This may be the most realistic animated movie I've ever seen.

Rating: 10/10 (11 January 2012)

My mom and I decided to see this movie and I would actually forget I was watching something that was not real. The movie is about a boy named Tintin. He does things for the news as a reporter. One day while him and his dog are out he sees something at an outdoor market. He sees a wooden ship. He decides to buy it. It seems that there are others who want this ship. A couple of people offer him money for it, but he refuses. Throughout the movie he discovers just why the ship is so valuable, while having a fund, intense adventure and meeting a new friend.
This was such a cool movie. I didn't get bored at any point. I actually forgot I was in a theater. I felt like I was watching Pirates of the Caribbean. That is how intense I was. Now, don't think it is all action. There are parts that get a bit slower. My mom actually fell asleep during one of these parts. But, it has to be that way to tell you the story. You get to hear an interesting story while at the same time watching it unfold before your eyes. My mom and I saw this in standard, not 3D. But wow, in 3D I think this movie would be absolutely amazing. When the ships are going in the water or a fight scene comes on, it would probably blow your mind. I think the movie had a good mix of action, mystery and adventure. I never really felt like I was getting to much or to little of any of them. At the end, it seems like they left it open for another movie. Which is a great thing because this was one of the coolest movies I've seen.
