So i just saw this...

Not bad.

I mean yeah, they pretty much beat the stories together with a hammer and applied superglue until they fit together, but the end result was pretty watchable...

Allan's voice was all wrong though... needed to be more sinister...

SPOILER-ish:

And i would have preferred if they had kept the Bird brothers and had Rackham's descendant in as a 3rd player... they way they ended the film they could have kept him for the sequel, Moriarty style, easy...
Wait, how did you see it already?
 
The Technodrome's future monitors, of course... don't tell Shredder, he'd just try to use them against the turtles...

Over here they had early screening (or whatever you call it in english) once yesterday and once tonight in about 5 cinemas in town... and i got 2 tickets for the price of one because of a promotion from one of our mobile carriers... didn't known it worked for early screenings.

I assumed y'all had early screenings too...
 
Then i guess i'll go again next week with my friends...

Teh theatre wasn't full, but early screenings cost more, and my friends didn't want to come just because of that... and it was fuller then i expected.

Good thing i first read the comics from my aunt, so i had with who to go... never liked going alone to the cinema, and i really wanted to see it as soon as i could.

Let's hope it does well....

Oh, and i forgot to complain about them changing the treasure from actually being the pirates previous loot to being the Unicorn's secret cargo...
 
Saw that video and it made me want more... i hope Spielberg gets to Seven Crystal Balls and Picaros (though i'd settle for a 0Haddock included Broken Ear).

Last I heard, the plan for a second film was to base it on Seven Crystal Balls and Prisoners of the Sun.

Hmmm... the ending kinda implied we'd get Red Rackham's Treasure in some way... and i don't see how they can mix it with Crystal Balls/Prisoners.

Like I said, that was last I heard. Could be that Red Rackham's Treasure will be the main focus now instead. I could see going with either potentially, considering there's no Calculus in this current film. I do wonder what else they might pull from for that second film aside from Red Rackham's Treasure.
 
Thought I'd post this really well-done fan-made intro for The Avdentures of Tintin:



Apparently, it has caught Spielberg's eye and he's hired the guy who made this to work on one of his upcoming features.
Wow, that video was very nice! And it even ended with a reference from the last sketched panel from the last Tintin book Hergé was working in before he died!
 
I just got back from seeing Tintin. I was a little bit disappointed, but it was still pretty good. There are a few story flaws and the first portion of the film is a little weak, but once it gets going, it really gets going. There is a chase sequence that has to be seen to be believed.
 
Just for back from seeing it, myself. Personally, I dug it quite a bit. It was exactly the kind of globe-trotting fun adventure stuff that I love. I used to watch the cartoon when I was younger and from what I remember, they nailed all the main characters. Plus, the animation is gorgeous. I'd say it's worth seeing in theatres at least once.
 
Honestly, James, it's not much of an issue anymore. You should be able to find it on DVD and Blu-Ray.

Also, watched it over again and Tintin has become a favorite movie for me since my prior comments.
