The humour is juvenile, the plot and characters simplistic in the extreme, and the acting is so mannered and manufactured that no adult would take it seriously. Spielberg has made a film for kids and kids alone. The only mo-cap film I didn't mind too much was BEOWULF, but that was more for the story than the execution unfortunately, THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN takes everything a step backwards.
This is a horrible film, but then I knew I'd hate it outright as I'm somebody who actively hates motion capture and who believes that CGI is the worst thing to happen to cinema. Reviewed by Leofwine_draca 2 / 10 A mo-cap mess Not only is he a lot of fun to watch and hear, but for my money Captain Haddock and Snowy were the two most engaging characters.Īll in all, a good film with several strong things, but I wasn't entirely blown away by it. Bell is brilliant, Pegg and Frost are good as are Daniel Craig and Toby Jones but I thought the standout was Andy Serkis. This has nothing to knock Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, their delivery is as enthusiastic and as witty as it ever could be, but sometimes the presence of Thomson and Thompson jars with the overall tone of the film. The script is mostly good, but the comedy could've been timed a little better. For me, despite the brilliant voice over from Jamie Bell, not much is done to make Tintin particularly compelling. There are also some masterly touches to Spielberg's direction, particularly the back of a hand morphing into desert dunes, the galleons on the ocean enacting a sea battle and a motorcycle chase taken on one shot.Īgainst all this, part of me felt it could've been more. The story is a great idea and while there are some slow spots it is thrillingly told.
John Williams' score is not among his very best, but it is strong and memorable with some of Williams' distinctive style. When I finally saw the film, I admit I was slightly disappointed but actually while there was room for improvement I thought it was good.įirst of all, the visuals are truly dazzling, so much colour and you can tell in both the settings, character designs and cinematography that a lot of effort had gone into it technically.
The adventures of tintin 2011 cast series#
I am also a fan of the comics and the animated series which I saw over and over in English and French. It looked interesting, the cast on paper are great and I am fond of both John Williams and Steven Spielberg. I was much anticipating The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn.
Reviewed by TheLittleSongbird 7 / 10 Dazzling visuals, strong score and great cast, could've been even better With aid from bumbling Interpol agents the Thompson Twins our boy hero, his dog and the captain must prevent Sakharine from obtaining all three scrolls to fulfil the prophesy that only the last of the Haddocks can discover the treasure's whereabouts. Tintin and Sakharine have one each and the villain intends to use the glass-shattering top Cs of operatic soprano the Milanese Nightingale to secure the third. Haddock tells Tintin that over three hundred years earlier his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock was forced to scuttle the original Unicorn when attacked by a piratical forebear of Sakharine but he managed to save his treasure and provide clues to its location in three separate scrolls, all of which were secreted in models of the Unicorn. Sakharine has bribed the crew to revolt against the ship's master, drunken Captain Haddock, but Tintin, Snowy and Haddock escape, arriving in Morocco at the court of a sheikh, who also has a model of the Unicorn. Sakharine should be so eager to buy it from him, resorting to murder and kidnapping Tintin - accompanied by his marvellous dog Snowy - to join him and his gang as they sail to Morocco on an old cargo ship. Having bought a model ship, the Unicorn, for a pound off a market stall Tintin is initially puzzled that the sinister Mr.
