Awful! Just Plain Awful Hollywood Crap or How To Make Money With Any Story You Get

Rating: 3/10 (25 October 2012)

This movie should be considered the symbol of Hollywood stupidity, lack of inspiration and greed. Please let me explain why.
I have been an avid reader of Tintin since I was a small kid. I have read all of the Tintin comics several times(in french). Enough to know them by heart, actually! My favorite one is "Tintin au tibet". My favorite character is Haddock by far! I have even read books and commentaries about Tintin.
In my opinion, Spielberg's Tintin resembles Hergé's Tintin on the surface, hence in nothing. This proves that Spielberg is either not telling the truth by saying that he is a big Tintin fan, or that he made this movie for the masses. In either case, it is a bad movie. Here are the facts proving my point:
-Hergé's Haddock is a true depiction of human error and weaknesses: alcoholic, selfish, choleric, but in the same time so kind, funny and lovable. In other words, human. On the other hand, Tintin is the perfect hero: always trying to do good, never hesitating, very strong, etc.
-Spielberg's Haddock is unfunny, unkind and actually not lovable AT ALL! But the best comes in the end: when Tintin was hesitating and Haddock was so sure about doing the right thing and going for adventure and blabla. No!!!!! You cannot do that, Mr. Spielberg. This single thing proved to me that this director hasn't understood anything about Tintin.
It's all about the money honey! That's it and that's why the quality of movies sucks these days! Examples are numerous.
I don't want to debate anymore, but I would like to add that the movie is boring. Only the graphics are OK, but personally I don't go to the movies for the quality of the special effects.
And what about Haddock and his sheep-lover joke? Is this supposed to be funny?
