The well-known little village from the Asterix and Obelix-comic books is in trouble: It is the last place not controlled by Rome. When Tax collector Claudius Incorruptus does not get his money from th...( read more  read more... )e villagers, Julius Caesar himself comes to the place to see what's so special about their resistance. A special magic potion, prepared by the village's druid, gives incredible power to those who drink it. And Obelix, who fell into the pot as a child has been invincible ever since. With the help of Tullius Destructivus, an intrigeur, the Romans try to get Obelix and the druid into their hands in order to wipe the little village off the map, when the last potion of it's stock has been used up. But each individual also has some plans of his own...

    I think they made a live action version as best they could. I quite enjoyed in fact!

    I hate Roberto Benigni but thankfully, even if the scenes he is in are crap because of him, the movie survives with the charming performances of both leads, specially Depardieu in one of the most extraordinary casting decisions ever made.

    The movie is hilarious and simple, with ...( read more)great moments here and there and a wonderful art direction/set decoration and costume design.

    It's great to see that European "dumb comedies" are still far more intelligent and enjoyable than most American "light comedies".

    Hilarious. Love Gérard Depardieu.

    Although the dubbing is done badly (the lip movements should be ignored to enjoy it), this take on the popular comics by Goscinny and Uderzo.
    Kids will love it, and adults will enjoy comparing the film to the comic books. A must - see.

    still, the same as in 14 applies, only here the balance is still right

    Why so much hatred and bad hype towards it? As a magical and cute epic story for the family, it works very fine :( Just take a look at Benigni doing those stupid things lol, and the longest beard ever.

    54/100

    mmm no es una buena adaptación en muchos sentidos se parece al comic y a los animados pero le hace falta algo... Igual es bueno recordar.

    J'ai bien aimé, c'est très représentatif de la série télé d'animation et des bandes dessinées. Les acteurs sont tous très bons et rendent parfaitement crédit aux personnages. C'est très léger et adorable, le genre de comédie dont on ne se lasse pas. Chapeau!
