The Adventures Of Tintin [Review]

Legend has it that Steven Spielberg has found a love for Tintin, the Belgian comic book character, after he released Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark and the fans have paid between high adventure feeling first Indiana Jones movie and comic book series Tintin, a reporter who sleduetmolodoy on unlikely adventures. It took thirty years, but now Spielberg brings the adventures of Tintin animated version on the screen in a film that feels very much like the mood and tone of the film that started it all, Raiders of the Lost Ark If nothing else, Adventurs of Tintin shows that Spielberg all can still handle the style of Indiana Jones adventure, and do not need George Lucas and Harrison Ford to pull it off.

Unfortunately, there is a Tintin character, which was supported by a majority of the American public, making it very difficult cartoon zadachey.Film enter primary characters, the titular reporter boy and his faithful sidekick dog, Snowy, as well as secondary characters, like Interpol agents bumbling Thomson and Thomson while crafting a story based on the adventures Tintin, but without anyone feel excluded for not familiar with, or alienated to prior knowledge, symbols, before entering the theater. I'm happy to say that the story is made well enough that beginners will quickly catch up with landscape film, while old fans will find plenty of Easter eggs at an early stage in the form of a passive reference to the previous Tintin adventures.

Adventure, this time dealing with the model of the ship takes on Tintin in the first scene of the film. Despite numerous warnings not to take quick ship (or perhaps because of them), Tintin finds himself, along with the snow man on a huge adventure, which is associated with the legacy of the old warship, Unicorn, and a descendant of Captain of the vessel, the captain Haddock. As Tintin and Captain Haddock form an alliance to find a unicorn and may treasure it carried in its heyday, they are carried out on land, sea and air, as they avoid the mysterious Sakharine, which is also in search of treasure. But this is not history Unicorn, haddock and Sakharine it seems, and will be in the Tintin adventure trying to solve it all.

Tintin is the first foray into animated Spielberg's world, after countless live militants. Even if this is new territory for the director, it comes across as a very comfortable position. The plot and action to feel like an Indiana Jones movie, and his usual partnership with composer John Williams creates a sense of epic adventure, as necessary. I know that it is planned that the second film of Tintin will be directed by Peter Jackson (who serves as producer of the film), with Spielberg production, but on the whole Tintin makes me wish the director would like to add more animation work in the future. I do not know how he feels about working in an environment, but I think his achievement in the look and feel of the film stands up to any of his fighters alive.

The style of animation for the film makes use of motion capture, which can be dangerous territory for the filmmakers. How many films have a well-known director Robert Zemeckis has done that have been criticized for being soulless, empty eyes because of the style of animation? Spielberg managed to overcome this obstacle, maintaining a stylized film look. It would be easy to go with a simple, three-colored look of the original Tintin comics (and a good bow that style at the beginning of the movie), but Spielberg has finished mixing the cartoon character's origin with a more realistic appearance. The result is a high quality of some cartoon animation, which conveys the emotions and actions with style and grace. Spielberg's feature film experience helps him to use the camera so that the audience is quickly absorbed and makes it easy to forget what you see are mostly created in the digital world.
While Jamie Bell (Billy Elliot, King Kong) does an admirable job as the holder Tintin, the truth is that the main character is probably the weakest of the group.

Each scene is stolen by dog are Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock. Haddock, portrayed by the veteran vocal motion capture work, Andy Serkis, continues the legacy of the race of powerful actor. The character drunk audience needs to care and listen to advance the plot and enhance the action, but we must also find a bit objectionable to create some of the comedy hits in history. Serkis who brings out of balance with skill and is a shame that once again his work was overlooked. Snowy, by contrast, is a fully digital creation that not only steals scenes, but manages to handle the action when the focus is entirely on him like a scene in which Tintin has been beaten unconscious and kidnapped. Full credit must be given to the animators who created the digital dog with an ability that is equal to the talent Serkis brings to human performance.

Tintin is a film that was conceived and designed as a 3D version, which means they became my best to see the movie (the design and the fact that my local theater left me an option to view 2D presentation). While there are some scenes that make effective use of 3D presentation, especially a chase scene towards the end of the film that has streets full of people and a bird rising out of reach, most of the film I was impressed when he came to the 3D design. I do not think it would have been deceived by the capture of the film in a flat presentation instead of having to pay a few dollars more for glasses and a few memorable scenes.

The biggest disappointment of Tintin has absolutely nothing to do with what Spielberg and company manage or fail to do. The truth is that The Adventures of Tintin is a brilliant adventure film set that is likely to be more accessible to the entire family of Raiders of the Lost Ark or any of the other Indiana Jones movies (no fusion faces of Tintin for example). The biggest problem is that there is simply no interest in these characters or this film in the United States, and the names of Spielberg and Jackson are not enough to fill the theaters with an answer as mediocre in content. People who do not see it are missing out on one of the best images of Spielberg in recent years, especially for movies aimed at the entire family. Those who see it are sure to be enthralled by Tintin.
