Le Avventure Di Tintin - Il Segreto Dell'Unicorno Italian Edition Region Free

Loved this movie

I bought this so that I could download it onto a tablet for a long flight we were taking with our kids (10 and 7). I'd seen it a dozen years ago in the theater, but I didn't remember much about it other than it was "Indiana Jones-ish." I thought at minimum my kids would enjoy it since they like the books. They were really into it, and it was a big hit. If you have kids that like action and adventure, give this one a shot.

Let me start this off by leveling with you. I don't come at this movie from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about the franchise. You see, I've read virtually all of the Tintin comics, though I never saw the animated series. I know these characters and what they're all about.Fortunately, fans of the comics won't need to suffer the disappointment of character derailment in this movie. Every last character is spot-on. Tintin, Snowy, Captain Haddock, Thompson & Thompson... It's all there. If you read and enjoyed the comics, you'll find much of what you enjoyed in this film as well.I say "much," because while a certain amount of excitement was also common in the comics, they were largely mystery-based, rather than action, and this film has very strong and almost-constant action and suspense elements to it, though its penchant for mystery, treasure-hunting and adventure remain as strong as in the comics it was based on.However, now it's time for the fanboy in me to take a back seat and explain some of what this film is actually about for those not familiar with the character of Tintin (who, it must be admitted, is something of a niche character outside of Europe.)Tintin, a young reporter and seeker of secrets and stories, buys a model ship in the marketplace one day, while he's out for a walk. Immediately, two men try to buy it off him, but he doesn't sell, because he realizes something must be up with it. A series of accidents, investigations and crimes lead him to uncover an old poem which seems to promise a great treasure to those who can unlock the secret of "the three unicorns sailing in company."However, Tintin and his friends will need to fight for their lives, because another man; Saccharine is looking for the same treasure, and that's not all he's looking for. He's willing to stop at nothing to get what he wants, even if it involves kidnapping, torture, thievery and murder. Tintin is fast action, high adventure and a thrilling mystery all rolled into one.Now, specifically to those who've tried to claim that Tintin rips off Indiana Jones. It would be more likely that the reverse was true, since Tintin comics were published from 1929 to 1976, and Raiders of the Lost Ark wasn't released until 1981. However, it's almost universally recognized that what Indy really rips off is Allan Quatermain, so I won't make that claim. Needless to say, if you think this film is a ripoff of Indy, you're simply wrong, and that's all there is to it.What this film is, is simply fun. Good, clean fun with some nice action sequences and several very good chase scenes. It's a well-done ride, and as icing on the cake, a bit of Catholic history comes up at one point during the movie.Herge himself (the comic's author) was Catholic, and writing for a Catholic publication, which only elevates my respect for the series, as you might imagine. It's a great series, and a very good movie as well, and I think the main reason is that Stephen Speilburg and Peter Jackson seem to have realized that they just shouldn't mess with what obviously works. Kudos to them for understanding this, and for their faithfulness to the source material.I recommend this movie to anyone looking for good, clean fun, or anyone who likes a nice, hair-raising adventure. There's guns and alcohol in it, but it's all treated appropriately, I think. I don't even think kids would have too many problems with this movie, to be honest. I know I didn't, and I hope many other Tintin fans will get as much out of it as I did.

