I've been looking forward to a proper tintin movie for longer than most ns'ers have been alive.


Looks like it might be good. I'll see it regardless.

And i feel like a loser because based on that 1 trailer, i can tell they combine the aspect of the plots of several of the books into 1 movie, and put it all under 1 title.

anyone seen it?


Just got back from it, and I gotta say...I was impressed. There's a few tweaks/additions, but otherwise they kept true to the plot very well. And it was visually spectacular...also a movie that finally used 3d properly to add depth to the settings, not just shit popping out at you.


well done. Can't wait for the 2nd one...

it doesn't. I really can't think of any negative criticism.


The only thing that was noticeable was that haddock doesn't seem to actually drink as much as in the books. He still has plenty of bottles/is an alcoholic, but doesn't drink nonstop. Probably political correctness....which is funny, because they also make it clear that he hasn't been sober in so long that he doesn't remember what it's like.
