Tintin, So So

?Performance? is another word that?s thrown into question by new animation technologies. Rather than just lending their voices, the likes of Bell and Craig literally embody their character, providing, in essence, a moving skeleton that?s then ?clad? in digital flesh. I?m inclined to say there isn?t an actor in Tintin who gives a less than terrific ?performance,? but given how many other artists it required to create each character, it seems somehow wrong to give all the credit (or blame) to an individual performer. Still, it?s worth noting that Serkis, as the drunken, self-pitying Scotsman Haddock, is a standout. It?s a strange, dark role?so dark it nearly takes the PG-rated Tintin into not-fit-for-children territory?and Serkis plays it as big and broad as a barn?a very sincere barn. There?s no hip remove between him and the character, no sense of condescension to the role. Maybe it?s Serkis? familiarity with acting in a motion-capture suit (in addition to Caesar the ape, he?s also played Gollum and King Kong), but Haddock, for all his cartoonish bluster, feels more like a living presence than anyone else onscreen.
