Positively surprised. Great movie!

Rating: 8/10 (6 March 2012)

I had my doubts.
I was never a fan of tin tin as a kid so I saw this movie without "any" tin tin background and after reading a few reviews, that was probably the best, since many users can't really accept this as a "tin tin" movie but I don't think it is meant to be linked to the cartoons or comics that much to be honest. I didn't have any problems understanding the story in this one so I'd be so bald to call it completely independent of the cartoons and comic books, so relax. The comics are still there for you tin tin enthusiasts who can't accept this version of tin tin :)
I think the script is very good. I enjoyed this movie a lot.
I find Cap'n Haddock hilarious. The British humor is boiling out of his ears in this one. I would say Haddock's character in this movie is like Jack Sparrow in the curse of the black pearl mixed with a little monty python and a brilliant accent. A drunken sailor that somehow succeeds in the end.
The animation and graphics are surreal. I saw that some reviews said otherwise and that is beyond my understanding. This movie is gorgeous, you can't deny that even if you didn't like the script.
I do have to say that I did find the middle part a little bit dull but Haddocks moments really made this movie. Hilarious and I repeated them every five minutes in my head and found myself laughing every time the rest of the day.
Great movie for the family i'd say. No blood btw for y'all thinking of showing your kids this.
I can't rate this as some users as a tin tin movie since I have little to no experience of the tin tin character but I can rate this a a family comedy, and it really was entertaining.
