Wonderful adaptation of a loved tale

Rating: 8/10 (19 December 2011)

I watched this in 3D, and this was the first 3D-movie I ever saw that works as a 3D-movie. The scenes were adequately bright not to make the scene blurry, as has been the case for me in some titles...
The Indiana Jones -style of cozy lighting, and antique furniture etc. makes for a nice atmosphere. I like how the characters have been rendered: as almost life-like but still comicky.
The only minus I have, is the excessive action scenes. The palace-escape scene was too long, and crazy. But perhaps this is what Herge would have wanted. I don't know. But I didn't care for that.
The best part was when Haddock memorizes the stories of his ancestry.
