What?! I've never read a tintin in my life. And I've read over 12 books.

Ahhh. I see. Still think tintin looks like pegg.

Still don't understand who's going to watch it. Was/is tintin really popular? Plus motion capture is shit. DEAD EYES!

Tintin is Billy Elliot.

Pegg/Frost are Thomson/Thompson.

Still don't understand why it's not live action.

It is very unpleasant to look at, the colours are so bad my eyes kept averting themselves.
It somehow has too much going on, yet not enough. Like when I used to write essay answers in school using VERY BIG LETTERS to make up the required space. The content was still bollocks.

Tintin's Simon Pegg, yesno? He looks just like him, as I would imagine Simon looked when he was a child in the 30s. With a quiff.

Because Star Wars/Indiana Jones posters are artfully composed and arranged. They may have many elements but they all come together as one. This is just a mess and the colour scheme is garish.

I really don't see the problem here. This poster isn't any more crowded or confusing than your average Star Wars or Indiana Jones poster, and nobody ever complained about those.

This is how you market the epic scale of adventure movies, check the Pirates o/t Caribbean movies for reference.

If this one gives you headaches, then try to stay away from that Tree of Life poster with no less than 70 (!) separate images.
