It's heavy-handed and people dressing up in silly costumes to look and move like animated characters really doesn't work.

Common Sense Media

Despite its diverse cast, jokes aimed at Chinese people and Asian culture feel like tired relics from the 20th century.

Cassel and Cotillard elevate the proceedings with limited screen time, but is the movie worth watching just for them? Not really.

The Post NZ

Yes, the plot is somewhat thin and the action rather predictable, but it’s delivered with a swagger and verve that Goscinny and Uderzo would be proud of.

Rated: 3/5

The Times of India

The film is driven by rib-tickling moments, high production value and a fresh story, but it’s best viewed independent of the iconic comic book series. It’s a family entertainer for those who don’t mind a slightly slow-paced watch...

Rated: 2.5/5

There are few bright spots in this Gaul-ling retelling of a beloved comic book.

Rated: 2/5

Le battute sono stupide e banali ma riescono comunque a strapparti un sorriso, specialmente la scena con Zlatan penso di non aver mai riso così tanto in vita mia
