Blake et Mortimer

Captain Blake from MI5, the world's leading professor / scientist Mortimer and the villainous Colonel Olrik are famous adventure comic book series characters (well-known in the West) that is kind of a more advanced version of Tintin. After all, their stories have been published in Tintin since the 1950s. It's on the same level and in the same style, only the absent elements so typical of Tintin's escapades are absent. After all, Tintin is a young man. His assistant speaks like a heave drinker. There´s a dog that always saves everything and the detective duo takes care of humor. There is no such thing here. It's an orthodox, seriously conceived “sestakov" movie, which is the main reason why, despite the fact that it is an animated series, it is not as much for children as it might seem at first glance. This series from the authors of the series Tintin (it can´t be surprise you) deals with nine stories from the originals and four created especially for the series. In principle, they can be divided into three styles; Indiana Jones treasure hunts, detective cases and espionage-style original Bond films. And this animated series captures the spirit of the original perfectly. It´s fast-paced, (the original is from today ´s perspective too chatty and descriptive) action, tension, great bad and bad guys. No episode is utterly bad, but the quality has its highs and lows too. In any case, the best of them belong to the hall of fame of the adventure genre. (31.08.2017)
