For Tintin fans this was awesometacular. Seamlessly merged different parts of the comics into one story. Epic. Only downside is that weird ass plane part where Haddock burps into it and the plane restarts. WTF?!!
Colton Robertson that happened in the book, except it showed the part where tintin made the pilot fix the engine at gunpoint. I’m assuming they just didn’t have time to add that in for the film
Tintin is originally a comic! that's why the humour was like that, tintin is a legend! i watched all the animated cartoons as a child, tintin is awesome^^
@@satyajitlall0606 I've been read the comics and watching the cartoon maybe in hundred times now. The story are easily enjoyable and never get bored. Or that's how classic comics from there has a style like that. Like Asterix.
From a fan of both the books and the feature length cartoons and the 20 minute animated series THIS was everything I wanted from the movie. The gripe about slap stick is so much part of the books. Thompson and Thomson are pure slap stick.
See i don't know how you can say that. They merge two Tintin stories that have nothing to do with eachother, they change alot of the charcters. I mean since when was Sakarine a rackham or a villian for that matter. But my biggest problem is they turned Tintin into Indiana Jones, and since when was Tintin Indiana Jones. I hated this movie.
Director: Steven Spielberg Producer: Peter Jackson Writer: Edgar Wright "WHAT'S NOT TO FUCKING LOVE?" P.S. I've always been a fan of the comics, so this movie meant a lot to me.
Tintin was originally a comic book series from Belgium, and is probably one of the most successful comic series' of all time. It was well known for its slapstick humor, but also its hilarious satire of problems at the time. It never sold very well in the US, because here we had our own flavor of comics/graphic novels, like Superman, Batman, Spiderman... But I recommend that you read them, Jeremy. Chances are that you'll like them.
I have just seen today that there is a second movie coming out called "The Adventures of Tintin: Prisoners of the Sun" on December 16, 2016. I hope this is true and not just a rumor!!!
+BoosterGoose I wish it was true too, but if it was going to come out this year they would be filming or be done filming by now, and I feel like we would have heard more about it if that was the case. Keeping my fingers crossed that they'll do it one day, though. On the plus-side, with the CGI it doesn't matter if the actors get a bit older!
I think the main reasons they haven't made a second one is that it didn't make enough money and/or buzz in USA. Tintin just isn't a household name over there like he is here in Europe. You can tell by the reviews, a lot of critics are like "what's this Indiana Jones-light-thing that's Spielberg is doing?" I'm going to go out on a limb and say that there are more Europeans who know who Tintin is than who knows who Spielberg is.
That's true. Tintin is actually very well known in Quebec as well. However, outside of there, not a lot of people here in North America know about him, unfortunately. Considering it's a Hollywood movie who's main audience is not even American is definitely not a good sign for getting a sequel, either. I'd very much like to see the sequel happen, Professor Tournesol/Calculus would be amazing to see on screen.
@gheith001 I believe they're saying the movie is like Uncharted. Not the Comic. Now you could argue that the movie is like the comic thus they are saying the comic is like Uncharted, but I for one was speaking of the awesome motion action sequences of the movie.
This movie is directed by Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson, AND written by Edgar Wright and Steven Moffat at his prime during when Doctor Who and Sherlock was good, ALONG WITH ANDY SERKIS BEING INVOLVED! NO WONDER I LOVE THIS SHIT!
Kung Fu Panda 2. And while I loved Tintin I can see how Panda beat it. I mean it's got lots of heart. Course Tintin is still closest to Uncharted/Indiana Jones.
Watched this movie for the first time the other night and was blown away. Can’t stop thinking about it. Your ten year old review popped up in my recommendations because of it🔥
The first Indiana Jones movie was the best. It set the gold standard for all other treasure hunting movies that would follow. I do not know how many times I have watched scenes in other movies that have paid homage to Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Ronaldom ArvindMadrid and at the begining to, (the person who painted Tintin) but they should have put his name above the title. like they did in the animated series.
I know you won't read this anymore but the way they made the comedy was to respect the comics. This was one of the best movies I've watched and since I'm a huge Tintin fan, I can only say "MAKE ANOTHER GODDAM MOVIE!".
"Spielberg and Jackson: Winning combination" Don't forget Your-favourite-comedies-in-the-past-decade's Edgar Wright and one of the most imaginative storytellers of all time, Steven Moffat. Oh, and Joe Cornish. Love that guy aswell. The crew for this film is THE Hollywood Dream Team.
1. Indiana Jones 4 is, like Star Wars prequels and sequels, a good movie. 2. It’s better than Indiana Jones 2. 3. Spielberg discovered Tintin thanks to a French review who compared Indiana Jones 1 to Tintin.
@@starwarsprequelsandsequels7582 i don't know this was 4 years ago maybe I should rewatch it. But I really like Indy 2 so I don't think it will top that
If you're a fan of the comic, this movie is incredible!! if you haven't read it, its just okay. As a lifetime fan, it blew me away, i was fangasming the whole way through
He had actually never heard of Tintin. He was skimming through a French review for Raiders of the Lost Ark and kept seeing the word "Tintin" and he had no idea what it was. He looked into it and at one point talked to Herge, but it took him a while to get the film made.