As one of the movie critics said, Tintin has a great job: he is a reporter who only goes on adventure and doesn't seem to write any article at all, but he is getting famous anyway!For the people who knows Tintin, the comic book (or "Bande Dessinée" as we say in France), The adventures of Tintin are a mix of "The Crab with the Golden Claws" and "The Secret of the Unicorn". While looking to pierce the mystery of the Unicorn, Tintin and Snowy encounter Capitain Haddock, and the three of them continue this adventure through the Karaboudjan (Haddock's ship), the Sahara, and Brussels.Visually speaking, this movie is by far the most accomplished animation movie ever made. This can be seen with the characters, who are all amazingly drawn and animated at a point it is troubling. They look indeed so real, but yet specific "Comic book" elements are kept. That allows Spielberg to show unbelievable scene - like the one in Bagghar - that would annoy in a realistic movies, but are simply enjoyed in this case. You can compare this to Myazaki's movies, which shows believable character in situation not so believable, but some little moments (inertia, size of the tears, etc.) help for the movie coherence.So yes, the characters animation is astonishing. The action scenes are great too, though not as detailed as the characters. Yet a 10/10 for the reatlisation for sure!As for the story, many people got upset that two stories are mixed to produce one movie, or that Professor Calculus wasn't introduce. The fact is that the movie feels a bit long - especially at the end - and has multiple slow moments. I think people who read Tintin as a kid/teenager had a "too much/too little" feeling after this movie, hoping for more and regretting some parts.My understanding is that Spielberg use these Comics to make an adventure movie, and he succeeded in it: it is thrilling, interesting, funny and Comic-y. However, there are two moments that creates problem. - The first is the rememberance of Haddock about his ancestor, which is a way to introduce the plot of the next movie, more than explaining this movie's story. This wasn't necessary, and could have been kept for the beginning of the second movie. - The second is the final battle. It lacks (in my opinion) the intensity shown during the scene in Bagghar. Therefore, you end the movie on a smaller note than what you would expect, and therefore a bit disapointmentApart from these points, there is no deception.If you are a kid, you will enjoy all of the adventures and the insults Capitain Haddock is yelling.If you are a young adult, you will be fascinating by the visual quality of this movie.If you are an older adult, you will appreciate this kid movie (because it is a kid movie) without the bad humour so many animation movies are showing these time.. And the hero is actually a human, not a snail or a car, yay!

This is Spielberg's only fully computer animated film. A family film, it stays away from blood, gore and the like but doesn't scrimp on the Indiana Jones style action. In fact, this is as close in style to an Indiana Jones adventure as Spielberg has ever directed outside of that series. Spills, thrills, fun and even some humor are delivered in this exciting adventure that keeps it all light and inoffensive (it is a Spielberg family film, just like E.T. was).The 3D is very good, with a more Avatar like approach to the 3D, opening into the movie's world instead of a lot of popping out of the screen (although there are a few such moments). I liked this much more than I was expecting. Call it's style Indiana Jones "light".

As a devotee of the original Tintin books, I approached this film version with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. Would it be Americanised for the U.S. Market? Would Spielberg add a layer of cloying sentiment? How could any film, even an animated one, emulate the character and life of Hergé's original drawings?As it turns out, I needn't have worried. While it is true that the digital environment falls slightly short of the original illustrations, in all other respects this is a fantastic retelling of Tintin. The suspense & excitement of the original translates perfectly back to the screen, making a film that works perfectly as a family action/adventure without in any way destroying the original charm.The way that two of the original adventures have been combined is very clever, and Bianca Castafiore is ingeniously given perhaps the most important role of her entire career. Fans of the books are more likely to be impressed than appalled by the alterations when they come, and there are a few "in jokes" for those determined to evaluate this as an adaptation rather than a standalone movie.One particular strength is Snowy, Tintin's pet dog, who lights up the screen every time he is given some work to do. Tintin and Haddock are, to my tastes, not quite as good, with Jamie Bell turning Tintin into too much of a toff and Andy Serkis inexplicably playing Haddock as Shrek: most viewers won't be troubled by either of these problems. Acting performances are a subsidiary consideration with a film like this, but Daniel Craig, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost all do fine.The action sequences are very well managed. They become a little fanciful in the big set-pieces towards the end of the film - Hergé wouldn't have stepped quite so far away from the bounds of possibility - but that's permissible in a film aimed at a young audience. John Williams's score is one of his best of recent years. Oh, and (here's something I wouldn't usually comment on!) the opening titles are superb.The Blu-ray comes with the DVD and a digital copy downloadable from iTunes for mobile devices. The picture and sound quality are both, of course, very good, and there are some reasonably generous extras in terms of making-of featurettes. The Blu-Ray medium is not fully exploited in terms of extras but ... that's just something we're getting used to with the generally sloppy feature releases of the last few years. There's no commentary and, bizarrely, while you get several oriental language soundtracks, you don't get a soundtrack in French!Overall, this should be great fun for young viewers with enough action to delight an older audience. Better than I could have hoped for and a clear five-star movie.

