Astérix et sa bande de gaulois habitent le seul village en Europe que les romains n’ont pas conquis et César n’est pas de bonne humeur. Lorsque le percepteur d’impôts de César échoue à sa tâche, César lui-même se rend en Gaule, complotant pour recruter l’invincible Obélix et vaincre Astérix.

I have many if not most of the Astérix-Obélix books in French. They're a fun way to keep language skills up. I agree with the other reviewers - this film does a great job portraying the spirit of the comic characters, including snooty Caesar and the rank & file Roman soldiers who know they're going to get clobbered. Gérard Depardieux is magnifique, and I loved Roberto Benigni's power-mad Roman, speaking French with an Italian accent! Did they make more than one live-action film of these stories?Fun movie - swissguy
I loved Asterix et Obelix as a kid and, who am I kidding, I still do as an adult. Something about the coziness of the village, the closeness of the villagers, they joie de vivre and love of adventure of our heroes Asterix et Obelix. This movie uses real actors to represent the comic strip characters and it does a great job of bringing them to life. Even the dog is exactly like in the comic strip. It is sheer fun. Gerard Depardieu as Obelix is exactly as I imagined him to be. I recommend this film, lots of laughs, Romans flying through the air, good vs evil - everything to give pure entertainment fun.They've come to life! - Zoyamauz
For fans of Asterix & Obelix comics this movie is a must see. Unfortunately only the version in French is available. Gerard Depardieu is fabulous as Obelix and he is not the only big name in this star studed comedy. Roberto Begnini is a little over the top as usual but the cameos of Arielle Dombasle and Laetitia Casta are unforgettable. The main Theme song is exceptional and was a big hit in Europe commemorating Obelix's rejection by Falballa. Deffinitely a fun movie for the entire family not just the kids.
