How Much Money Did Tintin Buy The Unicorn For

1. What's with a proper noun like Tintin?
This is an blithe, operation-capture 3-D film based on The Adventures of Tintin, a serial of comic books created past Belgian artist Hergé (Georges Remi). The film is actually based on three of the original comic books: The Crab With the Gilt Claws (1941), The Secret of the Unicorn (1943) and Red Rackham's Treasure (1944).

2. What's the flick all about?
Having bought a model ship, the Unicorn, Tintin (Jamie Bong) is initially puzzled that the sinister Mr. Sakharine (Daniel Craig) should be so eager to buy information technology from him, resorting to murder and kidnapping Tintin – accompanied by his marvelous canis familiaris, Snowy – to join him and his gang as they sail to Morocco on an one-time cargo send. The model, in fact, contains a clue to a long-lost treasure. Sakharine has bribed the crew to revolt against the ship's principal, drunken Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis). Now, with aid from bumbling Interpol agents the Thompson Twins (Nick Frost and Simon Pegg), our boy hero, his dog and the captain must prevent Sakharine from discovering the ancient treasure's whereabouts.

3. Will I like information technology?
Yes! If you are reading this weblog, you will love this movie. As I stated on our world-famous GeekDads podcast, "This is what the latest Indiana Jones moving picture should have been." Information technology has activeness, intrigue, mystery and one-act. Not to mention that Tintin was directed by Steven Spielberg, produced by Peter Jackson and written by Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright and Joe Cornish.

4. Will my kids like it?
My vii-year-old son actually liked information technology. I must admit, I would probably not take children younger than that. At that place are a few loud scenes and surprises that will startle smaller children. (I wish the family unit that sat behind us would have read this before bringing their unabridged preschool daycare.)

5. When's the best time for a bathroom break?
There is a scene nearly halfway in where they observe out who the Nightingale is. As soon equally yous see that, head for the bath, then bustle back.

6. Is information technology worth seeing in 3-D?

I saw it in both for comparison. The 3-D is squeamish, only not necessary. Information technology adds nada extra to the experience.

7. It'south rated PG; how PG is it?
This is the most important factor in this review. Tintin is non an adult; however he does live lonely (with a domestic dog) and has a job. He also owns and uses a pistol several times throughout the movie. Plus, the companion who joins him in this adventure is an alcoholic. In fact, he can barely function correctly without his whiskey. Call back of him every bit the anti-Popeye. Explaining these things to younger children might prove hard – however, your mileage may vary. The other thing I noticed was that Tintin took a few blows to the caput. It is better than him being shot, but also needs to exist addressed with children. I did non like the idea that my 7-twelvemonth-erstwhile idea this would exist a good style to get his sister to "go to bed."

viii. Do I demand to get there in time to meet some expert trailers?
Nothing spectacular. The merely new one nosotros saw was for Madagascar three: Europe'southward About Wanted. I heard rumors that the Hobbit trailer was to be shown, but this did not happen.

9. Do I need to sit through the credits for a bonus scene at the end?
Nope, there is goose egg but credits.

x. Volition I desire to see it again?
I practice. I don't call back I "missed" anything in the starting time showing, but I would love to read some Tintin gamble comics and and then see it again. I remember fans of the comic series would beloved to run into this multiple times.
