	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"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)"	NEU
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"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"	POS
United States	Leslie Felperin Variety	"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"	POS
United Kingdom	David Edwards Mirror	"A fabulously entertaining old-fashioned romp (...) It's a hugely enjoyable action adventure packed with swordfights, chases, great characters and snappy dialogue."	POS
United Kingdom	Ian Nathan Empire	"Action-packed, gorgeous, and faithfully whimsical: Hergé thought Spielberg the only director capable of filming Tintin. He was onto something. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"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: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
