Whenever a Steven Spielberg film comes out, you bet the world is paying attention. Especially if it's the director's first film in almost four years. Because of Spielberg's long hiatus, a lot of stock was put into The Adventures of Tintin. In a ton of ways, it represents a whole lot of new for Steven Spielberg; it's his first animated feature, and the first time he's ever gotten to play around with a virtual camera. But it also represented a very big return to the days of old for Spielberg; for the first time in decades, Spielberg was crafting an action adventure film. Because Spielberg was working in the same playground he made famous over 30 years ago, anticipation for this film was reaching a high point. But does Spielberg's return to action adventure filmmaking make a good follow up to his previous work? And would his first introduction to the world of modern day animation be a worthwhile one? Hit the jump to find out.
