Revisited this one a week or so ago after years:

How films that you liked twenty/thirty years ago can now disappoint you today!

Just like .. Gulden Vlies, this one is also quite entertaining, but it all comes across as very slow and old-fashioned.

Mss that this one is just a bit smoother, but Haddock's recasting is a flop as far as I'm concerned:

compared to this sniggering and annoying new guy, the previous actor was the epitome of subtlety!

The biggest problem of this (and to a lesser extent of the previous one) is that people think that in a film adaptation of a well-known comic, one should not give the characters any realism, but that everyone should behave like a cardboard fool,

so that you can hardly believe in the characters and certainly cannot sympathize with them.

Especially the latter undermines the tension enormously!

I can't give more than a meager 7, or a 3.5.

Very fun and entertaining movie. This Tintin and the Blue Oranges is somewhat inferior in everything to Tintin and the Golden Fleece.

Despite that, this is another very nice live-action Tintin film. Nice music, good acting. Only I think Jean Bouise is a lesser Haddock than Georges Wilson. Nice story and pretty good action.

Fun and entertaining movie.

Tintin and the Blue Oranges is the second Tintin film with Jean-Pierre Talbot, who was perfect for the role of Tintin. This film is, according to many, less good than the first (Tintin and the Secret of the Golden Fleece) and I agree.

Jean-Pierre Talbot is now three years older, but still just young enough to pass for the boyish Tintin. The role of Captain Haddock is played this time by Jean Bouise, who is a bit more rambunctious than Georges Wilson, but that fits this character, because Haddock is also like that in the comic books. Even the dance steps where he clicks heels together are very similar to the way the cartoon character Haddock dances.

Professor Zonnebloem is also played by a different actor this time. Besides Tintin himself, only the role of Nestor is played by the same person as in the first film, namely Max Elloy.

In addition to a less well-developed story, this film also has a less imaginative setting than the first film in my opinion. Valencia in Spain is indeed a beautiful region to film, but Turkey and Greece look a bit more exotic.

What bothered me most about this film is the children, because Tintin relies a lot on the children to solve the case of the Blue Oranges, you get the feeling of watching a children's film. In the Tintin comics he often gets the help of the local children, but for some reason it bothers me less than in this film.

Purely out of nostalgia I can still fully enjoy these kinds of films, so I hope that I can get my hands on the diptych 'Tintin and the Secret of the Golden Fleece' and 'Tintin and the Blue Oranges' on DVD.
