A review of The Adventures of Tintin by an Avid Tintin Fan

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2011)

I have always been an ardent devotee to all good stories of adventure fictions genre. Though the two men,Hergé and Steven Spielberg are from two very dissimilar time and medium of work, their extraordinary accuracy and minuteness in every detail work put them on the same high pedestal. I have huge appreciation for marvelous master workmanship delivered by both Hergé and Steven Spielberg in their respective fields. Even if I tried, I couldn't say that I am the only one in my immediate circle, who knew who Tintin was before the release of this movie. To begin with, I have many friends from childhood who very much like myself, have been justly allured by the inescapable appeal of heroic Tintin. I have no hesitation to say that I probably was the most obsessed-by-Tintin kid in my group. My husband who is a Swedish is naturally not new to Tntin either. He also grew up with Tintin books. But I took this obsession far more seriously and probably somewhere down the line of my subconscious search for Tintin I had discovered Tintin in my European husband ( Of course I am joking but I happened to have heard this joke number of times from my family). That being said, it becomes quite evident that I had been slightly flawed... The rest of the review is readable @ http://www.brooklynvoice.com/?p=560
