We never go to the cinema, and since we were on vacation we decided to spend money just this once and did the IMAX 3D Tintin. I don't think the 3D really added much to the film (then again, I am not a big fan of 3D films anyway) but the IMAX was very nice. I don't know about the Tintin character, though. I never really thought "oh, that's Tintin" when I saw him, though they did really well with the other characters. I think it might be because they tried to make Tintin look very human, and he was a bit too skinny. And his eyes were too small. It's a shame, because I think they spend weeks and weeks trying to make Tintin look very genuine. However, the way Tintin moved was perfect. Quick, graceful, and competent-- even in the scenes on the ship where everyone is a shadow or a dimly lit figure, you could tell who was Tintin, and THAT is much more difficult to do. Great job there.
I will not deny I teared up at Haddock's "Don't ever think you're a failure" speech. I could really tell the people who made the film were die-hard fans, and I'm definitely seeing it again. Right after I see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, which has everyone I would ever want to see in a film together. I'm really glad they chose Tom Hardy to replace Michael Fassbender (OH, T-HARD. BE STILL, MY HEART), but what could this film have been if we'd had all those people AND Fassbender. Oh my god, the world is not ready. *faint*
