The Adventures of Tintin

One of the best animated movies I've seen. The animation is really good, and the story is action-packed. One of the action sequences, where they are riding through a small town on motorcycles, reminded me of an Indiana Jones or Jason Bourne film. And don't even get me started on the amazing main villain. The ancestry of Haddick and the main villain, and how they're connected, was handled greatly without being heavy-handed. A great movie to see as a family and enjoy with popcorn.

Realllly wanted it to be great, but it wasn't. In elementary school I ran to these tintin comics in the lil library for a lovely escape from all the real studies. So was looking forward to the movie big time. Watched it in theaters at 23yold and found myself a bit bored, though delighted by the art and nostalgia. That was years ago, but I still remember being both pleased and disappointed. I'll have to rent it one of these days to see if maybe I'd like it more upon a second watching. Did so love those comics as a child.

The best Tintin adaption I've seen so far. This film combines several of the original Tintin comics and adds in a little extra action and drama (but not too much). The movie's not perfect, but let's face it, the original comics weren't perfect either. But they're both great.