Indiana Jones came out (PHRASING) Speilberg's and Lucas' desire to do a Bond film, but they couldn't get the rights. As the story goes, Lucas said to Speilberg "I've got something better!". And the rest is history.
This movie is probably one of my favorite movies of all time. i have been a big fan of tintin since it first got popular in my school, and when i heard they were making a movie, and it was being made by the gods of cinema, man i was pumped :D best part about it? IT LIVED UP TO ITS HYPE! IT DELIVERED EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!
I enjoy coming back to old, legendary films that are/were underrated just to read comments. Also, Jeremy, it's 2023 and Attack on Titan is going to end and you need to watch the series and review it ser. You deserve to see excellent writing, and after seeing you review RRR last year, I'd love to see you branch into other excellent foreign stuff.
The film was fun but it was one convenient plot point to another. Tintin was always there at the right time to hear important information relevant to his adventure. Still great fun. Solid 7/10
5 years taker, still love the shit out of this movie, back then I was a 9 year old obsessed with the sea and the age of sail, the pirate battle was pretty much a wet dream for me...
Spielberg and Jackson actually worked together closely for this and apparently to even out the score the next one will be opposite with Peter directing and Steven producing. That's what I heard.
When I watched this movie I did as well, especially uncharted 3, mostly because there are many similar elements. A old mansion, crashed plane in a desert, treasure hunting and others.
good to know cause i remember tin tin even back when it was a cartoon, didn't get to see much of it so yeah hearing that this one is good gives me hopes to see it. thanks.
Originally, it is not just a cartoon, it is a French (or to be precise, Belgian) series of comic albums first published in the 1930's. Also, this film has been written by Steven Moffat, which makes it even better :D
i just loved this. and all the little references were great. brought me back to my childhood (i know im a bit too young at 13 to remember all these, but hey, we had the box set). i loved the intro as well, where it was like all of the comics in 5 mins, and i like how herge was in it too.
I really liked this movie, the icing on the cake for me was how I could actually see Andy Serkis and his movements (not only voice) come through Captain Haddock.
About the slapstick, you got to give it some slack, it's from like the 30's or something. I've been a TinTin fan since the TV show back in the 80's. So I'm glad to here they've done a good job. Favorite tresure hunt movie, The Goonies.
yeah wasnt really that impressive... but it was awesome anyway.. seeing a CGI movie based on my favourite childhood cartoons something I'd pay for... I'd love to see a sequel...
I've read ALL of the Tintin comics when I was a kid, and a lot of the humour actually came from The Secret of the Unicorn and Crab with the Golden Claws (The books it was based off of). This movie was FUCKING GREAT.
"Sometimes it's like a cartoon" Yeah don't know if you've realised Jeremy but it WAS a cartoon and a comic beforehand. When I saw those slapstick moments I took it as the director wanting to let the people who watched it as a kid (my dad for example) that they weren't going to remove all the silliness out of it. I thought that yeah it would have been a good movie if it didn't have those moments; but it wouldn't have had as much depth if you knew about it beforehand.
Jeremy, the slapstick humor is actual scenes from the original 1950's comics. That's why they're in there, to please the die-hard fans. Just thought I'd let you know :D
I remember when Tin Tin was just a 2D cartoon. I was so young and now it's a blockbuster with Mr. Frost and Mr. Pegg as the Twins. *le sigh* I want my youth back.
I like how this movie uses motion-capture technology just like the Uncharted Games. If you ask me, the only way to make an Uncharted movie (which has been in the works for some time now) is through mo-cap technology. It'll be the only way to keep true to the uncharted universe, having the same voice actors and such, and not have to worry about realism. Plus it would take a lot of the pressure off those trying to figure out a cast and such.
actually jeremy... movies come out in usa like 3 weeks before they get here (Costa Rica), so I thank you because your reviews never spoil any of the fun I have a facebook group about casual movie lovers, but it's hard when everyone else has seen the movies and we haven't :P
I loved it!! I wish that it had a better response here in America, cause I would kill for a new one. They also don't have it on Hulu or Netflix, so I can't watch now. I really don't want to wait a week for it to get here buying it off amazon.
Tintin was a comic book series popular in mostly europe and asia. The slap-stick humour is taken right from the books and the directors wanted to stay as true to the books as they could.
@jeremyjahns It is kind of made like a cartoon, because it actually is a belgium comic book and they wanted to keep the kind of comicbook style throughout the movie. Good review!!
The slapstick is good because it is accurate to the source material. The comics had a lot of over the top slapstick. The crazy cause and effect is hilarious.
The thing is that tin tin was a cartoon and I like that the directors kept that spirit in this movie but because the movie looks so realising its sometimes easy to forget that it is a playful animation
When you showed that snippet from the trailer, the first thing that came to my mind was-- "Oh wow, it looks like Uncharted". Great minds think alike. ;)
I loved that film. It was pretty much everything that was great about the comics. Good fun time. But the biggest plot twist in the films and the comics was finding out that Tintin was an adult. I always thought he was 14 years of age. Turn's out he's an adult.
