Blistering barnacles

The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn (2011)

 Based on the famous comics of the same name this adptation from director Steven Spielberg stars the voice talent of Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis and Daniel Craig. A young reporter buys a model ship and ends up on the trail of lost treasure.

 Given all the writing, directing and producing talent involved in this film I found it to be a disappointment that lacks any real heart. At times it seems like you are watching someone else play a computer game switching between cut sequences for the story and mini games for the action sequences. There is also some depature from the souce material which I am rarely a fan of but despire all the underwhelming elements of the film it is still watchable if not as good as it should have been.

3/5
