Can't expect anything less from Jackson and Spielberg

Rating: 7/10 (15 November 2011)

First and foremost The Adventures of Tintin is a nice movie which will appeal to both Tintin fans and others.This movie has Spielberg written all over it.It may not have fully followed the comics plot-line by Hergé but it has its heart at right place.It pays great homage to the Tintin series.Hardcore Purists of The Adventures of Tintin may not like this movie, But everyone else will surely enjoy the movie.
I found the acting good and the action scenes are overwhelming and breathtaking (a Spielberg classic). This movie is also filled with very genuine humor which I think along with action scenes are the movie's biggest strength.Captain Haddock and snowy are very funny and enjoyable to watch.
I watched the movie in IMAX 3D, But If you view this in 2D you wont miss much, as there isn't much 3D effect except for some scenes.The motion-capture used for the movie is very photo realistic and you can even see the sweat clearly on the face of Captain Haddock in one particular scene.The animation quality is top notch and all the characters look very convincing and real, even though they are modeled after their comic book counterparts.Now I see why Jackson said that the film will look "film noirish, very atmospheric". Spielberg acquired rights for the movie 1983 and in 2011 he has gone all-out to leave no stone unturned.
So to ramp it up, Positive points about this movies are Action Scenes, Humor , Great Animation quality (Both the characters and the atmosphere). Only negative point would be the plot-line which Hardcore Purists fans of comics may not like.This is the only thing that may push it back from the great status to good.But for me Its a great film as a Jackson and Spielberg union movie should be and should definitely be watched in the theater.
I am looking forward to see the next sequel with Peter Jackson as its co-director.
