Tintin

That circumspection may stem, in part, from the character?s mien: Unlike many stateside heroes, Tintin is a picture of unmanly perfection, a scrawny youth who does his best work in a pair of loose-hanging, unfashionably vintage golf pants. Part, too, may pertain to the creator: Fans tend to know Herg? was briefly imprisoned for his contributions to a Nazi-backed newspaper during the Belgian occupation. Mostly, though, Tintin?s limited stateside reputation is a consequence of limited exposure, and it?s that oversight Spielberg?s film is trying to correct. Inspired by the story lines of three classic Herg? books, The Adventures of Tintin traces a breakneck path across two continents as the young hero; his precocious dog, Snowy; and their chronically soused seaman friend, Capt. Haddock, follow long-hidden clues in pursuit of sunken treasure. The movie finds its heroes swashbuckling, crashing planes, stumbling through the desert, chasing ne?er-do-wells by motorbike, and initiating in all manner of high-speed pursuit. What?s striking, though, isn?t how much license the movie takes. Spielberg?s wild, Hollywood-flavored adaptation is, if anything, a fulfillment of Herg??s ambitions for the comic and an endpoint on the trail he long ago started to blaze.
