The Graphics
The graphics in this movie are VERY well done. From the characters, to surroundings, and everything else. I liked the fact that, in the very beginning of the movie, they showed how Tintin originally looked in the comics. They did this without even making it look odd. You can tell that time was spent on the graphics used in this movie.

Scharlaken Rackham
This character is just AWESOME! The evilness drips from every inch of this character. From the first time you meet him you know he's no good. And his villain does seem evil to my adult mind. Daniel Craig does an excellent job in this role. In no way do you feel pity for Scharlaken. And, at the same time, you savor every moment he's on screen. He's one of those villains you just love to hate.

3D Version
I did not see this in 3D. However, on the IMDB Trivia page (for this movie) it showed that Steven Spielberg did spend time on the 3D. aka It wasn't Post-Production 3D. However, I can't tell if the end product is good.

Final Thoughts
This is a great movie and I agree that it was snubbed in this year's Oscars. There were so many good performances and the story telling was outstanding. I haven't read the original comics so I can't say how this compares to them. But the movie is still enjoyable. I would highly recommend you go out and see this movie.
