What took them sooo long??!! GO-IT'S GREAT IN 3D/IMAX
Having been a Tintin fan since the late 1960's, I wasn't sure what to expect with "The Adventures of Tintin". But Steven Speilberg has done it again!
For those who are familiar with Herge's series will know that the movie contains a combined story line from the "The Crab with the Golden Claw" & "The Secret of the Unicorn" with the indefatigable Castafiore thrown in, who, by the way was a wonderful addition. When the script wavered from the books, instead of being daft, silly, or superfluous, value & emphasis is added to the scene.
The graphics is amazing. For example, in the close up shots, one could see the skin's pores and soft hairs that everyone has on their face; the veins in the characters arms and with the clothes that the characters wore, one could almost feel the material!
Early in the movie, Tintin was in the market getting a portrait drawn, which when displayed, the caricature or cartoon is as he appears in the Herge books to how he is in the movie was striking!
