Captain Haddock = Jar Jar Binks
Yet again, Spielberg has resorted to that most frustrating of tropes, "The fool who inadvertently saves the day by virtue of his stupidity". A narrative can get away with this maybe once, but when half the plot advancement relies on one of the chief protagonists doing so repeatedly, it gets really old really fast.
That, and his beady, narrow-set eyes make him seem inbred. What a waste of a good character.
