Saw Tin Tin

[Perknose]

Production-wise, it was a technological tour de force. Motion capture rocks. It elevated what was otherwise a standard, somewhat cliched, Indiana Jones type adventure film into a pretty damn good movie.

Merry Christmas. :thumbsup:

was the animation as creepy as it looked in the trailer?

My son really wants to see this, I will probably take him this week. Good to hear its decent.

Not sure why they had to make this a CGI version though. Looks like a nice movie to watch with the family.

read the books when I was in school. Those books were always hidden somewhere in the back of the Libary with the Asterix books lol wonder why

Saw it today with my 7 year old in 3d. We both loved it.

Not at all, imho.

i don't think anyone other than library dwellers actually read those in the us.

i remember reading some as a kid...funny thing is like asterix, i remember no plot lines from them at all...

anyone that faults tin-tin is the scourge of our society and should be eliminated from it.

I love Tintin from the books that I read when I was a little child. Will make a trip to the theather or get the DVD for sure.

That kid is everywhere in Belgium (at least in Brussels).

i really enjoyed this movie. It was a very entertaining and enjoyable movie. I really hope they make more. When the movie ended, I was thinking, "wait, that's it?! MOAR!! continue!!!"

 

[Aharami]

that's good to hear. I've been waiting to see it for a long time

 

[z0mb13]

Watched it and loved it.

Definitely one of the top 10 movies in 2011

 

[pontifex]

I want to see it but probably won't until it's released on blu-ray

 

[bfdd]

I want to see this movie.

Took my son, 9 year old, to see it in 3D. We both really enjoyed it, very Indiana Jones style, but I have no problem with that.

It definitely enabled a lot of fairly cool, over-the-top action sequences, not to mention that it allowed for all the LOL faces on the characters that will have you endlessly giggling and guffawing in your seat.

I think the choices they made in how to employ the CGI in this movie were deft unto brilliant.

I think I only saw the show when it was on Nick. Is not seeing it in 3D a dealbreaker?

Read the comics...it's Indiana Jones that copied much from Tin-Tin....not the other way around.

I wish they'd make a movie version of the book where he goes to Africa. I always get a kick out of reading that book and contrasting it with the overly PC society we live in today.

Watched it last night. It was entertaining. Loved the books as a kid.

Would I like it if I was never exposed to Tin Tin stuff? (Didn't grow up in US)

 

[dmoney1980]

Saw it with the wife last night in 3d, was very entertaining. Crazy how the villian is a spitting image of spielberg

I did. I knew about Tin Tin but had never read the comics themselves. I think the movie stands on its own quite well . . . just mho.
