Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn 3D

[thatguy]

Went with my son this afternoon. I really enjoyed it. The CG was really good. I was worried that making realistic figures from cartoon caricatures wouldn't work, but it did pretty well. Only a few 3-D let's poke things at the audience 8) . For the most part, the 3-D was successful. They kept to the original story as best as I can remember. There's lots of action. Things blow up. Sword fights and even a *SPOILER* crane fight! *SPOILER* . There was one chase scene with a cycle and sidecar that I think jumped the shark a bit. It reminded me of a similar scene in Indiana Jones 4. It's ok if you can suspend belief, but if you remember that your watching a live-action(ish) version of a comic book character, than you've already done that...

I'd recommend it, especially if you've read the books.
