Which non-indian film u saw recently has made u post here???

As I said, they bypass Red Rackham's treasure & cut short to hall. But in the end, Tintin reassures Haddock that they might find more in that island. Don't think they'd make it as another film. On outset, it might be a wild-goose chase, but it's much more than that. It's meant to be a journey where they put themselves in Sir Francis shoes. And Calculus would be able to trace the documents back to the Hall. Tintin would have been kidnapped in Red Unicorn & discovers the cellar then. But it's put to use in the next novel. The cyclical end & complexity of the journey is its specialty.

But here, it seems like they wanted to provide a payoff for the audience. And since they have this descendant rivalry. Sakharine vs Haddock as RR v/s Sir Francis Haddock. there's also a crane fight like a sword fight. The kind of thing that Herge would resist deeply. But it's just how Spielberg envisages I suppose. You need to take some distance from the exact specifics, but you could easily digest within confines of a Tintin Universe. Once again, Spielberg identifies with the more patriarchal figure, Haddock. So he gives that man a sense of purpose, "Only a Haddock" it's said.

Sid, Could you find out if they'd play Taxi Driver again?

Oh ok.

The scene in the book where Captain Haddock is narrating Sir. Francis's swordfight and takes a swig every now and then is
At one point Tintin completes his sentence "..and then Sir. Francis says now is not the time" and leads Captain back to veeram

Captain jumping in for Jamaican rum without wearing his headpiece and then clambeing on to the ship with "those bashi bazouks forgot to pump again"

Calculus hat flying as he sees the 'writing on the wall' : we are NOT interested in your machine

Captain: where is the whiskey?
Calculus: on the ship of course
Captain: thank heavens
Calculus: naturally it is in parts
*Captain shakes Calculus*

I thought stuff like that would be there

Here the Haddock living the swordfight happens in a different way. That's where they've derived setups from other books.

Calculus-Haddock is a lot of fun. But again, they've bypassed RR treasure. So whatever you expect from Unicorn, has been changed & merged with plotpoints & characters in other books.

In some ways, it's far more refined here. We don't have Haddock explaining major details to Tintin (like in the book), here he has to "earn" it. And their encounter in Karaboudjan (from Golden Claws) is fit in here seamlessly. Should work for you.

Snowy's chase (as Tintin's kidnapped) is a bit like A.Jolie in Salt. Brilliantly choreographed. Lot of fun.

It felt wise to get rid of BB and merge that to Sakharine too.

Snowy was super awesome in the movie

But i found captain explaining about his ancestors a little slow though..

He has his way with cats, dogs, cows, eagle & mice. If they had accounted for RR's treasure, maybe even parrots.
