Best Motion Capture Work Ever!

Rating: 10/10 (18 May 2020)

Let me just start off by saying, just like Catch Me If You Can this film has so much effort put just into the opening credits alone, Steven Spielberg puts SO MUCH effort into all of his work and you definitely can see it in this movie, too! The motion capture looks so realistic that after a while I even forgot it was a motion capture movie. Just like some of Spielberg's other work, this film has developed a cult following since its release which is VERY understandable.
We get into the plot of the film and this is when it gets really interesting, Tintin purchases a ship for a pound at a market and this item, supposedly, has a lot of background history, Tintin goes to a library and researches about the ship and discovers that it was a replica of a ship made in the late 16th century, but just as Tintin returns home, he comes back to discover that his ship had been stolen by a man at the market who said bad things happen when people take hold of this item. He goes to the Marlinspike Hall, a big bulky dog comes chasing after Tintin and his puppy, but Tintin's dog toughens up and they become friends.
Tintin enters the Marlinspike hall through a window, little does he know that our antagonist, Sakharine, Red Rackham, played by Daniel Craig and his supervisor are staying in this place protecting the first original ship. Our protagonist then gets knocked out by an old man, Nestor, he finds out that the ship Red Rackham has in the Marlinspike Hall is not his, it was a second one which Sir Francis made and they're both identical. I could study this film all day and never get bored because of how much of a fun time it is and it has also got to be my favourite film of the decade!
Score: 10/10
