Because like many, many people, I cannot watch a 3-D film. The effect not only doesn't work on my eyes, it gives me a pounding headache. So no 3-D Hobbit for me.
Also, it's a damn stupid idea to make the thing in 3-D because they are going to lose a lot of money. The numbers over the last year show that attendance at these things is going steadily downward, regardless of whether the quality is improving. Audiences simply don't have the bucks to plunk down on it, and they're realizing that in droves. To bet on this fad lasting another two years...not wise.
P.S. I personally don't think that CGI is improving all that much. The most convincing CGI effects I've ever seen are still the ones in Jurassic Park, a movie that came out 17 years ago. Nothing has topped those dinosaurs for me.

And if it's Jackson's direction, won't you even see it once, to give it a fair shot?
