While shopping at an outdoor market, young reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell), accompanied by his faithful dog, Snowy, buys a model of an old ship called the Unicorn. A shady character named Sakharine (Daniel Craig) and later an American named Barnaby (Joe Starr) try to buy the model from him, but Tintin refuses.

Big and noisy (like a kid's bedroom on a Friday night right about bedtime!) one might easily come to the conclusion that perhaps it's too big, and too noisy. The children though would disagree, and they're probably going to be right insofar as this call goes. The words 'rambunctious' and 'rollicking' come to mind.

Somany great things have been written down for this Movie, that are only few left for me. It is adventures, it is funny and a great journey with Tin Tin and his clever dog Struppi! ....and the captain with his rum. It was just somuch FUN to watch this Movie.

<i>The Adventures of Tintin</i> is the most impressively looking animation feature I have seen since <i>Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence</i> (2004), which from a technical point of view, it's an honor. Spielberg mixes several elements: - His trademarks, consisting in PG-rated humor, a John Williams score, the soul of a child in fantastical settings and an unquenchable thirst for transnational adventures in an Indiana Jones tradition. - His influences from both comic series (Hergé) to adventure films (<i>The Castle of Cagliostro</i> [1979], which Spielberg has claimed to be one of the greatest adventure movies of all time). We are very thankful that this modern reimagining was never adapted in a live-action fashion. On the contrary, it tried to adopt the story to the demands of the 21st Century with a visual spectacle and a high attention to detail and physics. Of course I personally prefer the original sources of Tintin entertainment, but it is always fair to evaluate all readaptations as standalone project, and this one delivers some goods. Be it as it may, a new level of animation seems to be reached each new decade, since <i>Final Fantasy: The Spirit Within</i> (2001). Ten years later, a new attempt has been done to cross visual boundaries and achieve new levels of realism. On top of that, this decent intrepid adventure features one of the most creative action sequences represented in a film, a stunt that Peter Jackson would try to replicate in <i>The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug</i> (2013), but certainly not as mindblowing. I do want to dedicate a few sentences to this sequence, actually, because its technical marvel relies on the fact that, for such sequence to be possible, an entire town had to be created, each movement previously timed, and all angles and distances previously calculated within the action for everything to fit into place AND to never lose the pace of an action sequence. That is the creativity required for videogame designers, considering the technology of today. Props to the creators, therefore, because the world created was convincing. 68/100

Even with the threat of occasional pickpocketing in the area, Tintin(Jamie Bell) still takes the time to enjoy himself in the city square with his dog, Snowy. While there, he purchases a particularly impressive looking ship model which almost instantly gets two competing offers which he turns down. But then in quick succession, the model is broken and then stolen. Tintin dicovers a clue that leads him to Sakharine(Daniel Craig) who had previously made one of the offers which is strange considering he already has a complete model of the ship in his possession. A dying man on Tintin's doorstep sends his investigation in a completely different direction, albeit involuntarily, as Tintin rues the fact that MacGyver will not air on television for another fifty years... On the one hand, "The Adventures of Tintin" can be a lot of fun at times. On the other hand, Steven Spielberg forgets the first two rules of basic filmmaking - never let the best part of the movie be the opening credits and never let a dog upstage his human co-stars. In point of fact, Tintin is also upstaged by Captain Haddock(Andy Serkis), along with the Thom(p)son Twins(Simon Pegg & Nick Frost) who also have an unnecessary scene to themselves.(Wait, so that's where that band got their name!) Since I am unfamiliar with the source material, I don't know if Tintin being a bland hero is par for the course, but he is very intelligent and a crack shot, so perhaps not. Maybe it's all in the service of Spielberg recreating another past world in attempting a return to his glory days, but this just seems like his rote version of his greatest hits, including his affinity for propellers. In any case, I am amazed at how far motion capture technology has come which can also never be a substitution for the real thing.
