Worth your time. Not so sure about the story line.

Rating: 7/10 (19 October 2013)

I'm a huge Tintin fan (the books) and have read those books over and over again and I know them like the back of my hands. I've been so excited to watch the movie since it was announced.
Whether it's brilliant or not, I have mixed feelings.
First of all, Spielberg and Jackson are among my favorites and yes they have done a good job. The film is very entertaining and the animation is remarkable. You can be satisfied with the movie and think it was worth your money. However as a hardcore Tintin fan I didn't like the fact they changed the story and even the characters. I felt that Tintin's and Captain Haddock's personalities were extremely different from the books. They have changed them to bring humor, entertainment and even flow to the changed storyline. I also felt they went overboard with trying to make the movie funny.
Beside those issues which I'm sure I'm the only one who has them with this movie as a fan of the books, it did not feel like a waste of time. Many people don't mind watching it again (which is a good sign). Great animation! Spielberg and Jackson did not disappoint me. :) Seven stars because I wasn't happy with the changed story. Thumbs up!
