Detective?

Rating: 8/10 (28 January 2012)

My next movie review is on the movie "The Adventures of Tintin," starring Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Thomson, and Thompson. I honestly had forgotten about Tintin. When I saw the previews for this movie it brought great joy because this is something that was apart of my childhood. Even though the cartoon series is a little blurry to me.
This movie is about the courageous Tintin going on a quest to find buried treasure! He gets clues as to what is going on and his curious nature attacks immediately!
Even though its a little typical I thought it was a well put together animation film. I liked it a lot and I'm looking forward to getting it on DVD. The adventure in the movie was on point! Everything you could ask for in this kind of movie. This movie was fun, exciting, adventurous, and had some comedy in it too.
I think lots of kids would like this movie. The only thing about kids watching this film that you should be aware of is that there is someone getting shot down in the movie and the captain is drinking though out the movie. If your child is mature enough to watch that than you and your family should have a great time watching this film. This is definitely going to be some kids favorite childhood movie. These type of films make me happy that I was born when I'm born so I can enjoy such movies.
A couple of little things that I liked about the movie are how the directors made a reference to the old "Tintin" television series. I also liked how when the pocket thief got smacked he had birds flying around his head. It reminded me of how cartoons were back in the day. It was a refreshing reminder. It immediately made me think of "Roger Rabbit" when the birds were flying around his head. Plus I thought Simon Pegg and Nick Frost were great picks to play the police officers Thomson and Thompson.
I'm giving this movie an 8 out of 10. I enjoyed watching it and I can't wait to see the second movie that they obvious set us up for at the end of this one.
