:D I know. I love Spielberg films but I just feel that Jackson is more suited for this. I guess time will tell. I just recently watched King Kong and while it was way too long and had some really bad actor choices it showed PJ has knack for adventure films. Not to mention Lord of the Rings films that were rather epic.

Are you going to sit there and tell me that King Kong is better than, say, Raiders of the Lost Ark? Fellowship of the Ring I might give you. If I'm feeling very generous.
 
Spielberg has been more consistently good than Jackson. I think Spielberg did a fucking great job on this movie, but was let down by the script.

P.S. Williams score was a let down too. Basically felt like Catch me if you can 2.0 and lacked a strong leitmotif.

Odd, considering it was written by the holy trinity of British writers. Well, written by Moffat and then rewritten by Wright and Cornish.
 
Loved it. But the whole time I was thinking how awesome this could've been if it was a live-action film.

No, I'm not saying that.
Last Crusade is best adventure film ever made, Lost Arc second best and King Kong isn't even in top ten. If we look last decade Lord of the ring series is better then anything Spielberg has directed. When it comes genre of adventure we have only King Kong vs. Crystal Kull and I would say King Kong wins.

Edit. Munich and Minority Report are strong contestors against LotR. I probably should watch them all again so I could rank them.

I disagree. The stylized action/cinematography feels far more authentic with this cg hybrid than live action.

I love the direction they went in. They just need a more involving script which is less about set pieces and more about the characters and the world and we have a killer sequel.

I had great expectations too since Moffat's stuff in Dr.Who is brilliant and was expecting his off-the-wall scenarios that come full circle in the end. Sadly, everything felt terribly predictable. Granted they were adapting from the source material rather than writing something from scratch.
 
They're showing the movie over here X3
Will watch it with my friend or go watch it with some family members on 2nd day of Eid or whenabouts.
Alright time to read those books!

WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN
 
I just checked to see if it was doing well here in France, and sure enough, it sold 3 158 313 tickets in its first week, which is better than Return of the King (2 935 984) or Avatar (2 648 596). Not sure what kind of legs it'll have though.
 
I managed to see it today, what a great film! Very Indy-ish which is always a good thing.

Visually it was absolutely fantastic, but I was still irked a bit by the facial animation, especially on Tintin.

Loved every moment of it however.

It is being considered, but it hasn't qualified.

The Academy can still say it doesn't meet the requirements of the category. :)

Lol gotcha!

Yeah. On my phone traveling and just pasted, heh! God, wish I was seeing this thing soon.

No I didn't.

Anyway going to see it for second time today since I got free ticket. Hopefully it's better on second view ;)
 
Saw it. Loved it. Mostly. I mean it wasn't a perfect movie but I can't really imagine how you could realistically do a Tintin movie any better really.

Was very impressed with the CG.

Goosebumps when
Red Rackham enters the scene....
 
Watched it this past monday.

Will watch again!

Only thing that was slightly off was the change of tone. There's always comedy throughout the movie but it takes itself a bit more seriously at the beginning. Halfway through the movie, it loses all seriousness to favor the action scenes. Which isn't a bad thing, since the action scenes are AWESOME and Tintin has always been about crazy adventures.

Spoiler tagged it just in case.
 
I've never been so disappointed after seeing a movie. I fell asleep twice during it. The action scenes were just waaaay to long. The movie felt like about 7-8 segments of Tintin and Haddock jumping around avoiding bad guys and Haddock trying to get drunk.

I've never seen a more beautiful CGI movie though.

5/10.

Edit: Also 3D fucking sucks! Adds nothing to the movies and makes shit blurry.
 
Just saw it tonight and I have to say the movie was gorgeous. Lots of fun and action, and that scene
where they chase the scrolls in Morocco
was amazing.

I cannot wait till video game graphics are at this level. I struggle to even imagine it.

my bad I misread your post, glad to see you recognize the sense of adventure in King Kong. If they edited that film a bit it could have been an amazing adventure flick. Arriving at skull island and then that sacrifice at night was really awesome, reminded me of Temple of Doom aka true pulp
 
Went to see it, 3D.

POSITIVES

- Looks amazing
- Some of the action is very well directed
- Hadock rocks
- Best 3D yet, so seamless, so natural

Negatives

- Tintin almost feels out of place
- Movie is boring as shit, I don't know if it was the room temperature but I was falling asleep
- Really not that epic at all

I was a bit underwhelmed to be honest.

Saw this last night, and it just seemed like the pacing was way off in parts. There is a surprising amount of exposition and an awful lot of dialogue. Towards the end of the film the fight with the villain felt hollow, and I sort of wanted the film to be over by that point.
 
Saw the movie yesterday and was quite amazed how good it looked (even in 2D).
What bugged me was that they wanted to put in as much as possible. So, they cut at least three stories together, put in characters from other stories (e.g. Bianca Castafiore) and left some (e.g. Professor Calculus).

