This is one of those occasions where the filmmakers dramatically improved, although changed forever, the life of Tintin and his dog. The animated figures move like people – but even more so. So what’s it all about? [...]

The problem arises when trailers either show you too much giving the game away or simply being so irrelevant that the movie you finally see wasn’t the movie you expected. Trailers run from [...]
