Tintin et le lac aux requins

Tintin et le lac aux requins

Me on the other hand, who never ever have seen anything else of Tin Tin, i've always loved it, and regularly rewatch as an adult. I'm a total sucker for high-tech hideouts for criminal masterminds. Some tend to be crazy angry at the singing portion. I've listened to a multi-language comparison video about that, i gotta say yeah most of the languages didn't do it for me, especially the English is utterly basic, but the Hungarian dub just might be superior to even the original.

Although available on a DVD of excellent quality, one cannot say the same about the movie itself. Although the storyline is easy enough to follow, its rather jumbled account of underwater larceny in a remote Swiss chalet fails to hold the interest. The characters remain stubbornly one-dimensional from first to last, and the "surprise", sudden introduction of a "comic" villain from a previous Tintin adventure does not help either. In fact, the script is way overloaded with slapstick episodes. The players vary from the overly enthusiastic (the chief villain) to the conspicuously bland (Tintin himself). True, despite everything — including its animation techniques that vary from agreeably watchable to save money elementary — the movie is often reasonably engaging, even though the promise of its earlier scenes (the plane perched on the edge of a cliff) fails to materialize.

I agree with most posters, true fans will notice everything that is so wrong with this film. I was excited at having found this DVD as it is one of the only ones i haven't seen. seen and i am so disappointed.. i have it playing right now and it has failed to capture and keep my attention. Every time i do look up there is something awful.. the voices are all wrong, especially tin tin and haddock. there was one scene where tintin is wearing a tank top singlet) and he has all these muscles.. I don't know the whole image of him is just wrong. The series was so much better, i think i may just watch a few of those to compensate! I would not recommend this to anyone but maybe very young kids that may appreciate the bright colors. If this is your first introduction to tintin and it turns you off, don't despair, watch some of the series first to make up your mind. Herge was a legend and when i first saw 'greg' i thought it was a nickname for Herge, but as they have not paid any respect to Herge with this film it obviously didn't have anything to do with him.

I really enjoyed this movie. I saw it when I was a kid and had a chance to see it again with my daughter. The story is quite nice. There is a lot of action and humor. The pace is good and setting is nicely done. The story is original with a lot of references to the books. I don't know about the voices in English, but the French voices are excellent. Even if the story is a little more "simple" than what you will find in the books you have to remember that in the 70's, cartoons were made mostly for children. There was rarely 2 levels to a story, one for children and one for adults as it is so common (and fun) today. Still the story here is sufficiently well done to be entertaining for adults. Finally, Hergé himself worked on the movie. So I guess he must have found this close enough to the world of Tintin to be made.

PLEASE NOTE THAT I'VE ONLY SEEN THE Swedish DUB OF THIS MOVIE. My mom watched and read Tintin stories all the time when she was a child, and this was her favorite of all the movies. However, when I look back to the good movie that she showed me when I was little, it just doesn't hold up too well anymore. The whole film is drawn in the true style of Hergé (the creator of Tintin), which is, colorful and detailed, but at the same time simple. This is one of the two only things that I still love about this movie, since it gives you that good ol' Tintin feeling, unlike some of the newer movies that doesn't have the same characteristic style as this one. The other thing I like about this film, and I know that I'm not alone, is Captain Haddock. He always makes me laugh, and his voice is just one of the best to ever make it to the cinema. In Swedish he doesn't sound at all like Popeye, but rather like a more classic gruff and hoarse captain. The sound effects are really awkward, especially the sounds of the explosions, but that just adds a little more to the comedic values of the film. So basically, in order to like this film you have to like Tintin. It is certainly not the best movie out there, and not a good way to start your future interest to the films and comics. But most importantly: Don't take it seriously. It wasn't made for that reason. But if you like Tintin and has grown up with it you will probably like this film, if you can come over some of the cheesy jokes (one of which is literally cheesy!) and the fact that this movie is almost 40 years old.

This time our friends go to Sildavia where takes place several adventures . The picture will appeal to the fans of the popular animated hero named Tintin and his faithful sidekicks as well as the comic-books nostalgics. As Tintin and captain Haddock along with the Dupont brothers travel in a Balkan country to find professor Tornasol who has invented a machine that can duplicate anything .The professor is residing in a location near a lake plenty of sharks and next the border of Syldavia( Tintin and the scepter of Ottokar) and Bodouria but a criminal master mind named Rastapopoulous (Cigarrettes of pharaoh) attempts to force professor Tornasol to give up the machine by abducting two local children who live nearby , in order to get by all means the magical artifact . This is a nice adventure with hilarious moments here and there, and has Tintin and his inseparable friends captain Haddock , absent-minded professor Tornasol , the botcher Dupont brothers taking on , as always, against stupid enemies , this time Rastapopoulos ,the ruthless and infamous international delinquent . This cartoon movie of the popular "Tintin" comic-book magazine brilliantly captures the outrageous adventures, tongue in cheek, satire, comedy ,taking the characters and some elements from original stories , such as the shark-submarine (Treasure of Rackam the Red) and the Rastapopoulos's underwater amphibious. Although contains a primitive drawing , however being better developed than former entry ¨Tintin and the temple of the sun¨ , both of them produced by Raymond Leblanc . This amusing movie is accompanied by lively musical score with a catching leitmotif on the start and the ending. Full of humor , it's a funny entertaining for kids and grown-ups . The entertaining screenplay isn't based on the known comics by Herge but originally written by Michel Greg author of Achille Talon (1977 ,TV series and comics ) , 1981 L'Agence Labricole (TV series (screenplay) and 1970 Tintín in the temple del sol (dialogue). This cartoon movie is professionally directed by Raymond Leblanc . He was a Belgian publisher who started the weekly magazine in 1946 with the participation of Georges Rémi ("Hergé") . Under Leblanc's guidance, the boy reporter became the hero of a weekly children's magazine, with Hergé as the artistic director and magnificent creator of the immortal personage . Later on ,Leblanc produced the following films: Iznogoud ,1978 Gulliver's Travels ,1972 Lucky Luke el intrepid ,1970 Tintín in the temple of the sun ,1968 Astérix y Cleopatra and 1967 Astérix the Gaul. The picture will appeal to Tintin comic-books buffs. An agreeable , funny adaptation from a great comic book.

After watching the series, then this movie, what a letdown! I totally agree with the previous comments from Dave Pit in France. Not true to the original Tintin character and the voices are appalling! I agree with the Popeye comment made earlier about Captain Haddock. That's what we thought too; what a monotone. They could have at least tried to make the voices similar sounding. It sounds and looks like some cheap rendition of a Scooby Doo story, with a bit of James Bond thrown in (the hand on the chair). The animation is cheap too, as is the music; sounded like something off a 70's do-good cartoon trying to save the world! I can't believe all that lengthy singing was added either! Very disappointing. Will stick to the TV series; and the books that I grew up with.
