Hats Off!!

Rating: 10/10 (14 November 2011)

After missing the special Director's preview this past Thursday i finally got the chance to see it last night with my friend who was not actually willing to go for this flick simply because he is a huge Bollywood movies fan. But as i was planning to see this movie since the teasers started on the you tube & unable to find a ticket for a Bollywood movie which was sold out even for the next morning show i eventually wound up to buy tickets for TINTIN.
Now straight to business.. the movie i saw was in 3D so i liked the technical part & special effects. This movie has some very great 3D effects we all have seen since AVATAR. i was clearly hearing the cheers from crowds & a couple sitting right next to me who were every now & then making a wow! sound. i liked the detailed background picture sequences & every things was so realistic that it does justice with its 3D aspect so i am giving 10/10 on the technical parts including sound effects also.
Now comes the screenplay. Well it can be a 50:50 argument that many people who had been a loyal fan of TINTIN era might find the accounts of the story or the thriller level not up to the mark..but i beg to differ here. I have seen the old Tintin animations and i did not kinda enjoyed them simply because it was so simple i mean no fancy artwork & story was just relied totally on twists & breakneck speed events...but i gotta tell you i loved this movie not because of the story or the amount of the action but the way it has added the technology to represent the right spirit of a TINTIN ADVENTURE. I always wished that a Tintin series should be modified for the taste of our younger generation so that this Gem in the comics industry can regain the place which rightfully belongs to it. So the Director has nicely kept the pace alive during the whole movie & no one felt dull for a moment in the cinema hall so the credit goes to the director & script writers.
Also movie has lots of funny moments which helps the audience to connect with the story in a much positive manner who has not been aware of the TINTIN character especially in Asian subcontinent. While every body coming out of the Cinema hall i remember had a smile on their faces & an expression of satisfaction that they have viewed a fine piece of cinema; so thanks to Steven Spielberg who not only believed in the possibilities of this project but also decided to finance it completely. and his ability to turn simple projects in to a blockbuster can be seen here once again.
SO overall i liked this movie very much..i would also tell you that this is my first animation movie which i have seen inside a Cinema hall..simply because i used to believe that an animation cannot be more entertaining then real actor's performance but i think i need to revisit my old belief.
i thoroughly enjoyed the movie so my rating is 10/10.
Catch it you won't be disappointed..tell your friends & family to see it & don't wait for a pirated copy because some things in life are worth spending money.
