While it could seem like a lot of material for a whole movie, the choice of blending those three (two and a half) stories together turns out giving the movie a rather perfect pacing. Its beginning takes root in “Le Crabe aux Pinces D’or”, while the rest of the movie revolves around the two-albums story of the hunt for Rakham the Red’s treasure, “Le Secret de la Licorne” and “Le Trésor de Rakham le Rouge”. To clarify the origins of the story itself, you have to know that it isn’t the adaptation of one, but three Tintin comics. Spielberg and Jackson and all the team behind this movie adaptation obviously gave the original material the love and respect it deserved, while making it their own. This 3D motion-capture and CGI masterpiece combines three of Tintin’s most beloved stories ( The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn and Red Rackham’s Treasure). What begins as a fun, nimble little mystery in the first act soon kicks into comedy-action-adventure high gear when junior reporter Tintin, with his brave dog Snowy, stumbles upon boozy Captain Haddock (an excellent Andy Serkis), whose family legacy may prove pivotal in a race to uncover the secret of the Unicorn.
#THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN MOVIE TRIAL#
Thus after two decades of trial and error, the cinematic version of Tintin has finally reached our screens.Īlongside Spielberg on this project was maestro Peter Jackson as producer (perhaps you know him from the Lord of the Rings trilogy) and three of Britain’s brightest writers (Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish). The Plotīefore he died in 1983, (the man who created Tintin) Hergé said that if any filmmaker was to adapt his collection of stories about the adventures of Tintin into a movie, then Steven Spielberg was the only man for the job. It’s a great movie to have your favorite pet by your side as well. Oh, yeah, and don’t forget the frosty ice-cold beer while you are at it.
The movie is perfect, but I do believe that a bowl or Doritos or Wise / Lays (American style) potato-chips with a nice onion dip would really help to enhance the enjoyment of this movie. And that is why I loved this movies and recommend it for all your co-shut-ins.
It’s everything that an eleven year old boy could want and more. Oh, and let’s not forget being kidnapped and Shanghaied by your crew and an endless supply of whiskey. It’s also about treasure, hidden secrets, maps, and hidden clues, motorcycle escapes, and survival at sea. It’s a movie about adventure, strange lands, mysteries, pirates, and a cute white dog named Snowy. For me, as I watched it, I became an eleven year old boy again. Well, if you are stuck inside your home, with tons of time on your hands, nothing could be more rewarding than watching this jewel of a movie.
