epic fail, I expected anything better

Rating: 1/10 (21 December 2011)

this was the least entertaining film I've seen in a long time. I never read a Tintin book, I don't know the story, I just knew Spielberg knows how to make great films and went blindly in to experience something great. It was horrible. From start to finish, I felt like I was watching TV on Nick Jr., nothing compelling in the story, nothing funny about it even though they throw bad joke after bad joke at you relentlessly.
Don't get me wrong, if you are taking a 6-9 year old to this movie, you are in the right boat. And it is a great technical example of what they can do with digital rendering and 3-D. Just don't expect much depth or something that'll last in your head or heart. It's like a teenager wrote this, not a professional artist.
It was a total waste of an evening out with my wife who felt exactly the same about the movie. I'm generally open and forgiving, but this was an epic fail.
