The Rin TinTin Escapades


Remember the times when you grabbed the first Rin Tintin comic in a bookshop or at your school or community library? How did you feel? Elated? Pregnant with hope that you will share a super adventure with the super sleuth adventurer, Tintin?


Just as many generations of us have enjoyed Rin Tintin, this Spielberg-Jackson outing on the screen was certainly satisfying from the visual graphics and sound.


Story-wise, it is a concoction of the subplots of a few Rin Tintin comics but the treatment of the subject was well done generally; though it could have been better control for more focus and story impact to bring out the characters of the captain, the villain, Thompson and Thompson and the other characters.


I love the bringing together of the sea, sand and air as the protagonists battle against all odds, much in tongue and cheek; and with Snowy to give the added ummph!


Do see this movie to bring back your childhood joys!
