Yeah. But it's nearly a 2 hour movie.

They could have faithfully done the book in 40-50 minutes. Haddock's relationship with Tintin had to be assumed by the uninitiated.

The set-pieces would be the flashback in his flat, the mansion abduction.

They found a way to fit in to Spielberg's theme which centers around Haddock. The way he saw it. Perhaps why Steve didn't add the RR treasure, where Tintin attains more of ascendancy. The film ends with Tintin letting Haddock press the button. Staying true to 'only a Haddock' could do it. I found it interesting. It's very Spielbergian.

Superb analysis with in-depth details k_g.

Very interesting. Still have to wait another 1 month to watch it

Yesterday watched couple of episodes (on the site which I posted earlier), 'Cigars of the Pharaoh' and 'Tintin in America'. Throughly entertaining and have to appreciate Herge for bringing that edge-of-seat experience. Cigars of the Pharaoh can also be made into a good movie.

V_S,
Try to read the book. The animated series doesn't translate the magic fully.

Sure k_g. Thanks. I agree. Oru chinna sOmbErithanam thaan. Reading project for the weekend.

Also watched video mainly for my kids (as I don't have hard copy), story-telling time at night.

i agree...while an inner part of my heart did prefer a completely faithful adaptation of the comic i could still make out the logic behind the incorporated changes and the fact that its 'spielberg's tintin and not just based on the comic'.I found several places to be quite enjoyable...especially the plane sequence where haddock uses an already drunk alcohol to start the engine...an ingenious way of shedding some light on haddock the character......well the discussions also makes me compare another recreation of a book, HP: prisoner of the askaban which is regarded as the worst movie of the eight by the fans with the critics actually calling it the best in terms of cinematic viewing.

Prisoner is the best IMO. Who are those idiots?

^

whole bunch of my college mates think so.....in fact i would be the one to get castigated if i ever moot it as the best movie...
