Animation The Adventures of Tintin - Part 1

[obin_gam]

I read some French audiance reviews and my fear are confirmed :

- Tintin is on steroid, he is more Indiana Jones than Tintin
- the 3 stories melting is awfull

I will wait the DvD release to rent it.

1. No
2. No.

Sorry but that is the feeling of some of the French audiance and I am inclined to believe it.
About the 3 stories doesn't Tintin and Co find the treasure before the Licorne and Sakarine ( sp ? ) is Rakham descendant ?

 

[obin_gam]

haha okay okey. I'm a big Tintin fan and I thought he was exactly like in the books. anyway, as for your second question, (moderate spoilers ahead) even though they streamline the books plots abit in this, the story line up perfectly

Spoiler

in the end to where the book do aswell... lets just say there is a reason Prof. Calculus isnt in this film

 

[Monsieur Xavier]

Well, I guess it is a matter of sensitivity toward the character between American ( assuming you are ) and French.
I get over the thing you put in spoiler but the average reviews I read putted me off ( not sure if it is the proper expression ).

I'm swedish so I have a very firm relationship with Tintin, albeit mostly from the 90s tv-series and the cassette tapes more so than the books themselves. But I agree there is still a difference even between European countries when it comes to Tintin and I sort of see where those reviewers are coming from even though I dont agree with them. There are always complications and stuff you have to sacrifice when you're adapting books to film but I thought Spielberg handled it perfectly. My friend who never goes to the movies (last time he went was in 08 I believe) went along just because it was Tintin, and he loved it even more than I did.

You mean like Raiders did with Indiana Jones.

How many lucky moments did Jones get? This movie is ridiculed with Snowy being there for the rescue, Tintin getting a lucky shot, knowing how to fly easily and Haddock just burping gasoline lol. People coming to their rescue in the desert, etc etc.

The guy just keeps getting lucky and into these situations by luck.

I honestly don't think it's all that different. Hell, Jones did the same thing with the airplane in The Last Crusade. Yeah, Jones verbalized he didn't know how to fly, but he still managed great, and by the original comic and the trailer, I'm going to guess Tintin ended up crashing like Jones did. Actually, there are a lot more instances of Jones surviving by pure luck in The Last Crusade. Holy crap there are a lot of them in that movie. Don't even ask me how he managed to swim away from that exploding boat, or how he was able to pass himself off as a German soldier right in front of Hitler and who knows else. Or how his Dad was able to control birds to take down an airplane. But those moments WORK. Those are great moments, even if they are driven by pure luck. Shrug. Tintin has always survived on pure luck. Hell, if there hadn't been an eclipse in Prisoners of the Sun, he would have been dead.

Also, in Raiders, Indy was pretty much worthless to the plot itself. If he hadn't gone after the Ark, chances are it would have ended up in Berlin, and it would have destroyed the entire Nazi party. Just something to think about. Tintin basically comes from an era of characters who survive based on either a hitch or luck. Popeye without spinach would have been dead countless times. Tintin without Snowy would have been too.

I dunno, I just don't see your fault with the movie as an actual fault.

Saw this today. It was actually quite enjoyable, even with all the changes they made to the story (although I wonder can they do Crab with the Golden Claws now...)

This film was absolutely fantastic. I've seen it twice already. Andy Serkis is absolutely spot-on perfect as Haddock.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Whoa, Carmine!! Long time no see man.

10/10
everything worked. it was a perfect entertaining movie.

i dare to say that every surface in the movie looks 100% realistic. clothes,walls,grounds,cars,hair,water,sand,......

 

[Doctor Jones]

I saw a tv spot yesterday with him on the motorcycle in some market.

My God, I am ready for this.

The character designs should've been more cartoon-ish...Tintin just creeps me out.

if someone thinks he looks to real in the trailer and tv spot then i i think they should not watch the movie.

IMO there are no dead eyes or dead faces in the movie. but the less important the character is the less work they put on the face. TinTin who is the main character is the most detailed. there is not a single shot where his face looks weird. there are parts in the movie where TinTin shocks you because he looks 100% photorealistic and his face moves photorealistic.

I wonder if there's a Spielbergian element to the plot and style of this film. Let me know, please!

And if so, and if each director will give his film its own mark, how would Peter Jackson make the sequel Seven Crystal Balls?

Hopefully add his horror touch. Maybe that's why he picked it? That damn Inca mummy.

 

[Micromind]

Great movie. 9/10.

 

[Electrofarce]

Seriously cannot wait to see this! For me this year has been a bit of a bummer in terms of GOOD blockbusters, even though there was alot more then last year. The only one I thought was atleast sub-par was 'Super 8', I hope this is even better.

Oh my gosh, YES.

 

[ravn0s]

that incan mummy gave me nightmares when i was a kid

Anyone thinks this will be the "L.A. Noire" of animated films when it comes to groundbreaking Mocap? L.A. Noire did a terrific job of Mocap even on the faces in the game.

Who else grew up with the HBO toon as a kid? i did when i was 10 when it first aired on HBO and loved it as it was America's introduction to TinTin

Video Games are decades behind movies in the CG front. Games are still aspiring to look as good as Toy Story.
