Bad film

Rating: 1/10 (26 October 2011)

I am sorry for my English but I am french.
To me the movie is really bad in itself, even without thinking to the original comic.
But you can guess it's largely worse if you dare to compare it to the very clever and rich Hergé piece.
In fact there are several problem:
1- The story is empty, it has no link at all with the comic, they took three episodes, they mixed them and kept only the action scenes. They added other action scenes that are completely absurd and ridiculous.
To me the most idiot thing, its the fact they added an highlander touch with the bad guy and haddock which is completely anachronistic and silly. The crane fight reminds the worse of Michael Bay, thats a shame they ruined this way such a subtle and class stuff for a "rain man" audience.
Also the characters have no way a link with the original ones. Haddock don't fight at all, and don't act like Tarzan, thats absurd.
2- The directing and the edit are absolutely awful. We cant breath, all go too fast, the camera is always moving, the transition are supposed to be hype but it has no class at all. Thats shallow and hysterical.
3- The visuals are ugly, OK the sets are cool, but the problem is about the character who are really boring and unbearable.
4- The music has no personality, its sad to see such a great guy as John Williams doing something so impersonal.
Big disappointment made to please American audience, and sacrificing the original spirit of tintin.
Even the little Belgium cartoon made on tintin which has not been made with thousands millions of dollars in early 90's is better, cooler, funnier, and more smart:
