So this is my third Spielberg film so far and I have been impressed so far. However, I was not expecting much from this movie. I read all of the very old comic books of Tintin and those are some of my favorite books ever. I thought that this movie would ruin it for me. It didn't.
To start, the animation was actually really good. I typically hate this kind because the polar express ruined it for me. But this kind seemed different. It seemed pretty advanced for 2011. It really gave the feel of watching real people, but at the same time gave a comic book feel when you had scenes such as the motorcycle chase scene. I really liked the plot but I think I'm a bit biased because I already knew it because I read the book a couple of years ago. Not really much to say about it because of that. I think that it stuck very close to the book. One of the best movie adaptations I've seen. Just all in all, the animation was just so good its hard to explain it. That probably left the biggest impression on me.

So I haven't really seen many war movies but this one seemed like a good one. I have heard about it before from random people, so I wanted to give it a try. I didn't really know what to expect since this was my first one. I liked it for the most part. However, I did notice one thing. Going back to the first movie I put on this blog, The Magnificent 7, I noticed that the final fight scenes were IDENTICAL. In both of them almost all the good guys die, the sniper is in a tower at the back, the bad guys bring in a big gun, the good guys are outnumbered, bad guys keep missing shots, good guys can't miss. The list goes on.
This movie is alright. I saw it a very very long time ago and didn't remember much other than there was a funny looking alien.
So the movie starts very fast paced with the alien ship landing and the chase scene. Then there is a long break in the action which feels a little too long. However, once Halloween happens it is mostly interesting. The music of the movie was incredible. I didn't like it but it matched the mood so well. It really got me in to it. Visually this was an insane movie. However they were able to edit ET was pretty cool and he looked pretty good. Also the flying looked cool and the moon shilloett was amazing. Plot wise, it was ok. I feel like it could have been better. It was just so predictable. There was one plot twist and that was it. Character development was good. Everybody was a good person at the end of the movie. 7/10 When I first started watching this movie I was really worried that it was going to be terrible. The start was one of the slowest starts of a movie that I have seen. However, once the dude is shot, the movie rapidly picks up pace. It then becomes very entertaining.
My favorite part was when he was stuck in the gears of the windmill. At times like those in the film it was obviously a Hitchcock film with all of the suspense. If this movie did not have that bad of a start this movie might be a top ten for me. That being said, because of the start, I think that it was pretty good. 7.5/10 |
