The Adventures of Tintin

Overall I was very happy with this, it was an entertaining and reasonably faithful Tintin movie. For me the style took some getting used to, I think it should have been either slightly more or slightly less realistic.

The main issue I had was with the character of Captain Haddock, who is portrayed as a victim lacking in confidence; a character trait that I would NEVER associate with Haddock. There seems to have been a preoccupation with over-explaining Haddock's drinking while trying to downplay it at the same time - hard to do considering that his alcoholism becomes essential to the plot.

I loved the fact that I couldn't tell Nick Frost from Simon Pegg - the detectives were spot on. Sorely missed in the search for Red Rackham's treasure: Professor Calculus and his shark-proof sub.
