true to its roots

Rating: 9/10 (1 January 2012)

as a tintin fan since childhood, i was a bit apprehensive about how the latest attempt to bring tintin on to the big screen would turn out as generally book adaptations rarely manage to satisfy the viewers who have read the book first(harry potter films being the prime example). but thank god tintin turned out to be a big exception. right from the credits the film had me totally hooked. true that the storyline was totally different from the comics but it felt like herge had hidden this story from us for all these years, the movie was that good!!. brilliant direction, script,voice acting, outstanding animation, a whirlwind ride throughout.. the only people i heard who didn't like the film much were the ones who hadn't read the comics...oh well...the readers deserve to have a good time as well!! ;) do yourself a favour and watch tintin esp if you've read and enjoyed the comics...no way can you come out of the movie hall disappointed :)