Géant ! Etourdissant. Fabuleux !Faire un film de Tintin était un pari impossible, mais Spielberg l'a fait ! On n'attendait pas un film qui respecte les albums à la lettre mais quelque chose qui respecte les personnages et l'essence même de la série. Son Tintin ressemble tellement à Tintin que ce serait presque dérangeant ! Il n'y même pas à se poser de question : c'est Tintin ! Ce petit coup de vent dans la mèche de Tintin au début : incroyable ! Et Tintin a donc ...les yeux bleus ! (c'est finalement logique)Au début du film, le charmant clin d'oeil à Hergé (avec l'accent belge !) est tout simplement jubilatoire !Dans ce film, Spielberg a rendu le capitaine Haddock plus humain que dans la BD "Le Crabe aux Pinces d'or" où il passait pour un ivrogne presque irrécupérable (qui s'est vite amélioré par la suite, dans les albums suivants, en dévoilant un très grand coeur..). Il est même parfois très émouvant et donne au film ce petit plus que l'on attendait. Il est aussi fort drôle. Ah, cette scène où Haddock entend pour la première fois la Castafiore ! Hilarant ! J'en ris encore ! (Future scène culte !) D'ailleurs, à propos de la Castafiore, c'est bien la première fois que sa voix chantée ressemble vraiment à ce qu'elle pourrait donner dans les albums !Les Dupond et Dupont sont fort drôles et bien conformes à l'idée de ce que l'on se faisait d'eux dans la BD mais leurs apparitions restent trop rares.Milou est très réussi aussi et très attachant : espiègle, curieux, malin et parfois si proche ...du capitaine Haddock !Spielberg nous offre en prime un vrai méchant inédit, digne du Rastapopoulos de la meilleure époque.La mise en scène est époustouflante. Le rendu des images est simplement somptueux.L'album du film est par contre décevant car les images sortent assez ternes (sauf pour les couvertures très belles), contrairement au film où elles restent éclatantes (c'est, je pense, une histoire de papier et ce sera peut-être corrigée pour une prochaine réédition) Lisez plutôt (à ce sujet) le très beau livre : « The Art of the Adventures of Tintin » de Weta Workshop (luxueux livre de 200 pages, avec jaquette - il existe aussi une version française) et vous comprendrez combien toute l'équipe a gardé le plus grand soucis pour respecter l'aeuvre originale. Tous les gens de l'équipe connaissaient les BD des aventures de Tintin et cela se voit à l'écran ! Clins d'oeils multiples, hommages discrets, etc. Tout dans ce film respire le plus grand respect à l'oeuvre originale. Hergé aurait adoré ! Il avait voulu (dans un premier temps) que son Tintin soit adapté par Disney qui n'a pas été intéressé (et son style était d'ailleurs bien trop éloigné...), puis (bien plus tard) il a voulu que seulement Spielberg donne sa vision personnelle à son personnage. C'est finalement une habile combinaison entre film et dessin-animé que ce dernier a préféré choisir, 30 ans plus tard... Et finalement, heureusement que le projet ne s'est pas fait à l'époque car il n'aurait pas été aussi réussi et fidèle qu'il ne l'est aujourd'hui !Et donc, même s'il n'y aura plus de nouvelle histoire dessinée par Hergé, nous pourrons avoir encore des histoires avec des péripéties inédites en films, grâce à Spielberg !Les voix de doublages ont été judicieusement choisies : La voix de Tintin est formidable (c'est Tintin, il n'y a rien à ajouter !) et celle d'Haddock bien plus convaincante que celle des dessins-animés TV des années 90.Concernant la musique de John Willams (l'inoubliable compositeur de classiques comme "Star Wars", "E.T.", "Indiana Jones" et tant d'autres...), elle colle parfaitement au film sans "écraser les personnages". La musique du générique est assez déroutante pour commencer, certes, mais se révèle fort adaptée aux images très imaginatives (et à l'époque où se déroule le film) Plusieurs thèmes se distinguent : celui de Milou parfaitement bien pensé : en entendant la musique, il semble que l'on voit Milou courir partout ; celui qui symbolise l'aventure (parfait avec des envolées musicales bien plus discrètes que dans "Indiana