VividSimon Simply Perfect

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

whobahstank Echoing most of the reviews here, if you are a fan of tintin you will find everything wrong with this film. Haddock's voice is quite grating and makes any scene with him irritating. The animation can go from decent to "what the shrek am i watching" in a short time span. The man issue with the animation is the clash of Herge's character style mixing with the studio's rendition of people. Some parts just do not look like it relates to tintin. What annoyed me a lot was Professor Calculus and the magical hearing aid, he is supposed to be deaf. It doesn't stay true much at all to the comics, despite this particular adventure. It's like someone skimmed a volume, defecated on all the character's special quirks, resealed the package and presented this garbage as a movie. I give it 2 stars instead of 1 just because some parts were hysterically bad that i forgave it. Most scenes with the Thompsons were funny, so not all the characters were butchered. But if you are a huge fan of the cartoon and comics, don't take this film seriously.

trochon-1 I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it when I was a kid and had a chance to see it again with my daughter. The story is quite nice. There is a lot of action and humor. The pace is good and setting is nicely done. The story is original with a lot of references to the books.I don't know about the voices in English, but the French voices are excellent.Even if the story is a little more "simple" than what you will find in the books you have to remember that in the 70's, cartoons were made mostly for children. There was rarely 2 levels to a story, one for children and one for adults as it is so common (and fun) today. Still the story here is sufficiently well done to be entertaining for adults.Finally, Hergé himself worked on the movie. So I guess he must have found this close enough to the world of Tintin to be made.

million-13 After watching the series, then this movie, what a letdown! I totally agree with the previous comments from Dave Pit in France. Not true to the original Tintin character and the voices are appalling! I agree with the Popeye comment made earlier about Captain Haddock. That's what we thought too; what a monotone. They could have at least tried to make the voices similar sounding.It sounds and looks like some cheap rendition of a Scooby Doo story, with a bit of James Bond thrown in (the hand on the chair). The animation is cheap too, as is the music; sounded like something off a 70's do-good cartoon trying to save the world! I can't believe all that lengthy singing was added either! Very disappointing. Will stick to the TV series; and the books that I grew up with.

dbdumonteil This new Tintin's adventure (which isn't an adaptation of one of Hergé's albums) is quite successful although it brings nothing to Tintin's glory. It restores the atmosphere and the subjects that made the Tintin's success. We find a spy (here, it happens to be Mms Vlek), a highly-coveted Calculus' invention by Rastapopoulos' crew and a murder attempt.Of course, , the action, the humor (that mostly comes from the eccentric Thompsons detectives) and the justice's victory are always on appointment. Let's add a correct animation, some beautiful sceneries, always entertaining characters (Tintin, the captain Haddock, professor Calculus, the Thompsons detectives) and we get a honourable success.
