Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

JustALittleBitRandom Caesar comes up with a new plan to wipe out the huge threat that is a Gaulish village by adapting them to Roman life by building huge apartment complex's nearby.A comic book that's just over 40 pages long being adapted into an 85 minute long film? It can't be done can it? Well Asterix: The Mansions Of The Gods proves that this can be done while remaining faithful to the original material. This film is genuinely like one of the comics has come to life. And even better it will entertain both kids and adults with something for all ages to laugh at. It's got lighthearted slapstick and gags both of the visual and spoken variety. It's a surprisingly funny film and also very entertaining. At one point halfway through it seems to look like it might drag but it picks itself back up and continues on the same form it was originally from. It does look like it might be a cheesy film due to it's mixture of a very British cast from all different areas of Film and Television, etc but it is successful and is actually a good film.From watching the trailers it does seem to look like another dodgy foreign film with a bad English dub done by some big names to sell it better and that is possibly what has been done but it pays off well because this adaptation is a good one.. The plot is well done and there is potential for gags throughout as the events unfold and the writers take advantage of nearly every opportunity to do this and these grabs for laughs usually end up with a few chuckles from the audience no matter what age they were. The script and plot are both very well done and clearly remain faithful to the source material and all the original Asterix comic books. And then it ends. From start to finish 85 minutes goes by very quickly and having been thoroughly enjoyed by most of the audience.Funny and very entertaining Asterix: The Mansions Of The Gods is a very well done adaptation that stays faithful to the original material. It has something for kids but will also entertain the adults taking them. It's another one of this summers pleasant surprises.**** <-- Four Stars (Out Of Five)

William Alencar Barros Asterix is simple FUN!! It represents the Fight against the Empires and what I mean for Empires are all types of empires in the world. For example: Democracy was created in the Classical Greece CITY States. Rome created the Representative Democracy and The Concept of Republic (Public things). Today Countries and Specially USA have too much Govern Secretes. Like Europe Union. And all Countries Democratic Armed Forces stand to Defend their Capital City Democracy and NOT the LOCAL People Democracy! Is this a Democracy or an Empire of Marketing?? I have all Magazines of Asterix, I am a Big FAN!! Even the way Politicians wear today. They all have suit. Why?? in this multicultural environment??

sesht Viewed on Real D 3D with a decent audience that seemed to comprise (mostly) fans of both the genre and the original comics.Usually, I prefer not to watched dubbed fare, other than for fare where bad dubbing doesn't matter much. Cases in point: the badly dubbed (in English) Indonesian fare like the Raid movies and Gareth Evan's first movie, Jackie Chan Cantonese fare, Tony Jaa Thai fare and District B 13. All of those belong to the same genre - leaveyourmindsathome martial arts action fare. Who cares about lines? To be fair, 'The Raid 2; Berandal' is like the 'Godfather' in this genre, but more on that in a separate post. Now, most of the movies based on these beloved characters have come from France, and this one has to be the best of the lot, and hopefully acts as a precursor for better things to come. The screenplay takes plenty of liberties with the work its based upon, but the great thing about that is that it makes the whole thing more cinematic than any other adaptation that came before, and funny to boot. There are hilarious montages that tie back together, like the one with the main characters and boars in the forest, the ones with a Roman family being asked to come back with more and more documentation to move into the 'Mansions of the Gods' and so forth. One of the most confident screenplays I've seen in play for a long, long time. The animation, while staying true to the aesthetic introduced and followed by the comics, also ensures that it does not get 'fixed' or 'static' and acts the way a large screen movie should. The 3D is also not utilized just for show, the way it was with 'The Peanut movie' recently (Snoopy and Charlie Brown), but allows the frames to live and breathe, all the way, consistently. My only disappointment was the short shrift accorded to the character of Geriatrix's young wife, a favorite from the comics, that was missed out completely, and I wish there was more of Impedimenta, though I am thankful there were a few frames devoted to her shenanigans with Vitalstatistix.In conclusion, I am looking forward to a repeat viewing this weekend. And hopeful for 'Asterix in Corsica'.

Reno Rangan Like I said in 'Song of the Sea' review, its a 3D animation dominated world. That's mainly in Hollywood, but trend spreading so fast everywhere. Even the Japan shifting gear from anime to 3D anime, I saw it in 'Space Pirate: Captain Harlock'. From a comic book to 2D animation is easy because they are much alike, but it's different when it comes to the 3D. I have seen Micky Mouse and Co transformed into 3D characters that I did not like, because some characters do not suit for that kind of leap. In Micky Mouse, the ears were the biggest drawback. But 'Tintin' was a success and so expecting 'Popeye' would do the same magic which is due next year (2016).I have seen all the 'Asterix & Obelix' movies so far from both the format, live-shot and animation, but this is the first 3D animation. I'm so happy that it came overall very well, every detail was retained. Even those mud-smoke/dirt-smoke (whatever it's called) shown exactly as it to be which forms during their fight after the consumption of magic potion. That concept is for comic book, to make understand the readers the situation because the picture is still. But in a motion picture you can show the whole action, if they make that change the trademark will lose. So I must praise the technical side of the movie for the lossless transformation.It's like a new beginning in the series in the 'Asterix & Obelix' franchise. Especially this story was not freshly written for the screen, but taken straight from one of the comic books in the series called 'The Mansions of the Gods'. In 3D animation, emotions, violence, comedies would be a little realistic. That's why the movie like 'Brave', 'Frozen', 'Up' appealed strongly on the sentimental side. Gaul's favourite food, the wild boar hunting was compromised, because children would be watching the movie and it might disturb on the softer side of them. Just like the filmmakers avoided the Giant's children and women in 'Jack the Giant Slayer'.One of the best things in 'Asterix & Obelix' movies is that the movie might not be awesome, but still it entertains and keeps you engaged. You can't spot the flaws, in animation all are relevant. A man can jump 1000 feet high and leap a mile away. So if there should be something, that must come from the technical side. Since it (Gauls in 3D) is new and so much fun, you can't concentrate finding those faults or you will miss the actual enjoyment.''It's weird that the house looks like a box.''As usual the story set in the first BC. The Gaul's enemy the Romans comes with a new strategy to defeat them. They begin to build the large mansions near to their village and later to invade by seducing the community by the Roman culture. So the fight begins between them where the innocent civilians and black slaves get affect more. But Gaul's main intention is to keep the ecosystem unaffected, especially they're against the Romans modern fancy civilization. What happens to the Julius Caeser's 'Veni, Vidi, Vici' is the movie's final battle to disclose.Probably a best 'Asterix & Obelix' movie compared to the previous couple of movies. Good to see a non-Hollywood 3D animated movie with a great quality and doing well commercially as well. A whole family together watchable movie, not only for the children. Hoping for the a sequel, I mean very soon. All the above it was short and sweet which runs about 80 minutes. If you are a fan of this comic, you will love it, because lots of the frames look alike. Must be dedicated to the fans.7/10
