Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

zkonedog Though not a movie I would usually be drawn too (it looked a bit unabashedly "kiddie" for my tastes), it came highly recommend from a family member obsessed with Spielberg filmmaking. I gave it a try and, while it won't top any of my "best-of" lists, it did provide a great deal of adventure, drama, action, and humor, pleasantly surprising me in the process.For a basic plot summary, "Adventures of Tintin" focuses on the young Tintin (voice of Jamie Bell), a kind of Indiana Jones-type adventurer along with trusty sidekick dog Snowy. When young Tintin buys a model ship at an auction one day, he is suddenly thrust into a race for treasure involving a drunken sea captain (voice of Andy Serkis) and his nefarious foe (voice of Daniel Craig).I would say that the long-lasting effects of this film will be two-fold:First, I would still categorize it as very much a children's movie. It could probably best be described as "Indiana Jones for the elementary set" in terms of its combination of all genre elements. Had I first viewed this film as a child, I know that I would have watched it again and again! For adults, of course, it also functions as escapism.Also, the somewhat controversial animation (is this middle ground needed between reality and Pixar-like animation?) is truly a sight to behold. I honestly am not any sort of expert on the subject and thus have no predictions for the future of the format, but the visuals are as top- notch as anything you'll see anywhere else. It is just...different.Overall, "Adventures of Tintin" just seems like Spielberg's childhood epic. Perhaps the film can be appreciated even more if one has read the comic novel stories it is based on (I didn't even know about this until after the viewing!). On the whole, though, a very entertaining flick that makes for great family viewing.

Fella_shibby As an avid reader n collector of the Tintin comic books and a fan of the television show, i thoroughly njoyd this awesome flick. Fans of the original comic books will be happy to see a faithful adaptation of the books, and fans of Spielberg's Indiana Jones' series will be more than impressed with the action sequences. The animation is simply breath-taking and astonishingly lifelike for the most part. Once again i wanna state that the animation is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. It's not right to call it a CGI film as the motion of the characters are much smoother than that of CGI films. All of the animation is simply breathtaking and the best I've ever seen. The action and especially the chase sequence was awesome. The film is gorgeous, and probably the best motion-capture rendering to date. The colors pop, the 3D is adequate, and the characters and settings are so lifelike they sometimes looked real. Simply put: a visual feast. Me n my kids had a good time in the theatre.

Filipe Neto This digital animated film recreates one of the most famous stories of the comic Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson, with soundtrack of John Williams and a script by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish, the film features the voices of Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, and other voice actors.I was never an avid reader of Tintin, but the comic strip was, for me, a good company during childhood and adolescence (still is, sometimes). But I never had a good impression of films based on comic-strips, as always end too stylized or unrealistic. In this case, keeping the film as an animation, I was waiting for something like the comic, and many similarities with the magazine. But my expectations were far from being met by this film, which does not seem able to capture the essence of Tintin. The script, despite being good and consistent to the cinema, don't link to the comic where it was based. On the contrary, it almost rejects it by mixing elements of another magazine and invent many other things that don't fit in the Tintin image, issued by magazines. Therefore, characters seem rather forced, and their reactions don't seem true to what might be expected in the magazines.The dubbing work looks very good, I didn't notice delays or errors. Most of voice actors used here are seasoned actors, with an excellent voice modulation capability, knowing well how to put voice to achieve the desired effect. The work of animation and visual effects are excellent, very colorful and striking. Its the wonder of digital animation. The soundtrack is very good but I expected something more intense.Overall, the film is quite interesting and entertaining but becomes boring at certain times and almost can't create a real sense of mystery, suspense and adventure.

Riddler2 Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a wonderful entry in the Indiana Jones franchise and was wrongfully hated on by fans of the series, with the Adventures of Tintin there was a much stronger fan base that were anticipating great things from the Master of Film and so was I despite the fact I have never read the comics they have been quickly glanced at by me but nothing more than that anyway the trailers griped me and I got really excited having know that the Master of Film was back directing again after another 3 year absence which is common for him at the moment, anyway did the film meet my expectations or did they sink down faster than Haddock's ship?, well I was wonderfully entertained thrilled jaw dropped and just wonderfully relieved although I was not worried about the film at all I knew it would be wonderfully entertaining I was relieved that Steven Spielberg's directing abilities had not declined or slowed down they were the same as always this film has a wonderfully fast pace to the outstanding action sequences and the breathtaking fluidity of the movement of the camera as we're flying around with Tintin and Haddock as the camera literally is flying around the screen like a balletic movement or performance is simply outstanding film making of the highest standard and Steven Spielberg must be commended for that. Martin Scorsese does not make movies like Steven Spielberg! Martin Scorsese makes the same type of movies over and over again with no versatility or change of style it's boring the only film of his I will ever watch again anyway is Hugo that's an outstanding movie really wonderfully cinematic and a stunning tribute to the old days of cinema just an amazing technical achievement and a great example of how films should be made but aren't anymore which is a deep shame, anyway I bring Hugo up in this Tintin review because Tintin shows us the future of motion picture film making with motion capture technology and Hugo takes us to the old fashioned days of motion picture making with images sound and color, Tintin has an outstanding visual language what I am referring to is how the shots look clearer and the characters feel different and look different because of this motion capture technology which enhances humans's emotions and textures, the technology was perfected in the Lord of the Rings film series over a decade ago to great critical acclaim and admiration by the film industry, anyway why do I love Tintin so much apart from the outstanding motion capture technology and the stunning flying balletic movement of the camera? it's because of the story the characters the locations the performances by Andy Serkis who played Gollum in the Lord of the Rings films and Jamie Bell who I loved in Billy Eliot which I watched recently and adored I love his charming performance in that film really lovely film that one! anyway Snowy's my favourite character in the film he's so lovingly recreated from the drawings I quickly glanced at in the comics an outstanding achievement from WETA Digital the same team who perfected Gollum in the Lord of The Rings and Snowy's emotions are so perfectly recaptured in the film to comic interpretation or at least as I see it!, The Score By John Williams is another masterstroke of film score genius his new themes are perfectly interwoven into the body of the film, it has always interested me that Tintin's theme is not given a full concert arrangement you hear the first few bars of it but that's it it never develops or changes other than the few notes you hear they are always the same notes that you hear every time Tintin is referred too you always hear the same tiny hints of Tintin's theme it's very quick and very sudden like 5 second variants of the same melody or theme there's one melody for Tintin a very quick theme which has always interested me why the main character does not have a fully developed theme in the film and the supporting characters in the film all have fully developed musical identifications Snowy the pirates the villains all have themes outstanding themes all the same which all have concert arrangements I really love Snowy's theme it's really fast like he's running along a garden path or a road that might be one of my favourite themes composed by John Williams it's so perfectly integrated into the character I can't not imagine seeing that character now without hearing his theme that's the outstanding gift of John Williams's music he composes music for the character and so the character becomes ingrained into the musical identity for the film so when we see him on the screen you hear or hum it straight away that's John's gift his skill he is the master of film music and an incredible asset to film scoring! I really love this film because it gives me a wonderful feeling inside of the fact that this is a wonderful family film and an underrated one at that the film was hated and dumped on by the hardcore fans of the comics because they just thought it was another Indiana Jones Film Don't listen to those stupid people they are wrong and stupid and quite pathetic to even suggest that this is just another Indiana Jones film it's not please give this a chance it deserves a chance to be loved and appreciated don't let it go down the same route as Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull did when it was forgotten about it does not deserve it, it should not receive such harsh negativity by anybody!
