I used to watch Tintin
cartoons when I was very young and though can’t remember much about them now, I
do remember enjoying them. I wish I could say the same for this film. I’d read
that the film was an adventure in the mould of Indiana Jones but I found the plot incredibly dull and predictable.
The film was saved only by some first rate animation and a typically impressive John Williams score.
