I returned to
The Adventures of Tintin: Secret of the Unicorn with trepidation, having raved about it in this blog on first encounter. What if I had been wrong and Spielberg had betrayed a childhood favourite?
Fears were misplaced - this is a cracking and joyously hectic piece of cinema. I have only seen it in 2D but can imagine that 3D (a gimmick of which in general I do not approve) adds to the fun.
Herge's Tintin was plainly drawn and a full-on live action rendition would have lost the cartoonish innocence. Spielberg keeps the faith with his motion capture animation. And the film does not overstay its welcome, coming in at a civilised 90+ minutes. 7.5/10.
