nice
...and it could not be more. because it is one of easy films, seductive for the names from cast, for use of cliches and stereotypes, for humor and for cultural references in clothes of not real good irony. a mixture of history and cartoons. so, just nice. or only nice. but nothing more because it is a film giving to each viewer a small present , from great actors in sketches of characters, cultural clash , contemporary references and the absence of Clavier as Asterix by effort of admirable Baer.
It's Asterix and he's in Britain
Loved every minute of it, but then again I have loved the comic books since a young boy. Those sneaky Romans only fighting after 5 o clock.
I loved the ribbing the Gauls and British give each other and the tongue in cheek jokes highlighting the differences (well before Allo Allo did them).
This is live action and not a cartoon. The only downside is that there is only English subtitles, which vexes me sorely ! The first few Asterix live action ones were dubbed in English, so why not the one about England for us English fans?

Fun film, grossly underrated
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.

Fun film, but not as good as the others
Fun film, but not as good as the others. The story remains funny though and Britannia is a good change of atmosphere for the gang.
Fun for all the family
I have not much to say but this film is horribly under-rated. It has no dark undercurrent, no social engineering (a rarity these days), it is just light, laugh out loud funny, with good acting, cast, sets and story.
I have not watched something this fun and innocent for a long time. This is far cleaner and leaves you feeling better than any Disney or animated film i can remember.
Also there is none of that horrible Hollywood overtone where everything is over done & there is no subtlety because the audience is assumed to be morons.
People claiming this film promotes homosexuality (an agenda in society i am very aware of and personally protest) have no idea what they're talking about. The English dignitary was just inferring that Asterix and Obelix are homosexual because they live together, as a jibe. Nothing more.
Go watch it, have fun, feel good.
I hope they make another.
