Tintin Forums

Here's what I think about the Tintin movie:
The Tintin movie is what every Tintin fan has either hoped for or dreaded.
It (obviously) will not do justice to the books,
but I will definitely go see it (if it ever comes out).
After all, I'm a Tintin fan, so why not?

It (obviously) will not do justice to the books,

Why do you say that? Its possible that it will do justice, but I think you meant to say, 'don't think it will be as good as the books.'

I'm not just trying to bash the Tintin movie, Tintinrulz.
You're right, "I don't think it will be as good as the books," but even if it is good, it can never portray Tintin the way Herge did.

it can never portray Tintin the way Herge did.

I think that is because everyone has a different concept of how Tintin is portrayed in the books.

I would love to see a faithful animated adaptation of the albums, but I'm terrified with the thought of a new generation of fans only imagining Leonardo DiCaprio or some other Hollywood actor when they think of Tintin. Undoubtedly, Tintin is worthy of the homage that is a film, but I'm concerned that the filmmakers' idea of Tintin will detract from Herge's vision. Even though we all have different perceptions of details in Tintin (i.e. what his voice sounds like), I think everyone on Tintinologist.org understands the main themes and emotions of Herge's work. That a massive money-obsessed corporation like Spielberg's production house does as well, I'm not sure and I seriously doubt.

I have said it all along it should be Animated

Well, I was reading some comments on another fan club site and found out something humiliating about the films. Tintin Animated flims from Belvision were a complete failure on the box-office. Well, with the Hollywood Tintin Movie in pre-production(scouting for stars) stage, we shall not tolerate a very bad Tintin film and I hope Speilberg will make a good storyline for this one or he'll be a bullseye target for displeased Tintin fans and Tintinologists.

People shouldnt bad mouth the belevision cartoons even though they wasnt a hit at the box office there good in there own respect for something made in the 1960's and early 70's Spiderman 3 is a box office sucsess but i hated it and if a tintin movie does comeout i hope it comes out like the asterix and the vikings movie not to much publicty becuase to much publicity can ruin some things simply ingrediants for a good tintin movie
1-Animated Movie
2-90 mins long
