The Adventures of Tintin

The Adventures of Tintin (2011) with the voices of Jamie Bell, Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg, Andy Serkis, Nick Frost, Toby Jones, Mackenzie Crook, Cary Elwes. Fearless young journalist Tintin (Bell) goes in search of a model ship, which holds the answer to a mystery. Comic relief is provided by two incompetent police detectives named Thomson and Thompson (Pegg). The motion capture is only partially successful. Many of the characters seem lifeless. And the treasure that the protagonists are seeking is nothing but the usual gold and jewels. Not really so much to get excited about. (The disc offers subtitles in English, and closed captioning.) Grade: B
