I enjoyed reading Tintin while in school, and so naturally I was interested in finding out how Spielberg and Jackson might do justice to the much loved 80 year old comic series.
Well, the motion capture technology is not bad at all. They really captured the facial expressions, and created a world somewhere between cartoon and real life. Worry not; it is less like Robert Zemeckis’s Mars needs Moms but more like Gollum in Lord of the Rings, which means totally relatable characters.
This Tintin movie captures the fast paced, comedic nature of the literature, but Captain Haddock’s character, played by the one and only Andy Serkis, hogged more of the spotlight compared to the titular character himself. Good, or bad? Captain Haddock was supposed to be the second sidekick after Snowy.
So it is a must watch for Tintin fans, but also great fun all around. Rating: 7.5/10
