Who's Tintin by the way?
Rod - wrote on 10/04/2012
Tintin finds a clue leading him to a great adventure of solving hundred years-old mystery.
***
The strength of this film, as we would all agree, were the direction and voice talents of the films, giving credits to the director Steven Spielberg and his voice actors Daniel Craig, Jamie Bell and Andy Serkins. The film was able to actually pt you in an adventure with great transitions and brilliant visualizations of every frame of every scenes. However, I think everyone would agree too that it lacks matter story wise, that it did not bring us new idea, having such kind of a common and usual adventure story with pirates, treasures, traveling through seas and desserts. Plus, even the characters failed to mark their identity.
This could have been a remarkable team up of Spielberg and …

The Best Animated Film of 2011
JLFM - wrote on 04/12/2012
You should know that there is expected to be two more Tintin films, and that is a good thing.
I had the pleasure of reading the many Tintin comic books when I was younger, something that I recommend doing before you see this film. After hearing there was a movie planned, I was thrilled, to say the least. Like a geek, I researched everything and anything that had to do with the film, becoming more excited with every new discovery.
Then, I finally got to see the film. Was the film going to be awful? Amazing? Mediocre? I'll put it simply: I loved it.
But to say I loved this film, is not enough. I simply must gush on about this film, that was everything I could have wanted it to be, with few complaints.
You might know that this film is based off of the following three Tintin …

jolly visual ride that loses its way

Tintin is a good jolly visual ride that slowly sinks below the sea level.
The Adventures of Tintin is an American 3D animation film that reprises the great detective character tintin. The secret of unicorn which is been called outside north America is directed by ace person Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson. Spielberg for a while after making treasure movie Indiana Jones in 2007 is now back with another adventure motion capture film that follows the same pattern. This is very difficult to say a cent percent animation feature and neither easy to say a true motion capture film. The characters in the film are all looking partly generated and partly human. Plot takes its basics from the novel of the same title, whereas the action setups and some parts of narrative are made on …

"Billions of blue blistering barnacles!"

Being an avid TinTin fan I was quite looking forward to this movie. I'm happy to say that Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson did a marvelous job. They took the effort to know Tintin, the legendary detective and journalist boy character by Belgian artist Hergé and do him honor.
Tintin (voiced by Jamie Bell) becomes caught up in a centuries-old treasure hunt when he unwittingly buys a model ship containing a clue to the location of sunken gold in an outdoor market. He's pursued by agents of the sinister Ivanovitch Sakharine (Daniel Craig sinks his teeth into the role of the antagonist. Playing against type has never been so much fun!), who has a model ship identical to Tintin's and is passionately in search of a third. The models themselves don't matter. What does matter is that vital …

Surprisingly good.

I was positively surprised about Tintin. It works well in 3D, which seems to work best in movies like this and for example Avatar where a lot of CGI is used. The CGI also made it possible to have the characters and surroundings look like they do in the original comic books while still watching a performance by real actors. I found it worked really well, it allowed me to see the characters in a similar way as how I imagined them to be when I read the comic books years ago, the overall atmosphere has a real "comic book" feel about it which of course suits the movie well. The thing that I found a little disappointing though was that the first scene of the movie, after the fantastic title sequence, seems to be set in England, hearing the accents of the characters and the use of Pounds as …
