Watch Asterix & Obelix Take on Caesar For Free

Simply Perfect

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Asterix and Obelix Take on Caesar is not a masterpiece in any shape or form and has its problems but it is not an awful movie. Then again it is dependent on version you see, in my opinion the French version is the best while the translation isn't really worth bothering with. I agree the plot is tired and the direction on the languid side, and that the visuals and CGI is nothing brilliant to be honest with you. Take on Ceasar is also criticised for having none of the wit and charm of the animated adventures or the books. Of course they are definitely better, but it is dependent on which version you see(that criticism is understandable if it were the translation), in the French version there are enough deft touches in the script to amuse I think. The pacing is good, while the acting is fine. Christian Clavier and Gerard Depardieu are well cast in the title roles, while Roberto Benigni sinks his teeth into his role as the scheming centurion. In conclusion, nothing fantastic, but it isn't that bad. 6/10 Bethany Cox

I was a Huge fan of the Asterix books when I was about 5-6 and as I re-read them throughout the ages, I learned more, Understood more and enjoyed it more. I've vowed to never read the newer books for fear of ruining such a good childhood experience. I've heard talk of aliens in the newer ones *shudders* And so, It was with much trepidation that I picked up a copy of Asterix and Obelix from my video store. With even more trepidation, I watched it.As a Die-hard fan, I can tell you this: You will enjoy this movie, warts and all.The books have been recreated to some of the minutest details imaginable, It really is incredible what a good job they have done.That being said, There are warts. Quite a lot of them. The visual effects aren't on the great side, The CGI is far from flawless. Also a couple of moments felt like they departed too far from the original idea.The storyline is a combination of several Asterix books, plus some new elements. so even though I mostly knew what was going to happen, there were a couple of surprises along the way. Some were good, some bad. It all depends on opinion really.The humor is good, I highly recommend the English overdub as it doesn't just translate the movie, but makes it a hell of a lot funnier. There is a lot of slapstick comedy, well executed mostly.To conclude: This movie isn't perfect. It's not a masterpiece and it won't win any awards. But this I can say; If you read the books, enjoyed them, understood the humor and can bear a little tackiness - Then you WILL enjoy this movie.

One of the things I enjoyed during my childhood was reading Asterix-comics. And I still do. But then the cartoons came along and I hated everything about them. The humor was made more childish and everything was so stupid. And I keep thinking how bad they would have been, if they were live action. Both the live action and the cartoons are bad, but the live action is the worst. The movie tries to relate closely to the comics, but fails hard. And one thing that really bugs, is that they even were allowed to make a sequel after this flob. I actually had a bad taste in my mouth after watching this, so I'll warn you about watching this. I'll give it one more point for some of the music.

This is an awful film, a complete waste of 80 minutes. The storyline is overly simplistic and awful, whilst the English dubbing is terrible and detracts greatly from the movie. I rented this movie with high hopes and was sorely let down. I have been a big Asterix fan since I was a kid and still enjoy the both the animations and comics. Therefore I was disappointed to that this movie is a wasted opportunity. The sets are nice, the costumes good, and some big name actors appear. However as is common with a lot of these cartoon to film adaptations the story is very weak. The film becomes irritating after about 10 minutes. I haven't seen the follow up and on this evidence will not bother. Hire the original cartoons instead.
