Good in parts...

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2012)

It's all very well made with state of the art animation and motion capture to the fore. All the performances were very good with Andy Serkis standing out as Captain Haddock. It did, however, feel like a series of set pieces stitched together by a rather flimsy adventure story. Far too much is left to coincidence for anything to be credible I'm afraid, which is probably why I wasn't really a fan of the Tintin stories in the first place. Over all, it didn't quite work for me; however, I would be interested to see what they do with the next instalment.
SteelMonster's verdict: RECOMMENDED (Just)
My score: 6.9/10
