Critic Reviews

Roger Moore, McClatchy-Tribune News Service
The Adventures of Tintin can be a delight to look at, even if motion capture isn't your particular cup of animation tea.
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal
The action grows wearisome as it grinds on, and the film becomes a succession of dazzling set pieces devoid of simple feelings.
John Anderson, Newsday
A frenetic bonbon with an empty center, and a movie made without any perceivable audience outside of filmmakers besotted by their own innovative processes.
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
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.
Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail
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.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
The main achievement of Tintin is that at least the cartoon people and pets come across as characters and not hollow, humanoid entities.
Blake Howard, 2UE That Movie Show
Tin Tin is a visual feast; a wondrous exploration of the boundaries of computer animation and performance capture.
Catherine Bray, Film4
You don't need to be a fan of - or indeed have more than a passing acquaintance with - the original Tintin comics to enjoy this film.
Dave Bradley, SFX Magazine
There are so many nods to its source material that if you have no love of Hergé's creation from your childhood, its charm rapidly fades.
Chris Cabin, Slant Magazine
Spielbergian to the bone, The Adventures of Tintin utilizes revolutionary technology and animation for an ostensible nostalgia trip, which has little bearing on Paramount's exemplary transfer.
R. L. Shaffer, IGN DVD
A very entertaining, energetic film, highlighted by gravity-defying action set pieces. However, Tintin is also a bit emotionless, lacking character development.
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
If you can get over a certain lack of heart in the film's characters, you'll probably get caught up in the film's riotous action and often slapstick humor. (Blu-ray edition)
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
If the movie reminds you of an animated Indiana Jones adventure, don't be surprised.
Steven D. Greydanus, Decent Films Guide
Tintin's fantastic, charmingly naive little world is not well served by the epic quasi-realism of high-tech computer animation.
Robert Roten, Laramie Movie Scope
The best animated film of 2011.
Philip Martin, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
...more a virtual thrill ride than an old-fashioned action adventure. But while some of us will find the movie's frenetic pace exhausting, it seems that Spielberg is having fun.
Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
Finalmente temos de volta o Spielberg que tanta falta fez nos últimos anos, quando comandou mediocridades aborrecidas como O Terminal, Indiana Jones e o Reino da Caveira de Cristal e Cavalo de Guerra.
Linda Cook, KWQC-TV (Iowa)
With gorgeous animation and action typical of its director, Steven Spielberg brings a comic strip to the big screen - in 3-D, no less. 'Tintin' has a lot in common with 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and other fanciful Spielbergian adventures.
Richard Knight, Knight at the Movies
What begins as a bracing adventure yarn for kids of all ages descends into a charmless, increasingly chaotic last half that leaves you feeling pummeled rather than energized.
Brian Gibson, Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada)
Here, Tintin and pals are semi-cartoon characters careening through an unreal world. Instead of charming, intriguing, and exciting us, Spielberg and co. usually try to bowl us over.

A great adventure movie; better than the last Indiana Jones Crystal Skull effort. I like how they've combined three different Tintin books to make a somewhat new story. The characters are a bit bland, and the animation is a weird mix of realism and Tintin book styles. I was surprised Captain Haddock spoke with a Scottish accent. Overall, I liked it. I'm eagerly awaiting more Tintin adaptations done with the same group of people.

The motion-capture animation is some of the best I've ever seen. It manages to find the right balance between realism and cartoonish characterization. Andy Serkis serves a very enjoyable performance as Captain Haddock, even the Tintin's dog makes an impression. The film offers some good action set-peices that seem inspired and novel. Despite a few inspired action, this film comes off as little more than a retread of Spielberg's old adventure flicks. The main character Tintin is a boring protagonist, he is straight to the point that he is bland and uninteresting. Another major flaw is the humor, which tends to be more miss than hit. Kids will love this movie for sure but adults will only be reminded of Spielberg's older and better movies.

Tintin was always going to be a tough film to make. It's got a huge global fan-base, which I myself am a member, I grew up reading and loving all of the Tintin books and I have kept every single one in mint condition (next to my Asterix collection). So it was a relief to see that… More
Tintin was always going to be a tough film to make. It's got a huge global fan-base, which I myself am a member, I grew up reading and loving all of the Tintin books and I have kept every single one in mint condition (next to my Asterix collection). So it was a relief to see that it wasn't a complete mess but to be honest I am disappointed. The computer animation is very impressive and all, I just don't know if it suited the original animation style - it only felt right when the characters were in profile. I think it was all a little too heavy handed, not just the animation but the action too. The characters aren't exactly as I'd imagined them as a child either and why they couldn't have just stuck to one story is beyond me. It just didn't feel like the work of someone who was a particularly big Tintin fan, I know films have got to make money but I think Steven Spielberg is rapidly loosing his magic and getting lazy.

