Lead

[edit]
  • I feel it should be expanded to at least two paragraphs (the current para remaining as it is and the second para explaining about Sir Francis's Battle with Red Rackham).

In The Adventures of Tintin

[edit]
  • "In Hergé's original French version as well as in many international versions," — "many international versions" sounds anonymous. I feel "In Hergé's original French version," would suffice, (even though the international versions may have the same name).

I see that you have made several changes to the article yourself rather than stating them here in the review. I agree that all of your changes are an improvement (with one exception); I appreciate the second pair of eyes. Question: Can you think of a single sentence description of the Unicorn we can add following mention of the 2011 film (in the Fictional history section)?

@Prhartcom: Don't need to as Spielberg reproduces that portion as per the book. But, if you insist, we can add that "the difference being that Haddock remembers it while walking through the Sahara desert with Tintin, while in the book, he reads Sir Francis's journal and narrates the story in his apartment to Tintin". — Ssven2 speak 2 me 06:05, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah yes, that was the difference. I couldn't remember any difference but felt the need to say something. I agree that it isn't worth mentioning anything after all. Prhartcom (talk) 11:05, 17 February 2015‎ (UTC)[reply]
