This movie is just slapstick gags, ridiculous script, moronic story line, and special effects. It is not fun to watch.
Clearly Peter Jackson and Steven Spielberg do not understand why "Tintin" is such a great comic series.
They have taken something brilliant and turned it into the idiotic trash that this movie is.
There is no real plot - they have grabbed bits and pieces of Tintin story lines from the entire comic series and spliced them together to create this "Frankensteins monster" of a mess.
None of the characters have any depth - The beauty of Herge's characters is entirely lost. Herge created real characters.
This feels like it was mashed together by a bunch of studio execs, who were lucky enough to get the movie rights for it, so they could capitalize on the loyalty of Tintin fans without doing any real work.
This movie lacks the wit, intelligence and humor of the comic.
The plot in this movie is largely meaningless. Its only purpose seems to be to provide a way for them to make another less than mediocre sequel.
The story line is one tangled mess. The direction is terrible. This feels like a high-budget gimmick. Even the ending is stupid - Its as if they painted themselves into a corner and could find no other way to end the movie, than have some kind of meaningless action sequence.
No Tintin comic has every had such a meaningless, stupid ending.
It feels like there was too much character, wit and culture in the original Tintin series for the director, producer and screenwriters to comprehend, so they decided to make something different. Clearly the writers did not think their storyline through.
The original characters developed over something like 30 comics, each with a deep detailed storyline with a start, middle, and end. This movie fails, because they are trying to take bits and pieces from too many stories and mash them together. The pieces don't fit. There are too many holes and pieces that do not fit well together. They have tried to hide this with special effects and ridiculous action sequences. Perhaps they could have succeeded if they tried to tell just one good story, instead of mashing too many together.
This movie lacks depth. Its as if writers of this movie tried drinking from a fire hose, drank more than they can handle.
This movie is nothing like Herge's world. The only thing good about the movie is the artwork and special effects. While the original succeeded because of great story, characters, humor, suspense and some action, this movie fails. Even if I wasn't a Tintin fan, I would still hate this movie, because even just as a movie by itself, it is nothing but special effects and ridiculous action sequences, without any decent storyline or real characters. This movie is like watching a blur.
