When at the end of the movie Tintin asks Captain Haddock "How's your thirst for treasure", the captain replies "unquenchable".
This adventure brings us everything from a thousand thundering typhoons to great snakes, a well crafted, well acted edition of the Tintin franchise seemed like a perfect holiday movie.
A genius in himself took on the mighty task of bringing the beloved reporter to the silver screen Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson have been somewhat successful in reminding us of our childhood and the immense appeal of Tintin. With the new motion capture technology art and science are in perfect harmony and balance on display.
When Tintin buys the model of the Unicorn little does he know about the trouble that will befall him but with a story in sight he gets involved deeper into the Secret of the Unicorn with Captain Haddock beside him and Sakharine behind. Combined with chases across continents and thrills clearly mimicking Herge's vision the movie is perfectly crafted.
Jamie Bell is a good cast for Tintin but he would have been pointless if not for the theatrics of Andy Serkis as Captain Haddock and his white terrier Snowy. They infuse life and fun into this movie and make as laugh at the most unexpected moments. A small mention needs to be given to Simon Pegg and Nick Frost as the Interpol detectives Thomson & Thompson with a "p". They played off each other brilliantly just reaffirming their sparkling chemistry.
But even with such a movie it somehow made me wanting more when it was over I could only wish that maybe there was a bit more though praises need to be given for adherence to the comics I hope the next Tintin would satisfy my appetite as a fan. Till the next great adventure!!
