Reptileenbu Did you people see the same film I saw?

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Kirpianuscus ...and it could not be more. because it is one of easy films, seductive for the names from cast, for use of cliches and stereotypes, for humor and for cultural references in clothes of not real good irony. a mixture of history and cartoons. so, just nice. or only nice. but nothing more because it is a film giving to each viewer a small present , from great actors in sketches of characters, cultural clash , contemporary references and the absence of Clavier as Asterix by effort of admirable Baer.

mbooker-4 This is a very cute adaptation (with updates) of the classic Asterix comics. The version I had only had French audio with subtitles available in English. This wasn't a problem, as one of the running gags of the film is that French actors playing English characters (most notably the impossibly elegant Catherine Deneuve) speak with their French with horrible English accents. The prize for best/worst Frenglish goes to Charlotte Le Bon, who sounds like she's flunking her first semester of French. The jokes are generally cute-but-harmless, notably the 5:00 hot water break that defines life in England at the time of Caesar. There are references to Star Wars and A Clockwork Orange that don't appear in the 1966 source material, and an Indian character who might strike a contemporary audience as uncomfortable. Still, of all the live-action Asterix films, this one seems to best capture the spirit and absurdity of the comics. Very sweet, very fun, and well worth catching on video.

seercirra I have not much to say but this film is horribly under-rated. It has no dark undercurrent, no social engineering (a rarity these days), it is just light, laugh out loud funny, with good acting, cast, sets and story. I have not watched something this fun and innocent for a long time. This is far cleaner and leaves you feeling better than any Disney or animated film i can remember.Also there is none of that horrible Hollywood overtone where everything is over done & there is no subtlety because the audience is assumed to be morons.People claiming this film promotes homosexuality (an agenda in society i am very aware of and personally protest) have no idea what they're talking about. The English dignitary was just inferring that Asterix and Obelix are homosexual because they live together, as a jibe. Nothing more. Go watch it, have fun, feel good.I hope they make another.

kataeklund i couldn't believe what they did! Even by trying i have a hard time seeing how you can fail at making a movie to that point; I mean how hard can it be? If you look at the comic book, they had a plot, a storyboard, the costumes and the background ready to be used. they could have repeated the cartoon version word for word and release something that was better! firstly they make a Remarque of Asterix and Obelix as a homosexual couple (I am serious) as they apparently live in the same house (which they do not if the director read the comic carefully). Unlike the last movie there was not one love story that ruined the whole movie but TWO so twice the amount of boredom. the special effects were better in the Cleopatra movie. and the acting is awful. in the movie Goudrix(from Asterix and the Normans aka Asterix and the vikings(he looks like the complete opposite from the comic))wants to be with Jolitorax's fiancée(who was not in the cartoon), and so does Asterix for a while and at one point Jolitorax was completely in the nude. at that point I wanted to leave the room shocked for life ( I wish but I was actually stuck in there). so I suffered the whole movie. the actual story that the movie is based on takes around half an hour. the other hour is the stupid love story that was added on top. the cartoon version of this movie was absolutely brilliant although there is probably the translation problem (I saw it in French). if there was one good Asterix movie with actors, it's definitely the Cleopatra one. Asterix should not be treated as a kids cartoon. i actually enjoy the cartoon for its caricature of reality and of its subtle intelligent humor that is hard to find these days. i highly recommend this movie if you want to torture an Asterix fan or if you want to painfully waste an hour. the twilight saga seems all right next to this junk. avoid at all costs. I think of this movie as a mocking parody of the brilliant comic books and hopefully there will be a better one.( i said doubtfully).this is still an OK romantic comedy but it does not feel like you are watching an Asterix movie. to be honest by the end of it i forgot it was an Asterix movie. the worst of it all is the fact that they took away the friendship between the two characters. during 3/4 of the movie the two characters are irritated at each other. this is going against the rules of the Asterix series and that is a mistake that one should not do.
