The Adventures of Tintin (the Movie) - like many others in my generation I grew up reading the Tintin comic books by Herge. I actually reread all of them about a year ago, and I still liked them a lot. So I was a little wary when I heard there was a Tintin movie in the works - but what do you know, looks like it doesn’t suck! Natalie Zutter over at Tor.com has posted a review, and it’s sounds pretty good:

 Tintin is a perfectly fun adventure movie — I can’t say anything bad about it, but it didn’t move me as much as other movies of 2011 or even other selections in a similar genre (e.g., Hugo). Where I will commend the filmmakers is in making this adaptation/reimagining palatable for viewers over 10; there’s a surprising amount of violence, with baddies (and a few good guys) getting riddled with bullets and not making it out alive.
