When Tintin purchases a scale model of a ship called the Unicorn from a market, he makes an enemy of the mysterious Ivanovich Sakharine, who is desperate for the model himself. The young journalist's inquisitive nature son lands him in the middle of a race against time to discover the secret behind the Unicorn. Helped by the booze-swigging Captain Haddock and his helpful dog Snowy, can they beat Sakharine to the secret, or will the sinister villain solve the mystery first?
PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"A good ol' fashioned adventure flick that harkens back to the filmmaker's action-packed, tongue-in-cheek swashbucklers of the 1980s. (...) a visually dazzling adaptation" (Jordan Mintzer: The Hollywood Reporter) ----------------------------------------
"Steven Spielberg's ghostly Tintin is best left on the page. (...) while the big set pieces are often exuberantly handled, the human details are sorely wanting. (...) Rating: ** (out of five)" (Xan Brooks: The Guardian) ----------------------------------------
"Clearly rejuvenated by his collaboration with producer Peter Jackson, and blessed with a smart script and the best craftsmanship money can buy, Spielberg has fashioned a whiz-bang thrill ride that's largely faithful to the wholesome spirit of his source but still appealing to younger" (Leslie Felperin: Variety) ----------------------------------------
"Action-packed, gorgeous, and faithfully whimsical: Hergé thought Spielberg the only director capable of filming Tintin. He was onto something. (...) Rating: **** (out of five)" (Ian Nathan: Empire) ----------------------------------------
"A fabulously entertaining old-fashioned romp (...) It's a hugely enjoyable action adventure packed with swordfights, chases, great characters and snappy dialogue." (David Edwards: Daily Mirror) ----------------------------------------
"A volcano of creative ideas in full eruption (...) The Adventures of Tintin hits home for the kid in all of us who wants to bust out and run free (...) Rating: ***1/2 (out of four)"
(Peter Travers: Rolling Stone) ----------------------------------------
