109683, It's no so much about it being "real" as it is about it being creepy-looking.

A lot of mo-cap tends to fall into what they call the "uncanny valley" - where the animation looks too real but still too artificial to be a fully comfortable viewing experience - and at least judging from the trailer, that's where "Tintin" is for me.

I could see it and possibly enjoy it, but I'd be a bit apprehensive about paying full price.

Also, it's a bit reductive and somewhat insulting to those of us who _are_ animation professionals to say something like "Fun and Entertaining >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 'Real' CGI". You could find a more tactful way to say the same thing.
