Peter Jackson thinks that because something looks more real, then it must be better. 24fps film has a quality that makes things look better than real life, and it's mostly about the grain, frame rate and softness of the image. Ever watch a great movie, then look at some of the DVD extras? When you see on set video footage of some scene you thought was great when you watched the movie, doesn't it always look like shit on video?
I like the HFR just as a novelty, but I agree it's not just not right for cinema overall. Filmmakers should focus on making better movies and not on gimmicks to get people into the theater.
