The Adventures of Tin Tin, In 102 Words Exactly



Steven Spielberg plus Peter Jackson plus a decades old Belgian comic book character equals a pretty good recipe for high adventure.  Tin Tin has a very Indiana Jones vibe about it, unsurprisingly, and pretty much everything you'd want in an adventure story: secret maps, sea captains, sheiks, camels, shootouts, intrigue, narrow European streets, a sword fight with giant cranes.......everything.  Andy Serkis (LoTR's Gollum and King Kong) proves once again why he is the worlds greatest digital actor, as the pickled Captain Haddock.  The McGuffin turns out to be disappointingly predictable and the ending was a tad anti-climatic, but mostly a fun ride.
