I saw Prisoners of the Sun in mid-eighties. I was maybe 8 or 10 at the time. Can't say I was overly thrilled, but not hugely disappointed either. Let's just say I got introduced to Tintin through books, and never been fond of any film or tv adaptation. Mind you, I really wanted to see the theatre version of Tibet few years ago.
Tried to watch Prisoners again few years ago, but gave up. Felt like an obligation from the word go, and decided not to waste my time.
Probably needless to say, but I'm not holding my breath waiting for the new movie. At least there's some talent and money involved, so I'm moderately hopeful. |
