Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Delight Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
cricketbat I don't know why The Adventures of Tintin didn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Animated Feature. The animation is as interesting as Rango's, the voice work is as good as it is in Kung Fu Panda 2 and it's just a better movie than Puss in Boots. It's not a great film, but it has some fun action sequences and an entertaining story. It's like Indiana Jones, but, you know, for kids.

robipatr The Adventures of Tintin is an Indiana Jones-type adventure, spanning across the globe, with likable characters, and a cunning villain, voiced by Daniel Craig. The animation is fantastic, and it really helps you feel like you're part of the action. My favourite scene is when Captain Haddock (played by Andy Serkis) has a flashback to his pirate ancestor, fighting off intruders. My one criticism is when Captain Haddock fights the villain. With a crane. A crane sword fight. It's fun to watch but it's so unbelievable. A movie that should be brought up more. 8/10
LadyAmina The Tintin comics have been in my life since Primary school, I have no favorite when it comes to any of Tintin's adventures. I was no fan of the cartoon adaptations, i t was just like reading the comics without seeing the speech bubbles. But I was thrilled with this one, the animation was so realistic, it was like watching an actor play Tintin instead of voicing him, this time I felt Hergé's creation had finally come to life. Being a long standing fan of Tintin, I understood the merging of 'The Secret of The Unicorn' and 'Red Rackham's Treasure' but was aghast when I saw 'The Crab with The Golden Claws' was also added, it sort of made the film's plot seem rushed. And why change the villain? Plus, I felt his real grudge against Captain Haddock was also stretched too far, though I liked the nail biting duel between them. Captain Haddock has never been a character I was fond of, in this movie I simply hated him. Sorry if I am been dramatic , but Haddock's passion for alcohol makes him behave foolishly and do stupid things, he was downright annoying and irritating more than he is in the comics. And as for Tintin, he is ever the optimist, why make him suddenly decide to give up when it seemed the villain had won? That was wrong of the writers. And while he seemed more realistic than in the cartoons, he remained the enigma he was in the comics. What do we know about Tintin? A reporter who travels a lot and gets into mysteries accompanied by his white fox terrier Snowy. What is his family background? Why doesn't he have a girlfriend? Does he work for a particular paper or does he sell his stories to different papers who pay him for it? We still know little of him, after all these years. All the same, I liked this movie and I LOVED the wonderful homage to Hergé by depicting him as the street artist sketching Tintin. Hergé (rest in peace) will be glad how far his creation has lasted.
