CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Taha Avalos The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

mgaut-55950 I was very pleasantly surprised by this film. With the years of the unique style of the animated movies deteriorating into some sort of tacky Disney-rippoff and the general awfulness of the live-action films, I expected the worst. I thought a 3d version would resemble every DreamWorks or Pixar movie that I can't stand, but found instead a unique style which was faithful to the Comics. The movie overall was faithful, well made and funny, not to mention beautiful enough to make someone who is not a fan of CGI love it. However the voices in English do not have the charisma of the iconic characters they are attached to. Nevertheless, I still loved it and I am glad that Asterix and Obelix are still alive to entertain new generations.

Wizard-8 I was a big fan of the original "Asterix" comic books when I was a kid. Still am, as a matter of fact. So when I came across this French computer animated adaptation of the Asterix comic book "The Mansion of the Gods" on Netflix, I was curious to see how well it would be done. I still remember very well the particular Asterix comic book this movie adapted, and I have to say this adaptation is pretty well done. The second half of the movie pretty much stops following what happened in the comic book in order to do its own thing (and to stretch the story to feature length), but the changes to the story do feel straight out of a typical Asterix comic book. The humor (and there's plenty of it) has the exact tone, and happens to be pretty funny. The computer graphics don't quite have the Hollywood polish, but they are colorful and acceptably detailed. The only caution I would deliver to potential viewers is to inform them that they should read some of the original Asterix comics first before watching this movie, since there are some (minor) details that might be confusing for those not familiar with the comics.

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'.

quaseprovisorio it's a truly funny funny film. The spirit is exactly like the books, the humour goes right to the point of them, where we have lots of social reflections (about economy and tourism, or being happy just for having things) while we laugh at them. The animation is pretty good too - i'm not the biggest fan of their faces while drinking the potion, but it's just a small detail.The fact is: the humor that makes these books so good is completely here. They didn't try to over complicate or anything, they finally made a Cesar that is clever and has a refined strategy, they grabbed what it was funny about the people of the village - the fish and metal owners fighting, the old guy screaming, the importance the chief gives to himself...we get to see a few village fights in this! even the gags of the musician were awesome, even thought they were predictable! I don't know, it just worked. I laughed my ass off, and you can watch it with your whole family. A great surprise i had. Go and watch this movie, i'm sure you won't be able to see it without laughing in lots of bits. Really great stuff.
