Michael Bay Not a Fan of 3D Conversions
In my review of Alice in Wonderland I talk about how mediocre the 3D effects are given that it was converted after being filmed.

Alice in Wonderland Easily Wins 3rd Weekend
As expected it was another box office victory for Alice in Wonderland which cruised to $34 million to take its cumulative gross to $265 million. That is an incredible take through three weeks, and shows the strength of the 3D draw especially. Alice though will take its first hit next weekend when How to Train Your Dragon arrives, which will steal away many of its 3D theaters and family base of moviegoers. Exceeding industry expectations was Diary of a Wimpy Kid which made over $21 million. ...
