This movie was a pleasant surprise, but I had it all wrong in my head. I
thought it was like Rin tin tin, a movie about a dog. Instead Tintin
is the principle character, a reporter.
Together with Captain Haddock they go on an adventure in search of gold,
while facing an intergenerational villain. I don't know how it works,
but it seems the villain and the Captain have memories from their
ancestors, and the villain is intent on pursuing an old grudge from his
family against the Captain. How the intergenerational thing works with
shared memories, is something I don't understand. It is one time you
have to suspend belief. This is an animated movie. But it is a wild
ride with motorcycle chases, plane crashes and an evil eagle. It even
has mechanical cranes fighting. Now that is cool.
