You know when Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson team up, the result is gonna be good. However, I didn't think it would be THIS good! THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN is a motion capture adaptation of Georges Remi's classic comic strip, and it's terrific. The plot centers around the adventures of fearless young journalist Tintin (Jamie Bell) and his trusty dog, Snowy. The excitement begins immediately when Tintin buys an antique miniature replication of a boat and suddenly discovers that inside the replica lies the key to a centuries old mystery. After a few minutes, I forgot that I was watching an animated film. The characters are so engaging and the screenplay so smartly written. Spielberg directs with the same sense of Period fun that he lent to RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK a few decades ago. It's Family entertainment with enough edge and cliffhanging suspense that no matter what age a viewer is, there is much to enjoy. Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis, Toby Jones, and Cary Elwes also lend their talents. Although THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN loses nothing watching it at home, I regret not going to the Cinema to see it in 3D. Great fun!
