- Having bought a model ship, the Unicorn, for a pound off a market stall Tintin is initially puzzled that the sinister Mr. Sakharine should be so eager to buy it from him, resorting to murder and kidnapping Tintin - accompanied by his marvellous dog Snowy - to join him and his gang as they sail to Morocco on an old cargo ship. Sakharine has bribed the crew to revolt against the ship's master, drunken Captain Haddock, but Tintin, Snowy and Haddock escape, arriving in Morocco at the court of a sheikh, who also has a model of the Unicorn. Haddock tells Tintin that over three hundred years earlier his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock was forced to scuttle the original Unicorn when attacked by a piratical forebear of Sakharine but he managed to save his treasure and provide clues to its location in three separate scrolls, all of which were secreted in models of the Unicorn. Tintin and Sakharine have one each and the villain intends to use the glass-shattering top Cs of operatic soprano the Milanese Nightingale to secure the third. With aid from bumbling Interpol agents the Thompson Twins our boy hero, his dog and the captain must prevent Sakharine from obtaining all three scrolls to fulfil the prophesy that only the last of the Haddocks can discover the treasure's whereabouts.
- Intrepid reporter Tintin and Captain Haddock set off on a treasure hunt for a sunken ship commanded by Haddock's ancestor.
- Awesome movie!! Nice visual effects and great plot.
- "I am entirely confident that I shan't see a better film this year." That is what I said upon seeing J.J. Abrams' 'Super 8' earlier this year. Quite a claim, huh? But I have adequate justification for it: that was a film of genuine excitement, with such originality in its screenplay to give good, fun thrills, devoid of cheap gimmicky clichés, and an impressive debut for the child actors. It was a film I so thoroughly enjoyed that I went to see it twice! I have never, ever done that before with a movie so it was certainly a significant cinematic experience. It was so earth-shatteringly good that I labelled it the cinematic highlight of 2011, primarily due to its levels of excitement and enjoyment. I was so sure nothing would come close until last night. Sitting in my seat of the Apollo Theatre watching the latest offering from director Steven Spielberg, 'The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn', I wasn't so sure if my claim was all that accurate.<br/><br/>Adapting the 'Tintin' comics, the sensation created by Belgian artist Hergé, into a film was an excellent idea. The comics, so rich in witty humour, unique characters, and plot lines that unravelled themselves stylishly like movies of the film-noir genre, were universally popular with everyone! It all seems unaffected by age, even now. There is very rarely a dull line of events in these comics because they are almost always accompanied with either the foundations of a new sub-plot shadowed by the story's primary story, or a select snippet of physical humour or some witty line. These comics are a golden opportunity for international attraction; everyone knows of Tintin. <br/><br/>The premise of this film (based on the three Tintin adventures 'The Crab With The Golden Claws' (1941), 'The Secret Of The Unicorn' (1943) and 'Red Rackham's Treasure' (1944)) is simple enough: Tintin (played by Jamie Bell), walking around a crowded market, spots a beautiful model of a ship called "The Unicorn" and, admiring it, he buys it. An American (who later turns out to be an ill-fated FBI Agent), having failed to buy it off him, warns that he's entering a world of trouble with that ship, just as the film's villain, Ivan Ivanovitch Sakharine (voiced by Daniel Craig; a very appropriate choice for his dastardly and malicious, yet very suave, tone of voice) wants the ship, too. Later, Tintin discovers a secretly-hidden scroll inside it and discovers that three identical ships each contain scrolls that unlock the secret of the treasure of Red Rackham. Kidnapped by Sakharine's men and bundled onto the Karaboudjan, he meets the ship's Captain, Archibald Haddock (voiced with a Scottish accent by Andy Serkis). <br/><br/>The essence of the characters seems to have remained generally intact in this film. Yet it was somewhat lacking the ordinary amount of foolishness from the bumbling-but-adequate Police Inspectors Thomson and Thompson (with the perfectly-chosen voices of Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to voice them). I can't argue that pursuing a master pick-pocket and smashing into a lamp-post is not what can be expected, but these two are known for their (eventually) efficient and cunning police work, underlined constantly with their iconic word rearrangements! They are forever correcting each other incorrectly (such as "It's insanely perfect," one says, only to have to the other say, "To be precise, it's perfectly insane"). That isn't truly shown in this film. But on the whole, it's all there: Haddock's light-weight alcoholism and characteristically elaborate insults still remain (such as, "Miserable molecule of mildew!"), Tintin's thirst for adventure is forever unquenchable, Nester remains Haddock's extremely tolerant yet quietly patronising manservant in Marlinspike Hall, Thomson and Thompson still the clever twits of the story. Whether or not Tintin's constant