  • Kermode, if you want to interrupt Mayo about how crap 3D, you go right ahead

  • Well that sounds like an almost-literal 'meh' from Kermode and Mayo...

  • you asked me what i thought ....................

  • @KapStuf

    I think it sort of flopped, but it's not nearly as bad as you've put it in your experience. Especially if you were a Tintin fan.

  • Spot on review. Absolutely spot on.

  • @Foebane72 This movie's 3D was spectacular. Don't you be dissin, now!

  • This film must have sunk without trace, because I'm a bit of a Tintin fan, and I never knew it was out.

    And Simon Mayo *does* have a Tintin quiff! So is Mark Kermode Capt Haddock, or Prof Calculus? As long as he's not Bianca Castafiore :-).

  • @themenaceanish Glad to see I'm not the only one who thinks you're worthless.

  • I'd never before noticed that Mayo has a Tintin quiff.

  • I enjoyed this film a lot. It was the first time in a long time that I haven't sat there analysing a film, which as a Film graduate is quite liberating. I do agree with their comments in regards to Thompson and Thompson but I am a biased Pegg and Frost fan; they can do no wrong in my rose tinted view.

    It was great fun, I loved the CG and was very impressed by some of the inventive video transitions but as Kermode and Mayo say; the plot was stodgy. I would definitely recommend this film.

  • @themenaceanish The reason I ignored your Twilight comment is because I haven't seen the films, and have no intention of ever doing so (romance movies just aren't my thing), so I simply don't know if they're good or bad. By that lack of interest I haven't even seen Kermode's review, so I have practically no opinion on the matter. They do seem to be perfect movies for their target audience though (dim-witted American teenage girls).

  • Why are people debating/trolling about the worthiness of Kermode as a critic? Being as critic isn't necessarily about being right or wrong in the eyes of the viewer/reader/listener, it's just about having opinions that people are interested to hear. There are times when we disagree with them, but we enjoy hearing their arguments.
