Noah Berlatsky The Atlantic [The] Adventures of Tintin is what you'd expect: a competent Hollywood stunt-fest. Aug 28, 2019 Full Review David Jays Sight & Sound Like the thrill-sapping hero and anti-climactic denouement, it botches the full satisfaction of adrenaline adventure. Jul 9, 2018 Full Review David Edelstein New York Magazine/Vulture There are so many variables moving so fast that it's a wonder Spielberg didn't have someone onboard from Princeton's department of Higher Math to help keep track. But his crack team here is enough. Apr 12, 2013 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Spielberg’s genius-level control and trademarked energy throughout will make the film an easy sell for animation buffs and suckers for a good adventure. Rated: 4/4 Mar 1, 2023 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies A fun time that the entire family can enjoy together. Rated: 3.5/5 Aug 19, 2022 Full Review Cory Woodroof Lumination Network The Adventures of Tintin really captures the spirit of a classic action/adventure film while taking advantage of the motion-capture format to deliver some simply stunning action sequences.

Well it is and yep! This movie is really good. I adore the animation it’s so stellar and rare. The action, so smooth and well thought. The voice acting, top tier! Especially Andy Serkis. The characters, not the best but still pretty decent. Definitely one of the most rare films my boy Steven Spielberg made! Definitely a really great time!