narration of every thought that ran through his head was strictly necessary, or indeed accurate to the original character, is beyond me. It did wear a tad thin, I have to say! <br/><br/>Continuing the wonderful working relationship they've shared since 1974's 'The Sugarland Express', John Williams, who has written the music for all but two Spielberg-directed films ('Twilight Zone: The Movie' and 'The Colour Purple'), writes the music here. It is quite a strong element of the adventure, with Williams composing themes so distinguishable that you can guess what character is going to come up next. The Thom(p)sons have their own theme, Haddock has his own "drinking theme", arising whenever he craves some of his favourite 'Loch Lomond' whisky, and Tintin has his own "mystery-solving/ thinking theme". The body of the score is upbeat trumpets, superbly intricate riffs of the piano, and violin quivers in the more suspenseful moments. It's reflects the Tintin adventures to great approval. <br/><br/>I am so pleased to say that whatever childhood memories I had of the Tintin comics were presented rather loyally on this silver screen adaptation. Amongst all this, there is, however, a new memory I will be taking away with me: the CGI wizardry of the film. I found the concept of transferring one of history's greatest comic book characters to a computer-generated format peculiar, but I can say that it was the right decision. Not the most immediate idea, but one that works. <br/><br/>According to numerous Spielberg interviews I've read, every frame of the film took five hours to create using the CGI photorealism format. Again, minute features are accounted for: the fibres of a sailor's jacket, the scattered refractions of sunlight on a man's beard, the pores on Tintin's face – all there. As producer Peter Jackson put it, "They look exactly like real people – but real Herge people!" This film will doubtlessly be remembered as a digital-animation triumph of the decade, let alone just 2011.<br/><br/>'The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn' is more than a kiddies' movie endorsed to make a shedload of money. It is so much more than that. It may well be the new 'Super 8'.
- Tintin is exhausting, and, for all its wonders, it wears one out well before it's over.
- The Adventures of Tintin is an adaptation of the Belgian comic book series The Adventures of Tintin created by the Belgian artist Georges Rémi, who wrote under the pen name of Hergé. Specifically, it's based on three particular entries in the series: The Crab with the Golden Claws, The Secret of the Unicorn, and Red Rackham's Treasure. Steven Spielberg had planned on doing an adaptation of the Tintin series in the early 1980s, as both he and Hergé were fans of each others' work. After the death of Hergé, however, the project fell out of development until it was recently revived. The script was co-written by British screenwriters Steven Moffat, Edgar Wright, and Joe Cornish. Many had expected from the trailers that both parts of the treasure hunt tale, "The Secret of the Unicorn" and "Red Rackham's Treasure" respectively, would be covered in the film. Once the film was out, however, this quite obviously turned out to be false. "Red Rackham's Treasure" is not in this film and, since professor Calculus is first introduced in that half of the tale, he fittingly doesn't appear. It then stands to reason that he will make an appearance in a sequel, should there be one. The film is actually a combination of "Crab with the Golden Claws" and "The Secret of the Unicorn", especially since the film depicts Tintin and Haddock's first encounter. Possibly the only scene taken from "Red Rackham's Treasure" is the ending, when they do find the actual treasure in its location. The original Tintin comic series spanned the years 1929 to 1976. While most of the series has aged well, some of the earlier entries in the series (specifically Tintin in the Land of the Soviets, Tintin in the Congo and Tintin in America) might appear controversial to modern audiences, due to stereotyped portrayals of other cultures. However, these depictions were not supposed to be intentionally malicious, but were rather the result of the cultural values at the time of their creation. The Tintin comics actually became well known for their accurate and tolerant portrayals of other cultures. During the creation of the fifth comic in the series The Blue Lotus, Hergé met a Chinese man named Zhang Chongren with whom he became lifelong friends. Because of this friendship, Hergé decide that from then on, the creation of all the Tintin comics would involve meticulous research into creating accurate depictions of other cultures. No, there's nothing after the credits. In the beginning of the movie, a newspaper stating that Tintin uncovered a tribe of gangsters in Africa has the date Wednesday, January 29th, 1930. The book on which the movie is based places the story in 1943. Right after the agent is killed at Tintin's frontdoor, we see some Citroën 2CV's parked outside, and when Tintin looks at the bloodstained newspaper, we see it is dated December 12th, 1944, but the 2CV is produced between 1948 and 1990. When the detectives leave Tintin's place, you see a yellow Renault 4cv parked at the other side of the street. This car was first introduced at the 33rd Paris Motor Show on October 3rd, 1946.
