Movie Review: The Adventures of Tintin

The Adventures of Tintin: Columbia/Paramount Pictures

"Intrepid reporter Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock's ancestor."

Based of the French cartoon and comic book series, the artist in me adored the animation in this film. I loved it! The basic premise was childish and not unlike the comics I used to read as a kid. The storyline was predictable, but then again, I don't know if they are taking actual strips and cartoons and turning them into movies... (yes, they are coming out with a second). 

Personal rating: 5/10

(on a personal personal level: 7/10... I loved the animation, and I love kids movies. I can't help it. :P)

Plot Summary

 This movie was recommended to me by a friend, and I have to say, I hold her opinion in the highest regards because of this movie. In the beginning I was a little confused on the roles and relationships that were revealing themselves, but overall, it was a fantastic movie. It jumped to the top of my favorite movies list after watching it once. 

Johnny Depp is a phenomenal actor, and this movie simply reinforces that opinion I have. He is bloody fantastic with whatever he does. 

Personal Rating: 9/10
