I think the main thing film makers will need to overcome if they switch to 48fps is it's easier to see the difference between on set and on location, and CGI vs real.
It is even the case when switching from SD to HD. One of my earliest HD experiences was watching Saving Private Ryan. In HD it was so obvious that things were being filmed on a film set that it actually ruined the immersion in a film that really relies on the audience being immersed in the experience the soldiers are going through. Though the visual quality was obviously superior in HD I enjoyed watching it less.
I'm now used to watching movies in HD and now movies with a strong visual component in SD look shit.
Like 3D though, I think it's possibly going to take a James Cameron movie to make 48fps the new fad. Like Avatar, such a James Cameron movie will be rubbish, but Cameron will integrate 48fps into the filming process flawlessly and truly show that it is superior in all respects to 24fps.
I don't think Jackson put all the necessary elements together to make 48fps work as well as it could. But I do think it was a good start. I hope DoS and Hobbit 3 improve on the first movie to make the 48fps an over all better experience. I hope they also put the 48fps version out in 2D because I hate 3D.
