My random thoughts

I remember reading the TinTin comic books when I was a kid and I enjoyed it.  I was curious as how they would treat the movie adaptation.  I must say I was very pleased with everything about the film including the CGI and voice acting. The movie kept me interested the whole time. The only thing that I thought ran a little long was the opening credits, but that’s because I couldn’t wait for the movie to start.

The adventure begins with TinTin buying a replica of a cargo ship (not your modern cargo ship, but more like those you see in movies such as Pirates of the Caribbean). After he buys it, a man named Sakharine tries to buy it from him, but TinTin refuses to sell it to him. Little did he know that when he bought the model, it would take him into a search for a hidden treasure from Europe to Africa. Along the way, he meets Captain Haddock who helps him in his quest for the treasure.

If you were a fan of the comic books, you will enjoy this. There will be a sequel and it will be directed by Peter Jackson.
