Audience Member La animación es muy buena y el humor es muy absurdo; la trama pudo haber sido mejor, pero es disfrutable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Because when I think of Asterix, I think teen romance! Look, I don't mind romance and a majority of Asterix movies released after the Big Fight fell into that trap but still, this barely feels like an Asterix movie. It doesn't help that Abba, whose personality is essentially "a poor man's Disney Princess" was a completely original character. And it seems to me that Asterix has less dialogue in comparison to Obelix and Justforkix. This came out in 2006 and by this time, what few 2D animated movies were still being made were wise enough to realize that the Disney formula just doesn't make sense anymore, even if Albert Uderzo was reluctant at the time to turn his and Goscinny's creations into Pixar characters. The script is also a bit too modern for this old-fashioned historical comedy. They have a training montage with the cheapest cover of Eye of the Tiger they could get the rights to and a quirky animal sidekick (also not in the original comic book) whose name is literally SMS. A shame this movie wasn't as good as it could have been because the animation is gorgeous, the movie is intermittently funny, the Gauls do remain faithful to their comic book counterparts and the dubbing is really well done. I know I expressed my frustrations in the past with the Gauls having American accents preferring the voices from Twelve Tasks and the XXL games (Olympic Games, included due to having the same developers and game engine) but here it's very easy to forget that this was done by French animators, not a big Hollywood animation studio, with the voices really fitting the characters and nary a frame of animation where the lip movement doesn't match up with the English script. You'd think the voice acting would be terrible, since more famous actors were involved here in another misguided attempt to boost Asterix's U.S. appeal but even though I know I'm hearing Paul Giamatti and Brad Garrett's voices, they really match with the designs. While the American dub of the Big Fight and the first Asterix movie back in 1967 are still the animated Asterix movies that really rubbed me the wrong way, Asterix and the Vikings still wasn't as good as it could have been in spite of the fact that effort really was put into it. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member La calidad de su dibujos es muy lograda a la de las viñetas muy fiel a sus diseños originales a la vez que la trama, un personaje que evoluciona desde el principio hasta el final con una historia de amor con la que se puede estar identificado y ver que el miedo no te da alas sino el amor. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the best one, lacks that feeling, a little soul.. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member They managed to transform one of the most original, witty and funny european comic characters in a bland, stereotyped, hollywood-like animated comedy for idiots. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review duncan p The first Asterix film made in 10 years, it really is a different beast to the older, classic ones. It's gotten a lot of slack for having some really different anachronistic jokes and such in it. It was a little predictable and weird, sure, but I still found it funny at least, so it comes recommended from me. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
