Spielberg attempts his hand at animation

Rating: Null/10 (28 February 2012)

When it comes to bringing the character of Tintin alive on screen even the best of Hergé's fans would not dispute that the project was in safe hands of the creative genius Spielberg. And to top it up with 3D, makes it better than the best.
The grandeur and glory is undoubtedly at its best, however it leaves more to desire as you walk out of the cinemas. The narrative sways in pattern of troughs and crests. And the flashbacks which are far-too-many ensure it hits the bump at regular intervals. The 3D visuals might hold attention but after a while the novelty wears thin. The lighter moments of Haddock and Thompson Brothers seems to have failed to translate on screen.
To put in simple words, you fail to get that Pixar feeling (blistering barnacles!).
