Bruckheimer about going 3-D with Pirates recently while visiting the set of Prince of Persia (which we imagine will be one of those five films hitting IMAX screens), he said "Absolutely. I'd love to do it, so let's just see if we can work it through the production schedule with everything else."
But what do you fans of the franchise think? Would you want Pirates 4 to go the 3-D route, or do you feel the technology would take something away from the franchise? Sound off below ...

Personally, I don't really care. "Pirates 3" sucked so much that I won't be seeing "Pirates 4" no matter what they do with it.

I'm nowhere near convinced that there's anything wrong with 2-D movies and that 3-D movies are even necessary. It'd take a hell of a movie for me to change my mind on that point.
I'd have an easier time accepting that Pirates 4 needs to be made.

with parts 2 and 3 being vastly inferior to the first movie, i don't see why part 4 will be any different. so yeah, bring on the 3-D. i'll watch it either way.

3d was also the future about ten years after cinema itself was invented. It was the future again in the fifties. I Have yet to be convinced. Did anyone see the mess that was beowulf? Granted the film itself was pretty bad but to me 3d still feels like an expensive novelty that'll wear thin after a few years.

I agree with some of the others up here. 2-D, 3-D, it doesn't matter to me. The last two were such crap that I'm not going to see it either way.

3-D is ok on occasion but not with every single movie. Whoever the executive is at Disney that was the one responsible for making all the films 3-D should be fired because its making the company sound desperate. They should let the writers and directors form a good enough story with fun and relatable characters, not relie on a gimmick. For me, Pirates 2 was pretty good but Pirates 3 was just awful. This I attribute to the studio rushing production so a finished script wasn't ready when filming started, thus the two movies suffered. and this is with the tag team of Gore Verbinski (who directed the Ring and the first Pirates) and the writers Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio (er sorry if i got the names mixed up) who wrote the scripts for previous classics like Aladdin and the original Shrek. Thus, you have taltented people, but pressure from the studio prevented them from coming up with stronger ideas. If the writers are given a lot of time for the 4th one, it should be a great film and I;ll be all for it
