The Adventures of Tintin Reviews

Spielberg has made his first foray into computer-generated 3D animation. He proves a natural with the form, his (virtual) camerawork dizzying but fluid, and never confusing.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4

The movie is fun and colorful, but it doesn't have that creative explosion needed to bring Tintin to life.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

By no means a masterpiece, the full-length computer-generated animated film nevertheless has freed Spielberg from the shackles of conventional filmmaking and physical limitations.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

There are so many variables moving so fast that it's a wonder Spielberg didn't have someone onboard from Princeton's department of Higher Math to help keep track. But his crack team here is enough.

It's delirious stuff, often laugh-out-loud funny.

Arguably Spielberg's most out-and-out fun movie since Jurassic Park.

It has been said that Hergé believed that Spielberg was the only one who would be able to do justice to his work, and after having spent over 25 years trying to get the film made, Spielberg has finally delivered a result that is quite extraordinary.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

If the only flaw in a film is that it's so entertaining that it liquefies your brain, we should all be thankful.

Full Review | Original Score: 9/10

Tin Tin is a visual feast; a wondrous exploration of the boundaries of computer animation and performance capture.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

This "Raiders of the Lost Ark's Greatest Hits" is a delight to look at, even if motion capture isn't your particular cup of animation tea.

Full Review | Original Score: B-

You don't need to be a fan of - or indeed have more than a passing acquaintance with - the original Tintin comics to enjoy this film.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

A very entertaining, energetic film, highlighted by gravity-defying action set pieces. However, Tintin is also a bit emotionless, lacking character development.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10

If the movie reminds you of an animated Indiana Jones adventure, don't be surprised.

Full Review | Original Score: 7/10

The best animated film of 2011.

Full Review | Original Score: B

...more a virtual thrill ride than an old-fashioned action adventure. But while some of us will find the movie's frenetic pace exhausting, it seems that Spielberg is having fun.

Full Review | Original Score: 86/100

Finalmente temos de volta o Spielberg que tanta falta fez nos últimos anos, quando comandou mediocridades aborrecidas como O Terminal, Indiana Jones e o Reino da Caveira de Cristal e Cavalo de Guerra.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

With gorgeous animation and action typical of its director, Steven Spielberg brings a comic strip to the big screen - in 3-D, no less. 'Tintin' has a lot in common with 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and other fanciful Spielbergian adventures.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4

When I say The Adventures of Tintin sent me back to a more innocent, idealized time; a moment that I wanted to share with my children, I am not talking about watching a curiously brave investigative reporter.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

Along with the wondrous visuals, a rollicking adventure that careens at a breakneck speed from one death and gravity defying adventure to the next.

Full Review | Original Score: A-

[Spielberg] has used the form itself like a brand-new tool in his filmmaking kit, and the effect is exhilarating.
