The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Good fun! Watch it as its really hillarious ;) not over and has hilalrious steorotyping jokes.
I liked this movie very much. I watched Asterix and Obelix Meet Cleopatra the other day and got the hang of the movie and the characters. And this movie has a fair amount of characters too, and all of them are very well etched and everyone has a fair part to play. There is this English nobleman who follows strict rules in life and a similarly behaved older woman who takes care of his fiancé. There is Caesar and his army trying to conquer the Britons. There is a bunch called Normans, whose only aim in life is to experience fear after which they believe they could fly. Fantastic Queen of England and last but not the least Asterix & Obelix. Every character is very detailed that they take a place in your heart, even a thief who comes only in two small scenes. The movie is kind of a spoof of lot of things, but trust me it never ruins the mood like the movies made by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. What more can you expect from Asterix and Obelix movie other than fun? Turned out very enjoyable for me. Just give it a try
This is not the best of the Asterix series (my favourite is still Asterix & Cleopatra) but it is still quite good and certainly deserves more than an average of 5.3...Perhaps many viewers failed to see the humour in laughing at themselves.I thought the film was great fun and so full of funny details that it merits a second viewing to catch all the quick jokes in the background, the signs, etc.It's certainly much better than the latest Hollywood "comedy" productions that resort to gross depictions of bodily fluids as an inept attempt at humour. My only reason for not giving this 10 stars is that I don't like the actor portraying Asterix as much as the one who did the first films in the series; I don't find him as entertaining as the original. Still, that didn't stop me from laughing out loud many times through the story.
The famous comics characters by Goscinny and Uderzo ride again, this time impersonated by real actors: Obélix by Gérard Depardieu who makes an excellent imitation of the comics character and Astérix by Edouard Baer who doesn't look much like his comics counterpart. The story portrays a pretended help asked by the Queen of Britain from those Gauls that have been resisting for so long in a small village to the Roman invasion since now Julius Caesar has invaded Britain which he intends to conquer. It develops itself in a continuous series of gags and funny situations with somewhat disguised references to political and social usages and practices of our present times. The dialogues above all convey those references on purpose which increases and enhances the funny nature of the respective scenes. For instance the Queen of Britain (performed by the great beautiful actress Catherine Deneuve) dresses practically like she could have dressed nowadays and wears a crown 100% identical to the present British Queen one. Some gags are very good some others not so funny. The special visual effects are first class. The final musical show in the end is fabulous. You may go to see this movie anyway with the assurance that you will have great fun.