It may not be fair, but I was never expecting to like Steven Spielberg's first foray into animation, The Adventures of TinTin. It just looked so busy and I'm still on the fence when it comes to motion-capture technology. So imagine my surprise when I found myself not just enjoying the movie but also actively loving it. This rollicking adventure practically hums with energy and imagination. It's easy to get lost in its sweep. The action sequences, of which there are several, are terrific, breathlessly paced but showing great fair and imagination. It comes to the closest of any imposter to replicating the magic of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Give great credit to Spielberg but also his team of terrific Brit writers (Dr. Who's Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright, and the man behind attack the Block, Joe Cornish). The characters don't feel like soulless androids, the adventure is lively, the immersive visuals are gorgeous to behold, and the scale of some of these action set pieces is just massive, in particular a chase through a Moroccan city that is performed in one unblinking take (although does it matter when it's animated?). I felt transported while watching Tintin, back to a time of childhood awe and excitement. Some will find the movie wearisome and vacant, but I'm prone to shaking off my adult quibbles when a movie can make me feel like a kid again. Nate's Grade: A-

Itâ(TM)s clear that his concentration on this fabulous project outweighed his stability with WAR HORSE last December; he directed both films, which hit theaters only four days apart from one another. I wouldnâ(TM)t say TINTIN was flawless, but it was highly entertaining. There werenâ(TM)t many flaws that I did notice because I was so intrigued by the plot and so mesmerized by the beauty of this realistically animated motion capture piece. Maybe the only misstep that truly provided an impact on the film was the characters. The captain, especially, is annoying when heâ(TM)s drunk, and even more when he is sober. His fantasies and hallucinations are ridiculous and hard to follow. I must give him a bit of applause, though, for the scene in which he starts a fire on a boat and tries to use whiskey to extinguish it. The scene, as with at least 75% of the film, had me smiling and chuckling. That said, this isnâ(TM)t a must-see, but itâ(TM)s fresh and fun for all ages. Similar to Indy in more than a few ways.

Bored the crap out of me. The star is for the dog - the only interesting thing in this. I suspect this is a movie for boys (and much older boys who grew up with the comic version). Though the movie looks good visually, I found something a little off and creepy about the characters. The plot is also pretty week (admittedly I never read this, so maybe it's just following it's source). I am probably a bad person to review this as it is not the kind of movie I enjoy to start with. I like a movie with real people in it and I don't care which star does the voices - I could do that, doesn't take a lot of talent!

A great animated film with a sweeping spirit for adventure. The film has a stunning visual art to it that creates an amazing setting to each frame. Steven Spielberg really knows what he is doing when it comes to action/adventure films. It packs great nostalgia as it is truly reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark, one of my favorite movies. I really do not understand how this was snubbed by the Academy for best animated picture. This is truly my favorite animated film of 2011 and a definite Blu-ray buy.

"Indiana Jones: Childhood Years". Almost an exact carbon copy of the Indiana Jones series. Everything down to the pacing, flow, structure of the narrative, and even the comic relief are ripped straight from the Indiana Jones series. But one major differing downfall to "The Adventures of Tintin" is the surprisingly slim focus on character development. However, there's such dynamic emotions conveyed by the characters through the raw power of motion capture technology and the great acting ability, that it delivers enough heart into it's somewhat rite storyline. All in all, it isn't enough to taint the experience -- we're delivered one of the most ingeniously choreographed and wildly entertaining action set-pieces to grace any animated movie. This is quite possibly one of the most entertaining children's movies I've seen, all thanks to Spielberg's keen direction. Man, it's been a while Spielberg. After such a long hiatus from the director's chair (his last movie he's directed [that was actually good] was "Munich"), I was surprised how quickly I became familiar and found my niche with Spielberg's specific direction style. He hasn't lost his touch; in fact, "The Adventures of Tintin" more than proves that he's earned his reputation to be one of the most influential moviemakers of all time. The direction's top-notch; just when the hectic, frenetic action seems to overstay its want, the movie slows down. In other words, the pacing's pitch-perfect (except for the final scene). Every scene is a spectacle due to the crisp cinematography, realistic animation due to the mo-cap technology, and the phenomenal acting performances. This is, by far, the best looking animated movie ever. The most minute facial twitches are captured through mo-cap and the results are compelling. So when this same superb quality of animation translates into the action scenes, one can't help but to be overwhelmingly astonished by the results. Let me tell you straight up: These action scenes are so immaculately choreographed that it rivals all of the action-blockbusters that are coming out nowadays. It's THAT good. The action's in-your-face, but not rambunctious; the action's over-the-top, but not sloppy... The action's absolutely riveting. There's one particular scene that sure stole the entire movie for everyone: it's a one-shot epic action set-piece that draws out for at least 3 minutes of non-stop, insane, and ferociously entertaining action. By the end of this scene, I couldn't help but to give an applause. Through and through, "The Adventures of Tintin" is by far, one of the most entertaining films I've seen in a very long time. If the highest Hollywood blockbusters had a certain caliber to meet, "The Adventures of Tintin" would be it. There's a certain magic in all the action that many action movies fail to meet up to. In the end, this film convincingly helps us viewers remember the kid that once lived and wanted the MOST enjoyable movie of all time to come out again. Yeah, it's lacking a lot of heart and a thematic foundation, but this is one hell of a blockbuster.

