Not bad not great

Not sure why there is so much hate in other reviews to be honest.It wasn't perfect or the funniest thing ever and it did go on a bit longer than needed with a lot of sequences that could be removed. I think some moments needed a bit extra time than what it was given. It cut back and forth in a bit weird way and didn't have a good flowThey did play around with the names as jokes which worked good mostly, Zlatan's cameo was funny for those who understood basic soccer. A bit of adult humor too and some parallels with modern technology.Overall it was a pretty good and relaxing movie to watch.

Not bad, but there are better movies with these heroes

This is an enjoyable, popcorn-friendly comedy, that will help you relax and forget some of your problems. Marion Cotillard becomes more prominent in the second half of the movie. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a secondary character, to my surprise, but he elicits a few laughs. The new casting is likeable, but it doesn't quite live up to the old actors' talent and charm, meaning Gerard Depardieu and Christian Clavier were far better as Obelix and Asterix, respectively (too bad they' re too old), and the script is what you'd expect from a standard "Asterix and Obelix" movie. It's not super original, but it can hold your interest, and younger kids' as well. Overall, it's not a masterpiece, but it's not a waste of money and time, and it's a generally family-friendly movie, that it's funny enough.

weak on jokes

Some funny moments but too many long sequences without jokes and, to be frank, not interesting. One kungfu fight would have been enough.Totally useless cameo by soccer player Zlatan Something.I liked the new Obelix, Gilles Lelouche gave to the character a lot that was missing in the lazy Depardieu acting. Canet was rather ineffective as Astérix. The character is supposed to be smart and funny, he played him as a bumbling idiot. A vegan Astérix ? What a stupid idea.Cotillard was a very nice Cléopatre for the whole minute she is on screen. Cassel was, as usual, quite convincing as César. But his entourage was lackluster.
