Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Sanjeev Waters A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

madhuchandar2910 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

Andres Salama The fourth film adaptation of the famous Asterix comic books is the best one so far. Entertaining and even witty at points, instead of boring and crude like the previous films, the movie is based (quite faithfully) on the 1966 album Asterix in Britain (one of the best of the series), with some bits from Asterix and the Normans. Asterix and Obelix help the Britons resist a Roman invasion by Julius Caesar (in the real history, Julius Caesar made a punitive expedition to Britain in 55 BC; Britain would only fall under Roman rule in 43 AD under emperor Claudius). A lot of the comic situations are based (like in the original albums) on national stereotypes, on how the French and the Englishmen see each other. There is also some mildly risqué humor here (with a Briton initially believing Asterix and Obelix to be a gay couple). Edouard Baer is Asterix. Gerard Depardieu is Obelix (he's fine, and by now, it's difficult to think any other actor playing that role).The veteran Catherine Deneuve has a cameo as the queen of the Britons. Fabrice Luchini is Julius Caesar. Production values are acceptable.

nando1301-1 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.

valadas 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.
