Incredibly exciting, dull ending

Rating: 8/10 (8 April 2012)

First off, I have never read any Tintin comics, so this is by no means a comparison. On the whole, this movie is tremendous.
The CGI is brilliant, the action scenes are gripping, the characters are funny and likable, the story is clever and the animation is flawless.
My one complaint for this movie, is the ending. They left the movie open for a sequel, resulting in a somewhat dull anticlimax. The movie was very exciting and thoroughly enjoyable, but I left feeling a bit disappointed, due to the blunt and boring ending. All the action seems to happen, and then we are left with this action-less, dull climax to wrap everything up, and it does the movie as a whole no good.
Apart from the ending though, this movie is exciting, funny and an overall quality film. I recommend this to anyone, as the vast majority of this film is superb, but I did leave feeling somewhat disappointed with the ending.
But maybe that's just my bad feelings for sequels. If you leave a movie buzzing and excited for the sequel, instead of disappointed by a loose ending, you'll love this film, but personally, a sequel won't be for me.
Overall great movie.
