'Coraline' in 3-D

If the only 3-D you know is the cardboard-glasses-with-red-and-green-cellophane-lenses kind, you're in for a shock. Without 3-D technology, Coraline would be a creepy stop-motion animated film with vampire-bat Scottie dogs, malevolent gourds, and a circus of prescient kangaroo rats. But in 3-D, Coraline gains a depth and breadth like you've never seen. Other 3-D movies try to jump out of the screen and make you squeal and leap in your seat; Coraline expands to fill the theater and swallows you whole. (See Movie Times: thestranger.com/film.)

I saw it and I have to say most of it was very boring.
"Amazing" is certainly NOT what I would call it.
Got mildly interesting toward the end but Nightmare Before Christmas was far better. For some reason this one has far too little singing in it.
Not sure what all the hoopla is about. The theater I saw it in was not showing it in 3D so I am not sure if that makes a difference or not.
