The Adventures of Tintin is a film adaptation of the classic comic book series, however, instead of being traditionally animated, they went for a weird 3D photo-realistic style. This style is actually fairly alienating and removes a lot of the charm of the original designs. Ignoring this though, the film starts off strong, introducing the iconic characters such as Tintin, Snowy and Thompson and Thomson. It sets up a good mystery in which Tintin finds a detailed ship model, which holds a secret to a hidden treasure. The villain then comes into play and Tintin is unwillingly drawn into the scheme involving the history of Captain Haddock. The mystery manages to carry through most of its length with the exciting climax chase scene. It gets a bit over the top during that though but did make for a visually stunning and intense moment. Unfortunately, the ending feels anti-climactic and lazy, being uninteresting in comparison. Overall, The Adventurers of Tintin is an average film, you'll get more enjoyment if you are a fan of the comics though.
