The movie we're reviewing now is TINTIN! Yay TINTIN! Track the schooljournal label for more posts like this.
Adventures of Tintin has some of the big names in the business attached. Like Steven Spielberg, Peter Jackson, Steve Moffat, and bunch of other people. Not to mention Andy Serkis, my favorite actor!
This post will contain different sections, since I feel like it! I'm also going to point out that the movie came out one month earlier than it did in America, I feel very lucky! :)
PLOT:
The movie combines the story of Crab with The Golden Claws, Secret of the Unicorn, and Red Rackham's Treasure. When they say combine, it really combines, as in really
combines! I read the comics before and after watching the movie (that may sound crazy but....). Some aspects of the comics were in the movie but some of them are not. I thought the story will be continuous but it's not.
VISUAL APPEARANCE:
The movie was really brought well to life using motion capture technology. The design of the characters were true to the comics, though I'm not used to look at Tintin that way, he looks spooky at times but he's not very bad-looking ;). Thomson and Thompson were really true to the comic design I love that! The movie looked very real and the movements were very smooth, at some point *cough" Thomson and Thompson scenes *cough* looked to fake. Snowy is also very cute! Thanks for WETA for making the animation (they're the ones who made Gollum and King Kong).
SEQUELS:
I don't mind any sequels, bring them to me, I want them!!!
Critics:
Rotten Tomatoes so far gave the movie 86%. Roger Ebert haven't given any reviews. I will update this post once their done!
The movie is great, if you don't like Tintin watch it for the art, it's amazing :)
BYE!!
