Live by the buzz, die by the buzz

In the case of "Tintin" more likely lack of familiarity.

Oh I don't know... "A new adventure movie from Steven Spielberg" is a pretty good marketing point.

Unfortunately they must have oversold the fake people -- for some reason still not taking it in that audiences seem to hate them, unless used sparingly.
