Interesting.
You're right Avengers in 3D was awful. But that's the only time I've ever really felt ripped off by 3D.
I think it's true what Happy Toast is saying, it's better suited for the big roller coaster movies, sure but I think there is a place for it if it's done well. I mean, in the case of Avatar, it probably made it better because you go 'fuck I'm bored, but ooh isn't it pretty'
And Pixar use it pretty well. Up and Toy Story 3 seemed more subtle, like the 3D was more inward, like a depth of field thing as opposed to stuff leaping out at you. But then by the end you didn't notice it any more so what's the point? Hmm...it's tricky init.

I found the the addition of a sense of distance across the rainforest
and one propeller flying toward you in Up was not worth the loss of visual fidelity
it was a muddying distraction in Up which was the last thing I wanted during that film

Well, I didn't think it was that bad.
But then I am blind in one eye so I'm just imagining the 3D usually.
