I like Tintin a lot. I have a stupid amount of Tintin stuff from when I was a kid. I don't think it's a very good adaption of the source material and I don't think the characterisation was right for most of the characters.
Idk to me Tintin is an adventure with a weird European sense of humour. I felt like the movie failed at communicating that kind sense of adventure I felt from the comics and cartoons and it missed a lot of the humour imo.
The only jokes it doesn't really incoporate are Haddocks cursing and the weird inverse sentences of the Dupont/ds. (They make one of those jokes, but it was basically a verbal tic for the characters in the comics) Otherwise it pretty much nails it. Tintin is an overly serious character in a world thats slightly nutty. I mean most of his interactions with Haddock are 1:1 adaptations of lines from the comic, just from different issues.
Edit: Actually I don't think they ever do the "with a P as in psychology/Without a P like in Venezuela" gag either, but that one was always kinda lame.
I suppose you could argue it's more of an action movie than a travelogue the way early tintin is. But later Tintin loved itself some violent climaxes.
Hey, I'm glad you liked it. I've seen it multiple times and despite being a huge Tintin fan I would say it's one of the few films that I would honestly say I hate. And I've given it multiple chances but nope. Just doesn't work for me at all. There are very very very few things I even consider halfway decent in it. I want to like it. I really really want to like it. I just really, really don't.
I know a lot of people love it and are dying for a sequel and I genuinely wish I could have loved it the same. I was so excited for it. But it remains one of my most disappointing film memories. Like I own Tintin t shirts, jigsaws, action figures and plush toys. I don't own a copy of the film or any tie in toys/games/etc.
Its a perfecly fine movie, and if you expected more than that you have entirely overestimated Tintin.
