REVIEW - The Adventures Of TinTin: The Secret Of The Unicorn



It took a long time for Spielberg to finally shoot this movie: it has become his fixation since a reviewer compared "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" to Hergè's comic, but, even if he could have shoot it in live action (due to his fast growing production-power in the last 20 years), he preferred to wait, looking for a suitable tecnology, the motion capture, and the right partner, and actually for this last one he found the rightest: Peter Jackson. If to these two giants, you add Edgar Write ("Hot Fuzz", "Shaun Of The Dead" and "Scott Pilgrim vs The World"), Steven Moffat ("Doctor Who" and BBC "Sherlock" writer) and Joe Cornish ("Attack The Block" director and writer with Wright of "Hot Fuzz"), 3 of the best rising writer in whole world, that write a Spielberg's screenplay which type of movie you could have? Easy: amazing. And actually the first chapter of TinTin Theatrical Version respect all the expectations, becoming one of the most beautiful BlockBuster of whole 2011, for various reason. First of all, it signs the return of Steve to one of his favourite and succesful genre, the adventure: the whole movie is a ride like it was the Indiana Jones movies, but this time, thanks to the mo-cap, Spielberg created a 107 minutes rollercoaster, where all the characters rides us to a series of pyrotechnical events, thanks also to the very well wrote story, thanks of course to the amazing trio. However, probabely the most beautiful thing of the movie is the Motion Capture level: literally amazing, the expressiveness of all the characters is to a higher level than "Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes", due of course to the level of the actors, from Jamie Bell, that plays TinTin, to Andy Serkis (Captain Haddock and his ancestor) passing through Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (playing Thomson and Thompson, the two funny cops) and the villain Daniel Craig, that is really in part (thanks to the Mo-Cap too).
In the end, we are in front of one of the most succesfull (not at US Box-Office unfortunately) adventures ever, and I hope, as most of all movie's audience, a sequel will be made, and actually it seems Peter Jackson after "Hobbit" movies will direct TinTin second chapter.. it will be true? 
Hope is last thing to die...


RESULT: 7.5/10
