Spielberg would've have done a better research

Rating: 7/10 (26 December 2011)

Modification of the story-line was surprising and somehow awkward. Milou's (Snowy's) gestures were understated, this dog jumps out of the album when you read the comic, I expected more from the animation. Captain Hadock's nose was an exaggeration, the Duponts (Thompson's) and Nestor are fit in a tintinophile's memory. In my opinion the technique of the fading from a scene to another, in the couple of instances, although creative, didn't belong to this adventure. The scene where the blue suited man pointed to letters in a newspaper with blood, was silly, a Spielberg scene is expected to be of a higher standard. On the other hand I should praise the character of Tintin, Alan and couple of the Captain's crew, they were well represented!
