War Horse

Movie Review | Ali | 12th January 2012

Why does The Guardian hate Tintin?

Movie Feature | Ali | 1st November 2011

You may have already seen Steven Spielberg's new movie, The Adventures Of Tintin: The Secret Of The Unicorn. It's good, huh? Well, The Guardian couldn't disagree more: in fact, they've dedicated ~~FOUR~~ SIX separate op-ed pieces on why they disliked it so much. Protest much?
