    The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

    Reviewed by

    Highly anticipated film especially in the French speaking world. First, visually the film is amazing. The true to life reproduction of Hergé’s universe is without reproach. The original story taken from unrelated stories in the series is also very interesting. We were well warned and is easily accepted. We really get the impression of seeing a whole new adventure without knowing what will come next. What comes next, are characters that are underdeveloped. This is particularly true of the two main heroes, Tintin and Haddock. The exception here might be Snowy. We don’t find the essence of their personalities so well defined trough the 24 albums of the series. Where are all of Haddock’s unique expressions? This original story is full of totally impossible situations that the albums never reached, which unfolds at a frightening pace. Finally, I found the humour sparse and not really that funny. It’s obvious that the market aimed for are the young video game playing boys. If this film brings a whole new generation to Hergé’s universe, that would be a good thing. The film of the series is likely to be closer to the essence of Tintin, as Peter Jackson will be the director. He is admittedly a Tintin fan since his childhood. Spielberg came to Tintin in his late thirties, after being told of a vague resemblance to a well-known archeologist.
