Get
ready
to
go
back
to
your
childhood
with
The
Adventures
of
Tintin:
The
Secret
of
Unicorn.
Dive
into
the
world
of
fairy
tales,
fantasies
and
a
make-believe
world
of
grand
settings
and
larger
than
life
costumes.
The
comic
book
creation
of
the
Belgian
artist
Herge,
Tintin
has
long
captivated
the
imagination
of
millions
across
the
globe
ever
the
first
appearance
in
1929.
Steven
Spielberg
was
so
impressed
with
Peter
Jackson"s
work
in
the
Lord
of
the
Rings
that
he
collaborated
with
him
to
make
one
of
the
best
movies
for
the
modern
movie
goers.
The
Adventures
of
Tintin
is
based
on
three
books
-
The
Crab
with
the
Golden
Claws,
The
Secret
of
the
Unicorn
and
Red
Rackham's
Treasure.
The
screenplay,
written
by
Steven
Moffat,
Edgar
Wright
and
Joe
Cornish,
mixes
some
of
the
elements
from
all
three
books
to
narrate
a
tale
of
the
spirited
young
reporter/adventurer
Tintin
and
gruff
and
alcoholic
seadog
Captain
Haddock
(Serkis).
Produced
by
Peter
Jackson
and
directed
by
Steven
Spielberg,
The
Adventures
of
Tintin
with
its
spectacular
animation
and
some
beautiful
staging
takes
you
back
to
your
childhood
days.
One
of
the
drawback
is
that
kids
as
well
as
adults
are
likely
to
get
lost
and
will
not
be
able
to
keep
up
with
Tintin"s
thought
process
and
adventure.
Spielberg
has
beautifully
captured
Haddock"s
hallucination
trip.
The
Adventures
of
Tintin
is
Spielberg's
first
animated
film
and
he
has
beautifully
captured
the
dynamism
of
Herge's
works.
He
has
quite
literally
'breathed
life'
to
Herge's
characters,
and
to
say
in
Spielberg's
own
words,
“This
was
the
'best
way
to
honor
Herge."
Spielberg
has
kept
the
old
European
look
of
the
film
intact.
A
one-shot
action
sequence
set
in
Morocco
is
amazing
and
stands
out.
The
roller-coaster
chase
is
captivating.
The
animation
looks
breathtakingly
beautiful
on
3D
on
the
big
screen.
With
this,
Spielberg
has
successfully
reached
out
to
a
wider
audience.
The
Adventures
of
Tintin
is
visually
the
most
dazzling
film
to
hit
the
theatres
since
Avatar
and
Tron:
Legacy.
The
transitions
of
the
scenes
is
fantastic.
Steven
Spielberg
has
made
sure
to
provide
attention
to
every
detail.
The
legendary
John
Williams
makes
a
comeback
with
wonderful
orchestral
score.
Williams
has
given
the
Adventures
Of
Tintin
a
unique
musical
interpretation.
Comparisons
invariably
come
with
the
Tinin"s
symphonic
theme
by
Ray
Parker,
Jim
Morgan
and
Tom
Szczesniak,
composed
for
the
TV
series,
but
none
scores
over
the
other,
in
fact
they
are
perfect
complements
of
the
time
and
technology,
influencing
their
respective
creations.
The
sophisticated
computer
animation
effortlessly
blends
the
voices,
expressions
and
movements
of
the
stars.
The
characters
and
the
background
vistas
match
with
the
original
drawings
that
Herge
did
for
his
cartoons.
However,
it
cannot
be
said
that
The
Adventures
of
Tintin
is
without
any
folly.
A
few
scenes
are
exaggerated
and
go
over
the
top.
Having
said
that,
one
cannot
deny
that
The
Adventures
of
Tintin
is
one
of
the
most
entertaining
movies
of
the
year.
With
this,
Spielberg
has
introduced
to
us
the
first
set
of
Tintin
comics.
The
world
is
ready
for
Tintin
franchise
to
come
along.
Overall,
The
Adventures
of
Tintin
is
film
worth
watching
with
your
kids!
