The Adventures of Tintin (2011) Directed by Steven Spielberg. Tintin voiced by Jamie Bell and Captain Haddock voiced by Andy Serkis.
Haddock: Mr. Jaggerman. Top bunk in the center. Keeper of the keys. Careful mate. He’s a restless sleeper on account of the tragic loss of his eyelids.
Tintin: He lost his eyelids?
Haddock: Aye. Now that was a card game to remember.

This was that rare Spielberg I found mediocre and ultimately forgettable.
Action-wise, this was the Indiana Jones movie we should have gotten years ago. Amazing action sequences, completely over-the-top, but a lot of fun. But the animation uncannied my mental valley so brutally that I nearly lost my lunch. Quite possibly one of the most unintentionally disturbing movies I’ve ever seen. Did not like.
I dug the roller coaster ride, but did not dig how the faces/eyes looked. There was also a lack of feeling to it most of the time. Thrilling at times and often beautiful, but ultimately kind of flat.
The scene with the opera singer right before the big finale chase literally made me sick to my stomach. Incredibly creepy! Funny how they spend so much effort trying to make scary horror movies these days when all it really takes is to clone some woman’s face weirdly into a CGI avatar and be done with it. TERROR!
