Not a Spielberg Movie

Rating: 4/10 (13 November 2011)

I couldn't believe myself, that this a movie directed by Steven Spielberg. Got a chance to watch this movie in 3D and had to shell out a good amount of money for this. I am compelled to write this review as i was completely disappointed.
The movie starts on an interesting note with TinTin in a market place buying a souvenir of Unicorn and a host of characters warning about the consequences of having the Unicorn and asking him to return it. However, as soon as the other characters get introduced, the first half completely wanes out and becomes completely predictable. By the end of the first half, i felt like walking out.Instead, stayed back to watch the second half as i had to justify the money spent on the ticket.
In the second half, though the movie seems to be picking up some pace, again the movie becomes a drag and predictable making your visit to the theater a customary one.
The characters of Thompson brothers is just there for the sake of it. Captain Haddock seen in his drunken antiques doesn't arise any interest apart from a few scenes. The scenes of TinTin and the Captain fail to create any magic and look too Obvious and dumb. The character of Sakharine was the only character which was interesting.
If you had watched the classic TinTin series, which you would have certainly if you are reading this review, then please stay away from this. The screen adaptation is a complete drag. Neither the Story nor the screenplay could do no justice to the classic animation character. It is better, to watch the classic animation series of TinTin then this forgettable master-piece from Spielberg.
In my opinion, this movie doesn't deserve any stars. I had to give Four, only for the effort which was put to bring the animation to life which was so clear and vivid.
THIS IS NOT A SPIELBERG MOVIE!!!!!!!
