On a mission that looks exciting to young journalist Tantan and his snowman, risking each to search for a sunken ship. Tantan begins his mission by preventing Sakharin from obtaining the three manuscripts. Tantan and his snowman are traveling on an exciting voyage on the high seas aboard an old cargo ship to search for Haddock's predecessor and attack Sakharin, who wants to buy the ship and kill or kidnap Tantan. Tantan's mission seems very difficult under the power of Sakharin, who wants to get the lost treasure.

Visually triumphant and chock-full of classic Spielberg-isms -- both good and bad.
December 22, 2011
A frenetic bonbon with an empty center, and a movie made without any perceivable audience outside of filmmakers besotted by their own innovative processes.

The Adventures of Tintin comes at you in a whoosh, like a volcano full of creative ideas in full eruption... It hits home for the kid in all of us who wants to bust out and run free.

There are so many variables moving so fast that it's a wonder Spielberg didn't have someone onboard from Princeton's department of Higher Math to help keep track. But his crack team here is enough.

Hergé was the pioneer of an even-handed style of cartooning with solid lines and no shading that became known as ligne claire, but there is a decided lack of clear lines in this erratic movie adaptation of his work.

By no means a masterpiece, the full-length computer-generated animated film nevertheless has freed Spielberg from the shackles of conventional filmmaking and physical limitations.

Arguably Spielberg's most out-and-out fun movie since Jurassic Park.

The movie is fun and colorful, but it doesn't have that creative explosion needed to bring Tintin to life.
April 12, 2013
Spielberg has made his first foray into computer-generated 3D animation. He proves a natural with the form, his (virtual) camerawork dizzying but fluid, and never confusing.

It's delirious stuff, often laugh-out-loud funny.

When everything is possible, nothing is amazing.
