8. The Adventures of Tintin
People need to spend more time talking about this movie.
It's a Steven Spielberg movie involving Edgar Wright, Andy Serkis, Simon Pegg, Nick Frost, Peter Jackson, and Kathleen Kennedy. That's my mother****ing Justice League. The movie itself is the only good-looking one of those the whole thing is mo-capped movies that used to be a big deal. And it looks phenomenal. Some of the shots and transitions are simply breathtaking. And that one-er is so magical that it feels like you're on a theme park ride.
It's also incredibly funny. My favorite running gag is how Snowy solves pretty much everything, and Tintin is completely oblivious. He's a good boy. But don't let the presence of a dog fool you; this one occasionally gets hardcore. There's some super violent stuff in there that's a little shocking if you aren't ready for it. Tintin is an adventure hero, and he’s not afraid to pull a gun on his enemies. It feels oddly timeless, and that's really cool.
How It Compares to the Comic: I’ve read a little bit of Tintin, but none of the volumes that were adapted into this movie specifically. But from what I have read, it appears that they updated it for the modern day and removed some of the casual racism that was commonplace for the time they were published.
A great adaptation by some phenomenal filmmakers, this one is an easy one to recommend at a"¦
