We took over 90% of the movie theater, our family plus twelve other families from the homeschool group, and were all delighted by a wonderful show! We discussed the movie over breakfast this morning, and our combined overall review—and being Tintin comic book lovers we are very picky reviewers—was very, very favorable:

• the film kept the atmosphere and feel of the Tintin stories
• no politically-correct distortions
• incredible attention to detail in every scene; we felt as if we were inside one of the books
• the 3-D effect was awesome!
• the initial scene of Tintin being drawn by Hergé at the art fair won all of our hearts
• the Catholic reference of St. John the Evangelist in the final scene was left intact (see original page of book here)
• and many more...
