The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

I’ve watched this movie last week. I think it’s an interesting movie. I really recommended this movie. Many good things and interested things we could prove about it. Now, I’ll tell you a little bit of this movie.

At the beginning, we immediately showed the main person of this movie, Tintin. He is sitting for an artist’s portrait in the market square. He looks very same like in his cartoon. Suddenly, Tintin’s eye is caught by a junk stall and a model ship on display. This is the Unicorn – a sixteenth-century three-masted ship. The hunt for this treasure will send Tintin, his dog, Snowy and many others of supporting players on a voyage, across the oceans, deserts, everywhere.

This movie are directed by Steven Spielberg. According to Hergé’s idea of Tintin as a relatively passive, colourless hero surrounded by outlandish archetypes, Spielberg and a crack team of British comedy writers – Joe Cornish, Edgar Wright, Steven Moffat – fill the screen with wonderfully bizarre and memorable characters, chiefly the inimitable Captain Haddock, a floundering, whisky-breathed soak gloriousl. And while this means a few characters get overlooked – we never get a handle on Daniel Craig’s moustache-twirlingly villainous Sakharine, for instance – it does make for a notable absence of dull moments. And also not forget abous this twin cool and funny inspector, Thompson and Thomson. I like them very much, at the scene when they tryin’ to get that thief by trapped him by using his wallet that connected by a tail. Can’t stop laughing!

Visually, the film is astounding, as Spielberg takes full advantage of the freedom of his chosen medium. A mid-film flashback sequence, as Haddock recounts the sinking of the Unicorn, he must be  ranked as one of the good director, a dizzying mish-mash of impossible tracking shots, manic action and some of the most inventive scene transitions ever devised. The 3D effect for this movie is give another plus point for this movie and really pitied if you missed it.

So, while it may lack the depth and humanity of masterpieces like ‘Jaws’ and ‘ET’, ‘Tintin’ is without doubt the finest example of Spielberg’s family-friendly fun side. It’s also the most creative, enjoyable and invigorating blockbuster of the year. And has happy ending too.
