While I haven't liked all the films he's produced in this time, I think this demonstrates that Spielberg is still on top of his game, able to craft a visually compelling sequence of events.<br /><br />Maybe I just was too won over by how great it all ran together, but I thought this was surprisingly fantastic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741847941083055388.post-67357731756224675042012-06-24T14:14:30.207-05:002012-06-24T14:14:30.207-05:00Simon - I sense I will rewatch it for exactly that...Simon - I sense I will rewatch it for exactly that reason. For whatever reason, it didn't engage my inner child. Since I loved Tintin growing up, I'm surprised. Still don't think I'll like the drunk as a main character.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06679283194534387443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741847941083055388.post-52897377257352840402012-06-24T14:04:21.195-05:002012-06-24T14:04:21.195-05:00Slander!

I have watched the film at least 5 times now and certain sequences play so well - snowy chasing after tintin to the docks, the chase in bagghar, etc. These are brilliant sequences! The dullness I didn't pick up - but I worry that (a) it may be your MTV sensibilities (he he) and (b) that once you know the story, and therefore the pace, you can get swept up in it more. A rewatch perhaps...?simoncolumbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027922399726786918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2741847941083055388.post-91013896252984833462012-06-21T17:26:01.880-05:002012-06-21T17:26:01.880-05:00I was surprised how much I really enjoyed the visu...I was surprised how much I really enjoyed the visual. I just wanted the dialogue if not the story to live up to it. I needed one more sympathetic character or something.

The overall story was dull and then was filled with random slapstick, goofball moments. And then the action got way too ridiculous (the battling cranes sequence, anyone?).Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08092564511948736386noreply@blogger.com
