True to the comic books

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2011)

I was an avid reader of the Tintin comic books as a youngster and I also watched some of the first cartoons of it. After seeing the trailers on TV, I told my wife that we had to see the movie (she has never heard of Tintin). The movie was awesome! It was true to the comics, the CGI graphics were amazing, the 3d effect was cool, lots of excitement with added humor. One thing that I noticed was that Tintin seemed to look like he's in his late teens or early twenties. While in the comics I've always perceived him to be in his mid to early teens. Also, Tintin seemed to have a serious demeanor about him in the movie, whereas in the comics he seemed more jovial. Nevertheless, this is a must watch if you were a Tintin comics reader or not (my wife wasn't and she still enjoyed the film). Oh and what's with the extra $3 charge for 3d movies?