Jones", par exemple); celui qui symbolise le mystère de la Licorne (simplement fabuleux) et aussi celui du Chevalier de Hadoque, face aux pirates (nous sommes dans le grandiose...) Bref une très bonne musique de Williams qui restera parmi ses meilleures compositions....N'oublions pas l'apport considérable de Peter Jackson, Tintinophile de la première heure, qui a su apporter au film ses conseils avisés...Hergé a dit : « A force de croire en ses rêves, l'homme en fait une réalité ! » Spielberg l'a fait ! C'est Merveilleux. Son film est le plus bel hommage que l'on pouvait souhaiter ! Avec Spielberg, Tintin retrouve une nouvelle vie ...ou une seconde vie !C'est donc un très grand film d'une réelle beauté esthétique que nous offre Spielberg. Il nous donne vraiment envie de très vite voir la suite... (ou LES suites !) avec Tournesol et des tas de surprises en perspectives... (avec la suite du "Trésor de Rackham le Rouge" mais avec quoi au bout ? Mystère ! Avec ce tandem de choc, toutes les - bonnes - surprises sont permises !)...Et en film n°3 (à venir) : "Le Temple du Soleil", si cela ne change pas encore d'ici là... En fait, on aimerait même en voir beaucoup plus.Melissa Mathison, productrice de la série a dit dans une interview : "Nous avons acheté les droits de TOUS les albums de Tintin !" Tous les espoirs sont donc permis !Il y a tellement de possibilités avec Tintin : Le Tibet, La Lune, la Bordurie, le San Théodoros, les premières histoires en flash-back comme "Les Cigares du Pharaon" ou "Le Lotus Bleu", etc. Il est difficile d'imaginer que des personnages aussi intéressants que Abdallah, Tchang, Séraphin Lampion, Dr. Müller, Piotr Szut, Oliveira da Figueira (pour ne citer que ceux-là) soient oubliés... Le seul problème pourrait venir de l'époque : comment faire évoluer des personnages qui ne changent pas à des époques différentes ? A moins de faire un tout petit peu vieillir Tintin ? (juste un souçon - il est quand même très jeune dans "Le Secret de la Licorne") Mais c'est peu probable quand même... Les scénaristes trouveront certainement une solution auquelle on n'a même pas pensé ...ou pas.L'autre problème, c'est aussi le temps que tout cela va prendre avec les emplois du temps chargés des deux réalisateurs... Mais Sony et la Paramount semblent pressées de mettre en chantier la suite (bonne chose !)Bref ce film est une véritable oeuvre artistique et un film d'auteur qui fera date !Le pari était impossible mais pourtant les miracles existent encore au cinéma !A VOIR ABSOLUMENT ! (bien-sûr)

This film is absolutely fantastic!I first bought it for my grandson who is a fan of Tintin, that animated caracter who was created by Hergé.Spielberg, the director of the film, wanted to make this film for a long time. He had met the author and Hergé had given him the rights of making Tintin films with true to life caracters.It wasn't before last year that the prestigious director could realize his project. And what a scuccess! The film in 3D is so real that my grandson was spellbound when he saw it.He had already seen the film several times in 2D and knew it practically by heart. In 3D, it's even better because it feels so real to life.The Secret of the Licorn is one of a series of Tintin adventures. Let's hope that Spielberg comes out soon with other adventures of Tintin. Young an old will certainly benefit.Synopsis:In this adventure, Tintin buys a model sail ship of the 17th century to find out later that this ship is in great demand. Somebody tries to steal it from him. A person is killed when he tries to warn Tintin... The Belgian journalist and his dog Milou try to solve the riddle. They find out that part of a treasure map is concealed in one of the masts of the model ship.In search of the other messages, they live all kinds of fantastic experiences with the Dupont brothers (policemen) and Captain Haddock, whose ancestor concealed a treasure.The special effects are fantastic and the actors exceptional.Tintin is a great film born from a legendary caracter created by the belgian author Hergé.
