It’s taken me a month to get the theater to check out the first of two movies Mr. Spielberg has out right now. Despite the credits reading like a who’s who of my favorite storytellers (Peter Jackson, Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright), I was only somewhat interested in the story but very interested in the animation.
The Basics: Based on a Belgian comic book series popular during the 1930′s, the story follows the many adventures of its title character, Tintin (that’s pretty much what it says) an intrepid young reporter.
What I Liked: The animation did not disappoint. The very first frame looked so photo-real that for a split second, I thought maybe there was short before the feature. CG animation has come a long way in the last decade or so. I remember being fascinated by Sully’s fur in Monsters Inc. But getting skin tone and texture has still been lagging and human characters often seem dead-eyed. Well, not anymore. Despite these characters looking like the cartoons they were based on, they are amazingly real; Tintin and Captain Haddock especially. Tintin, played by Jamie Bell, is a really amazing performance. Some of his movements and emotions are so subtle; it’s really astounding. And Captain Haddock, played by King of All Motion Capture Andy Serkis, completely reminds me of Tommy Lee Jones.
It’s easy to see how this story captured Spielberg’s love of 30s and 40s serials. It has the same sort of innocent adventurous feel as Raiders of the Lost Ark. And it’s great to see what Spielberg does with a camera when there are no physical obstacles. Some of the shots during the action sequences are dizzying!
What I Didn’t Like: You can tell that the filmmakers were trying to capture the spirit of a 1930′s comic while trying to update some aspects, but not everything translates to the modern world. The bumbling twin-like detectives, played by Brilliant Comic Bromancers Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, just come across as silly. And there are more than a few extremely convenient plot contrivances. Several times I found myself thinking, “Really, it’s that easy?”
Bottom Line: Not completely up to standards for the filmmaking gods behind it but still very much worth a trip to the theater (and worth the 3D glasses – I don’t often say that). Give your child-like spirit a night at the movies!

Wow, marvelous blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
you make blogging look easy. The overall look of your web site is magnificent, let alone the content!
This post provides clear idea for the new visitors of blogging,
that really how to do blogging and site-building.
It’s not just mocking others; it’s in on the joke itself. That self-awareness is what elevates it above mere snark. The Prat newspaper feels like it’s written by people who know they’re also part of the farce. Refreshing.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The satire on PRAT.UK feels written by people who actually observe British life. NewsThump often exaggerates too much, but PRAT.UK gets the balance right. — The London Prat
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. The Daily Squib often sounds angry, while PRAT.UK sounds clever. The humour is sharper without being heavy-handed. That tone works far better. — The London Prat
I visited several websites except the audio quality for audio songs existing
at this site is truly superb.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it
or something. I think that you can do with some pics to drive the message home a bit, but instead
of that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read.
I will certainly be back.
Great! We are all agreed London could use a laugh. Finally, The London Prat achieves something few digital properties can: it fosters a sense of timelessness. Its best pieces are not shackled to the ephemeral news cycle. Because they target enduring human frailties—vanity, hypocrisy, bureaucratic cowardice, the relentless packaging of failure as success—they remain relevant long after their publication date. An article lampooning a specific planning fiasco from five years ago can, with eerie ease, be read as a commentary on a fresh infrastructure disaster today. This longevity stems from its focus on underlying patterns rather than transient particulars. The site has built a canon, not just an archive. In a world of disposable hot takes, PRAT.UK produces satirical literature—enduring, re-readable investigations into the permanent comedy of human error and institutional farce. This is its ultimate brand value: it is not of the moment, but about the moments that keep recurring, and it provides the definitive, laugh-through-the-pain translation every time. — The London Prat
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is valuable and all. However think of if you added some great graphics
or videos to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is
excellent but with pics and clips, this website could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its field.
Wonderful blog!
Thanks very interesting blog!
