The reason I rated 6 out of 10 because most of the parts which are in the book are not there in the movie which kinds of makes it bad and awful because most of the parts are so funny in the book but since they are NOT in the movie,I had to rate it 6 out of 10.I also didn't enjoy the part where the funny people who are sort of jokers catching General Tapioca,I didn't like the part where the first time there was no chorofoam but the second time,they played the trumpet,they suddenly had chorofoam and suddenly they started killing everyone,that is the only part which I didn't like(part 2).We also missed the part where the explorer comes and they say that they should accept the goods,but when one of his teammates drank the wine,he drank everything but threw up afterwards,that part we also missed from part 2.

Tintin and the Picaros (Part 1)
lost-in-limbo29 March 2007
Warning: Spoilers
Bianca Castafiore, her entourage and Thompson and Thomson who are with her to look after her prized jewels arrive in San Theodoros. Only to be arrested for supposedly trying to overthrow the military dictatorship led by General Tapioca, which a bit of evidence of was discovered in their luggage. On these papers, the names of Tintin, Haddock and Calculus are also caught up in the accusations. After hearing the news of this, Tintin and friends travel to San Theodoros to clear this up, after being invited there by Tapioca. Tintin gets the feeling something is not quite right about it, and that's true as an old cunning enemy in Colonel Sponsz has planned out some sort of revenge against them. The only way for Tintin, Calculus and Haddock to escape is with the aid of their friend Alcazar and his band of rebel fighters, the Picaros.
Herge's "Tintin and the Picaros" is the twenty-third (and the final) comic strip album of "The Adventures of Tintin" and the eighth episode (part 1 of 2) of Season 2. Out of all of the episodes this was the only one which hadn't seen before, but I've read the graphic novel. How this one is shaped, doesn't feel like your normal Tintin venture, but it turns out to be a dark conspiracy tale filled with vengeance, guerrilla warfare, terrorist activity and a political slant. All of this takes on a more mature and thoughtful tag with everything basically being kept under wrapped. I didn't find the humour to be too intrusive, but it took a back step, although it did leave a mark somewhat in the second part of the story. Reappearing is the larger than life character Alcazar and treacherous bad guy Colonel Sponsz (from the"The Calculus Affair"). The bright setting again is San Theodoros (which was the background for "The Broken Ear"). Pacing wise it's slow, but there are enough unexpected turns, shady developments and a taut strangle hold that doesn't entirely rely on action. This story driven excursion, feeds off its material with bite and interest.
