Better than the comics.

Rating: Null/10 (24 November 2011)

Better than the comics.
First of all: This is not a Steven Spielberg movie! You can easily recognize it by the style of the movie. It is a Peter Jackson movie, therefore I was disappointed not to see his name loud and clear on the screen, but I recognized his company "Wingnut". :-)
Sure, Spielberg has its merits. - Lately: Real Steel And also his failures (my opinion): - Cowboys & Aliens - Transformers (all of them) Or moments where he is 50/50: - Super 8 But his strength lies in the past: - Back to the Future - The Goonies - Gremlins - Poltergeist Those are simply unforgettable and got him his fame.
Now when it comes to Mr. Peter Jackson it is a whole different thing. This man has practically only successes. My favorites are: - District 9 - The Lovely Bones (also with Steve, but also this one is more likely a Peter movie) - King Kong - The Frighteners - Braindead (the second best) - Bad Taste (the best of them all)
Why all this listings. Now when you look close and you know all those movies you can judge by the style that Tintin is a Peter Jackson movie.
To the movie itself: I never really liked the comics as kid. They were somehow chaotic and weird. The movie manages to bring a little bit order into Herge's original story telling style, but still too much of it remains. Still it gives you an entertaining time, but let's hope that not all of the comic series will make it to the screen, that would simply be too much.
