Applause for the effort

Rating: 4/10 (23 February 2012)

...I am European, and therefore LOVE Tintin.
I am absolutely in awe of this adaption in terms of graphics and execution.
The first half hour is spent being amazed and in love with the entirety of it all, in its full Technicolor.
The second half hour somehow gets a tad stale, and the last half hour is so apart from the comics, it's not even interesting to follow through.
In other words, almost the complete opposite of the comic books, which were a bit rough around the edges, but NEVER missed out on the excitement.
A worthy effort, and I can readily comprehend the man hours that got in to creating this. Yet I find myself admiring more the single man who created, wrote and executed the original...
4/10 for me.
