Movies

Somany great things have been written down for this Movie, that are only few left for me. It is adventures, it is funny and a great journey with Tin Tin and his clever dog Struppi! ....and the captain with his rum. It was just somuch FUN to watch this Movie.

I knew Tintin from childhood cartoons so I was excited to see the movie version. I was sadly disappointed with this film and I hope Spielberg won't make another. The only reason I gave this film a 4/10 was for the animation. That being said, the computer generated characters were probably great to some but to me they seemed creepy. I story was corny and telegraphed itself to all but the feeble of mind. I wish they had updated the story a little. I also forgot how annoying the two comic relief characters could be. This movie's story was so bad that any small child would be bored to death. Too bad, Tintin had potential but I hope this is the end.

I have been a fan of the Tintin books since the age of seven, and so I definitely had to see Steven Spielberg's performance capture adaptation. And I must say, I am impressed. I will say that some scenes went a little overboard with the action, but otherwise "The Adventures of Tintin" is a very fun movie. It is of course a combination of "The Crab with Golden Claws" and "The Secret of the Unicorn". I could tell what they dropped and added, and which character's roles they expanded. Overall, I am very pleased with this adaptation. Jamie Bell plays the titular young journalist/detective, although Andy Serkis is particularly neat as Capt. Haddock.All in all, Hergé would be proud of this movie. I also hope that "Hergé's Adventures of Tintin" (the cartoon series that ran from 1959-1962) comes to DVD eventually.Also starring Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