A light-hearted, adventure-filled smash concerning a young journalist, Tintin (Jamie Bell) who becomes embroiled in events concerning lost treasure and how he has one of the pieces to the puzzle. The animation Spielberg and Jackson have put together here is simply stunning, as it is not hard to see the motion-capture technology they used to make the action sequences and characters more realistic. While it could have used possibly a little more backstory and development of Tintin's character, this thing is just good old-fashioned fun with a lot of Spielbergian chases and sequences that are wildly imaginative. It does have a heart to it all, which is nice to see because if not this thing could have come across as fun but unmemorable fluff. The voice actors are very good, and Spielberg does a fabulous job reaching a wide audience range.

Cast: Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook, Daniel Mays, Gad Elmaleh, Joe Starr, Kim Stengel, Sonja Fortag, Tony Curran, Jamie Bell Director: Steven Spielberg Summary: Blockbuster filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson team up for this 3-D motion capture adaptation of Georges Remi's classic comic strip, centered around the adventures of fearless young journalist Tintin (Jamie Bell) and his trusty dog, Snowy. Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis, Nick Frost, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook and Cary Elwes also lend their talents to this action-packed family adventure. My Thoughts: "A great adventure for the family to enjoy. My nephew absolutely loved this movie and was in hysterics throughout. He just loved Captain Haddock. He also enjoyed the clumsy Thompson twin policeman. It had the adventure essence of Indiana Jones. So if your looking for a fun entertaining film to watch with the kids, or if your a fan of the comic, I think you won't be disappointed with this movie. Spielberg did a fantastic job with this movie. See it if you get the chance."

Critics love it, We love it, just utterly superb, although that is what you would usually expect from the top-of-the-top-class director Steven Spielberg. the film's structure is strong and fits perfectly with the novels once known from HergÃ (C) .

"Adventures of Tintin" is kind of like a kiddy animated version of Indiana Jones. Tintin(Jamie Bell) is a young reporter always looking for a good story. When he comes across a model ship at a flea market he is thrust into an adventure that offers danger, action, excitement, and the possibility of treasure. The animation is amazing. I must say, this is one of the best animated movies I've seen as far as just looking at it, and all the details that went into it. This is Steven Spielberg's first animated movie, and he handled it just like his live action movies. However, the movie falls flat in a lot of ways. The characters are kind of lifeless. Tintin is a bore(his dog has more life than any other character in the movie), and no one else really kept my attention. The voice cast is ok, it's filled with mainly British actors. Which is fine, but it just didn't work for me. I'm sure young boys will like it, because it does have some great action scenes. But other than the way it looks, it doesn't really offer anything new for adults. If I watch this again, I'd like to see it in 3D, because I bet this looks amazing in 3D. If you have kids, give it a watch or let them watch alone. If you like adventure movies, you may like it a lot more than I did. Just keep expectations in check, Spielberg and Peter Jackson are known for making amazing movies. This just happens to not be one of them.

'The Adventures of TinTin' is a very solid adventure flick that carries a lot of Spielberg's original pizazz that can be found in films such as the Indian Jones series. The animation is practically flawless and realistic, and the action set pieces are astounding and brilliant. The voice acting is great as well, but the story is still childish and sometimes not intriguing enough for an adult audience. It's a small price to pay for such an enticing animated film.
Jason S

I really enjoyed the visuals of this flick. For once the technology really worked. The story was fun but the ending seemed rushed. This is a good start to a series but not the best for a stand alone film.

"The Adventures of Tintin" is filled to the brim with amazing action sequences and CGI wizardry, providing a visual adrenaline-boost not often seen in the realm of animation, or live action filmmaking. Spielberg is no stranger when it comes to adventure films, but "Tinitin" showcases some of the director's finest moments of excitement... and that's really saying something. But where the film falters is in it's narrative. It didn't draw me in and I wasn't invested in the mystery or the intricacies of the plot. The action and break-neck pace move the film in a grand way, but I didn't care about the outcome. But, did this lack of pull detract from the picture? A bit, but honestly I didn't have the time to care, because Spielberg continually seduces with the promise of a bigger and better set piece around the corner. He delivers, and the film is a memorable one because of it. I'd love to see a sequel happen at some point.

