When Steven Spielberg made his first ‘Indiana Jones” action thriller he heard a lot of comparisons with Belgian comic strip named Tintin, a fearless young reporter who was always looking for a story and ended up pursuing a world of high adventure. Finally after all these years Steven Spielberg collaborated with Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings) and directed a breathtaking action adventure with one of the most advanced 3-D animation. The movie is based on series of comic books by Georges Remi, who wrote using the pseudonym Herge. If you read the Tintin comics as a kid you might not like the way Spielberg and Jackson have made the movie an American style fast action thriller to a comic which is originally more laid back. At times it feels like Herge’s unique creations are reduced to Indiana Jones boilerplate Still you got to give both the directors a credit where they have inserted technology and animation smoothly in the movie and made the movie a must see entertainment for all.

For a lot of you this might be the first taste of Tintin in action but millions of kids around the world grew up reading Tintin comics. For those of you who want the real experience of the comic series, I recommend reading the comics’ before-hand.
The unquenchably curious young reporter Tintin (Jamie Bell) and his fiercely loyal dog Snowy as they discover a model ship carrying an explosive secret.

But with the help of his dog Snowy, the salty, cantankerous Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and the bumbling detectives Thompson & Thomson, Tintin will travel half the world, outwitting and outrunning his enemies in a breathless chase to find the final resting place of The Unicorn, a shipwreck that may hold the key to vast fortune... and an ancient curse.
