Adventures of Tintin

Rating: 4/10 (12 November 2011)

There have not been many huge animation surprises this year, and after just watching the movie, my conclusion is that "The Adventures of Tintin" is not a huge surprise too. Don't get me wrong. The movie is still good, very good in fact. It is just that I expected as it is the mastermind Steven Spielberg.
The movie starts off by giving us some background information of the story and the adventure begins very soon, and it gets pretty exciting scene after scene. This movie shows the main character, Tintin's determination and curiosity that drive him to tirelessly pursue the truth.
The animation is great; the voice acting is great. Though I haven't seen for myself the difference between 2D and 3D, but still, judging on the intensity of the scenes, the 3D should be a better, and undoubtedly worthwhile choice.
As Steven Spielberg first try on animation, this is not disappointing. For me, this is the best animated film of the year, but as I've mentioned above, 2011 hasn't been a very active year for animated films. My guess is that "Tintin" will most definitely get nominated for Best Animated in the Oscars, and quite possibly will win. After all, Spielberg is a big name and this movie isn't really bad, and it is released in the right time, too.
