Don't waste your time or your money on this epic failure

Rating: 1/10 (13 November 2011)

This movie is a complete catastrophe. Steven Spielberg and everyone else involved should be ashamed of themselves. To take such a spectacular masterpiece and turn it into this typical American and Hollywoody piece of crap is a slap in the face on Hergé and on anyone who has ever read his books. It is a shameless slaughtering of The Secret Of The Unicorn and it should never have seen the light of day. When a story of this extraordinary caliber is handed to you on a silver platter and all you have to do is translate it onto the big screen, how is it even possible to fail this tremendously? Why did Spielberg feel the need to confuse everything and ruin the entire story by mixing it up with The Crab With The Golden Claws? Why is a British actor doing Tintin's voice - do all Europeans really sound alike to Americans? And what's with Sackarine's ancestry from Racham the Red? Why does he even have this big a role? I'll have to read the original at least twenty times in order to erase this nightmare of a movie from my memory. And I will honestly cry myself to sleep tonight thinking of this disrespectful spitting on the grave of one of the greatest comics writers of all time.
