awful....stick to the cartoons
16 July 2004
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.