The intro and Herge-appearance nevertheless are worth the money alone.
 
Going to see this in a little bit, but I just realized the viewing I'm going to is the swedish dub..

So no Andy Serkis for me :/ Hopefully it's a good dub though so it doesn't bring the movie down too much.
 
I really enjoyed this movie, especially as a kid growing up with the Tintin comics. I'm glad Spielberg didn't add exposition to Tintin, as that would ruin it for me. Great movie with a lot of fun action.
 
I really enjoyed it as well. I was kind of surprised by how over the top the action scenes were in the latter half of the film.
The pirate battle was pretty great, but I felt the crane scene was a bit weird
. The intro was lovely and I also enjoyed the references to the other books.
Something that bugged me: in the beginning the market salesman ask for x quid, why not just use francs?

I think they localised it. In the German version he asks for another currency. Forgot which one. Hey, it's still a kids movie.
 
Just got back from it.

Really, really fun movie. Felt like it was much shorter than it actually was, the movie moves at such a fast pace. After the opening 10 or 20 minutes it's just a highly enjoyable rollercoaster to the end, an end that was one of the few things I didn't love.

Amazing CG, very funny, great action scenes.. not much to complain about. It lived up to expectations. I definitely want to see it again with the english voices.

Also I loved the transitions betweeen scenes and locales, they were sooo well done.
 
Just saw it yesterday with subs in the cinema with some friends, absolutly fantasic momie. This was my face in nearly all the parts of it :O
The scene with the two ships and the motorcycle one were just mindblowing.

Bothered by the calling Milu Snowy in english, but I really liked the british voices. Will probably watch it again in spanish. It was also fun to see how they translated Haddock typical phrases to english, as im accostumed to the spanish version in the comics. Tintin saying "Large Snakes!" made me laugh.

The character models are breathtaking, also the animation of the hair. I also love that it has cartoon humour all over the place, remid me of what they did with Mortadelo and Filemon here, although that was an very exagerated real live action movie.

Also me and a friend talked about how awesome is watching in a movie a relationship with a old "mad" man and a young boy doing adventures, and that it reminds us a lot of the other only movie with such a relationship. Back to the Future. Maybe is not a coincidence that the movie was produced by Steven Spielberg (and when he did that he already knew about tintin) and that the relationship of Haddock and Tintin is similar to Doc and Marty.

BTW the theaters were packed with long lines surrounding the buildings and the tickets were sold out every where when they released the movie last week in Spain, so at least here, the movie is doing very well. But thats probably beacause spain has always loved the european comics as Tintin, Asterix and Mortadelo y Filemon.
 
So they have this playing at the local German theater here and i'm wondering, Is it in english with German subtitles, or entirely a german dub?
REAAALLY want to see this with my son (he's been watching the cartoons nonstop for weeks now). Sucks having to wait another month and a half for the english version.

thanks

If its only one room where they do the movie or a small theater it will only be a german dub. If its a multi theater where you know they usually have dubbed and sub versions of movies and Tintin is in two or three rooms (for this movies one is asually in 3d and the other in 2d), one will probably be dubbed and the other english with subs.

It's an German theater that's mostly for the american community so they quite often play both version of films. That being said, only the german version was listed on their schedule, which leads me to believe it's probably a german dub.

The best thing to do if you dont really know is ask at the ticket booth if its not hassle going only for that. Hope you find a sub version!
 
The German Release is called Tim und Struppi - so if it's listed as that, it will be in German.

Also, check for if the listing says OV - this means it's the original version of the movie.

Yah, it's Tim und Struppi, so almost guarantee it's German dub. Oh well =/
 
How far are you from a big city? I know Frankfurt is definitely showing the OV - the chain here is Cinestar so maybe check their website to see if there is one near you?

Ouch! Nah, Frankfurt is like an hour and a half away
I'll look around for other places though
 
Well I just used Frankfurt as an example :P Most big cities should have at least one cinema showing the OV - try the website of your local chain.

Good luck! It's a really gorgeous movie - I've seen it twice already 8D
 
I saw it a few days ago, who would have thought a TinTin story would make a great movie huh?



I loved the animation, it wasn't all over the top with it's realistic approach, infact, seeing this makes me think that's pretty much how games are gonna look like in 5-10 years, instead of like Avatar.
 
Change in the release date for North America:


9th of December for the Province of Quebec (french version)

21th of December for the rest of Canada and the US
 
Just got back from watching it and I thought it was BRILLIANT. Pacing was rushed at first but it got better by the time Haddock started showing up and kicking ass. One thing that bothered me though was
Tintin's apparetment being ransacked when he got back from the manor. Was this to mislead him into thinking there are more people after the Unicorn?

Gotta say Serkis is one great voice actor, guy deserves an Oscar.
EDIT: Oh and was that Mr. T
during the opera song?

Didn't they go to his apartment to look for the scroll inside the model?
