Snowy Was A Dog-Gone Cool Canine Sidekick

Rating: 6/10 (1 July 2013)

Even though, for the most part, I did enjoy The Adventures Of TinTin very much, I found that at a running time of 2.5 hours it constantly cried out for some very serious editing.
I'd say that about a good half hour's worth of sheer uselessness could've easily been axed from this one's story and no one would've noticed the diff one way or the other.
But, of course, at the hands of director Steven Spielberg the viewer was put through a long, drawn-out hell before he came to his senses and got to the story's point.
Yeah. Instead of a quick-paced, tightly packed story of, say, 2 hours, here, way too much time was spent re-telling a tale from yesteryear. And having TinTin take an extended adventure over to North Africa, only to find out (to my growing frustration) that what really mattered when it came to solving the whole mystery of the Unicorn was right back in good, old London.
I don't know about you, but, for me, all of this needless rigmarole only left me with a sense of disappointment in this film's final product.
