It is a delight to find the great little adventure seeker resurrected from the vaults of memory, this time as a three dimensional film, complete with his retinue of Haddock, Thompsons, Snowy. The backdrops of sea, desert and exotic lands are assembled with abandonment. Tintin, Haddock and the dog are the most convincingly human. The Thompsons are presented as charming marionettes. The character of Tintin has been assembled to add another dimension while preserving the earnest, upright and intrepid persona that we knew once upon a time. The pace of the film is somewhat hectic compared to the leisurely adventures of the comic series. A highly enjoyable film.

It's an enjoyable film though there are weaknesses here and there. But it is a good start for the next installments.
May he endure and evolve.