The most disappointing movie of last year (that I'm just now getting around to checking out) is Steven Spielberg's and Peter Jackson's pet project The Adventures of Tintin. I was really looking forward to seeing this, and the trailer made it look like it was going to be a blast, but sadly that's not the case. What baffles me about this film is that it doesn't explain its lead character at all. What's this young kid and his dog doing running around all over the world by themselves solving mysteries? I assume he's rich, but what's his backstory? I vaguely remember the cartoons from when I was a kid and I've never read any of the original books, so I don't know squat about his character, and I'm assuming most of the world doesn't either. Especially since this is a character that has NEVER had a big screen adaptation, so why they chose to ditch any story mechanics or characterization as well as a bit of origin is beyond me. The film is ALL plot, like the original books, I'm sure. Unfortunately, it doesn't work, and the whole thing feels uneven because of it. There's some amazing animation and some great action sequences, but that's all there is to it. I liked the credit sequence a lot too, I guess. I'm just disappointed that this much talent never took the time to find a reason to care. The boredom sets in without it, so hopefully the inevitable sequel can improve on things.

I'll take Motion Capture for the win. As if an adventure monster had vomited all over the screen, "The Adventures of Tintin" is a non-stop adventure film adaptation from a beloved European adventurous comic series. But while it holds that Spielberg-ish Indiana Jones archetype and an all-star cast of voices (including the likes of Daniel Craig, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg and Toby Jones) it does get to a point where if you are not invested in the (over-excitable) Tintin character, then you simply won't care about the story itself (visuals aside). Directed and co-produced by the aforementioned Steven Spielberg (Saving Private Ryan, Catch Me If You Can) and co-produced by visual genius Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King) using the highest caliber stop-motion animation (maybe ever seen), "The Adventures of Tintin" exhibits the partnership of two great directors, in conjunction with a quirky, yet (at times) only slightly entertaining interpretation of what European children's mysteries are all about. Ok, so maybe the reason why I am so lukewarm about this material isn't because it didn't look nice (because it does) or didn't contain an adventurous story (because it does that too); but speaking as an admitted novice to the beloved tales of Tintin, the adventure and the characters all were such that I really felt no attachment to anything on-screen as the million dollar climax approached. In this reviewer's opinion, "The Adventures of Tintin", while visually stunning, may leave many American audiences with a storyline which they may inevitably become bored with. The story follows an all-too-nosy boy named Tintin, who is (from the visual exposition) a part time reporter, part time amateur sleuth and part time ambiguous teenage nuisance. Within the first two seconds of the film he becomes involved in a storyline centering around an obnoxiously alcoholic Sea-Captain, the sinister Mr. Sakharine (the bad guy) and their quest for a model ship, which is thought to lead to three sought after scrolls, which could lead to some sought after treasure. From there Tintin's adventure sends him and the Captain all over the world, as we soon find out that this young boy's thirst for adventure is only rivaled by the Captain's thirst for alcohol. With action sequences of a fairly high caliber and some of the most illustrious, wide scoping CGI generated landscapes, there is no question that Spielberg knows how to direct the hell out of a film; no matter what genre. Where this film falls apart though is with the actual story and its connection, or lack thereof, with audiences. Spielberg and Jackson assume that everyone going to see a movie about Tintin is familiar, if not a huge fan of the comic series; big mistake. The fact is, "The Adventures of Tintin" contains almost no back-story and simply hurls the audiences right into a mystery with no real rhyme or reason. And while this may work for the devoted followers of the comic series, for the rest of us, it may feel as if we came into this movie midpoint, thus losing many novice supporters right away. This leads me to the character development. The characters, do tend to get rather annoying, especially because with little set-up it is hard to build connections with any of them. In fact the only character I cared about was the dog, who constantly held a Disney-esque animal lovability throughout. As for Tintin, audiences will either love or hate his personality almost immediately, and the Captain, brilliantly performed by Andy Serkis (or as I like to call him, the future of Hollywood) is a character so dumb and buffoonish that he is, for the most part, unlikable. Long story short, "The Adventures of Tintin" is not a movie one walks into disinterested in the Tintincharacter and walks out interested in Tintin's plight. Final Thought: "The Adventures of Tintin" may not hold the funniest storyline (with tons of Euro humor), but is clearly, on a purely technical level, one of the best animated films of the year (even though some critics will whine about their love for the forgettable "Rango"). Why this movie was snubbed from an Academy Awards nomination for Best Animated Film, may serve to be the biggest snub of the season. In saying that, on a purely entertainment level, allow me to reiterate that "The Adventures of Tintin" is just ok. And if me saying that has angered you to the point that you decide to leave me a drawn-out comment on how I am just a stupid American or about how you loved reading the Tintin comics as a child, thus if I would have read them then I would have understood the film better, I will have to stop you there because I am only here to review the content of the film itself, not the comic.
