Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson managed to do something very fun with this movie: they combined several Tintin stories into one and came up with a whole new Tintin story for us to enjoy. I'm sure the movie looks fine on a regular screen, but having seen it on an IMAX screen, I'd probably not want to "downgrade". If you have a real IMAX screen in your area, splurge for the biggest screen in town. It's well worth it.

A note to the parents wondering if they can take their children: the Tintin stories were definitely written for boys, but girls will be equally entertained by this movie. There is no bad language, nudity, or graphic violence, but there is gun-fighting, explosions, pirate-swashbuckling, and high-speed chases. Death scenes are done off-camera, but the audience will still be confronted with a body count after the gunfire subsides. Hergé was not above killing off characters in his stories, and it may be a plot device that young American children have not been exposed to if their animation "base" is the Disney movie catalog. Nevertheless, the theater was packed with boys and girls as young as 5 on the day I went, with both their parents *and* grandparents in tow, and there was no child outbursts or families shuffling out due to the film's content. I sat next to a young lad who couldn't have been more than 7, and at the end of the movie I turned to him and asked, "So, did you like the movie?" He nodded happily.

The animation is AMAZING. It is probably some of the best animation I have seen in a the last 20 years, and Jackson's Weta Digital has gone from being known as just a digital special effects house to a full-on animation studio. The voice actors were all perfect choices as well: Jamie Bell (who replaced Thomas Sangster due to a delay in the project) as Tintin has that soft boyish tone one would expect, while Andy Serkis cements himself as the quintessential Voice Man of the early 21st century. His depiction of Captain Haddock and Sir Francis Haddock (basically the same voice) are so far from the now-familiar Gollum / Smeagol voice that he created for the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy (and will reprise in the upcoming 'Hobbit' movies) that it is both amazing and spot-on at the same time. Simon Pegg and Nick Frost do a fine job as The Thompson Twins, but are not given enough lines to be that impressionable. I'm sure they took the roles because they were huge fans of Tintin growing up, and knew that they would be called upon to do the voice in the sequel. (Yes, there will be a sequel, and quite possible even a third movie - huzzah!) One character that is a wonderful surprise addition is voiced by opera singer Kim Stengel, and her performance is simply glass-shattering. 

Whether you're a fan of the original stories or you've never heard of the young man with his faithful dog Snowy, be prepared to enjoy this movie!

Having never read these growing up, I had little idea of what to expect, and found it like possibly many viewers to be a rollicking adventure with amazing use of mo-cap. I'm still left wondering where the female voices are, and with possibly an even larger question of "How old is Tintin supposed to be anyway?" Nonetheless Bell is a compelling hero, Craig shows his diverse colours in the villainy, and Serkis' moves are better than ever even if he is mostly human this time around.

I'm ashamed to say that the older I get the harder I find it to engage with fully animated movies. That said, the cast and crew of this, from Spielberg to Wright to Jackson to Cornish, made it a must-view. Three years later and I finally have and I'm pleased to say it's excellent fun. The animation is probably the best I've ever seen (Weta's motion capture has always been incredible but it shines here) and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout. Some lovely funny moments that scream Edgar Wright keep the laughs coming and Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock was a standout performance. My interest in animation-lead movies hasn't fully gone yet.

How is it possible that this film has just 3 votes 3 years after release? This is simply the best animation I have ever seen with one spectacular chase scene in particular which was breathtaking. Steven Spielberg directed this film so perhaps it is no surprise. Those who grew up with Tintin books in particular will appreciate seeing their childhood hero coming to life on the big screen but I believe it stands up well to those unfamiliar with the books as well. This film introduces us nicely to most of the series' main characters. Well worth watching and suitable for nearly all ages.
