For some reason we had to watch this movie in French class in 8th grade.Rating - How the hell is this movie rated PG? I was under the impression that graphic depictions of blood and violence weren't appropriate in children's movies. I'm not saying that kids movies can't have violence and/or stakes to the plot, but this movie gets pretty bloody. There are a lot of scenes in this movie with machine guns as well. There is a scene where an old man gets shot to death, then has to write out his final words in blood. Based on the overall content, this movie probably would've worked better as a life-action adults' film. All you would have to do is make the plot slightly more complex and it would've been better. Plot - The story is a simple, kinda predictable crime story. Its ok. Pretty entertaining, but the runtime is a bit long. Characters - The dog is the most intelligent character in this movie. The human characters are all really dumb. Animation - The animation in this movie is absolutely phenomenal. Scene Transitions - Almost every transition is the same thing - the camera zooms in on an object and it fades to a similar object somewhere else. One example of this is a boat in the ocean fading to a foot stepping in a puddle. I have nothing against this type of transition, but when almost every scene transition is the same thing it gets visually boring. I spent a lot of the movie complaining about this along with some of my classmates. Overall, this movie isn't as entertaining as it could be. It could've been a lot shorter, which would've made it less boring. The animation was great, but most of this movie is really dumb.

The movie is awesome.See it in theatre in vacation.Superb.Actually I watch the tintin cartoon in DVD and loved it.And thats why ask I was very eager to watch this and finally watch this in theater and loved it man.I have 2 more time in my mobile and 3 times on TV.The movie is nice.The story was good.Direction and screenplay was good.The acting was superb from tintin and captain haddock.The editing was good.The action seqences were good.The locations were awesome and adventurous.I was gone in my other world while watching the locations.I loved tintin and his pet dog.The last chase was very awesome and adventurous.Overall a must watch film for children and for grown ups too.I am sured they will love it.And my request to the director please make another part and this movie.

I am not a fan of Tintin, and I wish this movie was made using different characters.The action in this film is very similar to a 007 movie. Only, it has even more action, more stunts, more dynamics, and better settings. The action scenes are even more exaggerated than in a Bond movie which can be a little annoying at times.What is an achievement is the unique graphics. This looks like a landmark because the color rendition and the dynamic of the movements are not only realistic, but have a degree of representation that makes the whole picture look like truly enjoyable. It doesn't look like real life and it doesn't look like animation either. Rather, it looks like something in between, something new that finally makes an animation pleasant to watch, as opposed to all other animation movies to this day.The only downside - and a surprising one for a Spielberg movie - is the soundtrack. It just lets down the movie.On the other side, the action is brilliant, even by Spielberg standards. It simply doesn't stop without being overwhelming. The sets are beautiful and catchy.I hope there will be other animation movies using this animation technique.And while there, it will be nice to see Spielberg directing a James Bond movie
