Asterix And Obelix Movie Review: A rather dull attempt at live-action

Billed as France`s biggest Live action adventure yet, Asterix And Obelix: The Middle Kingdom has wonderful locations, grand landscapes, good stunt action, beautiful costumes, and opulent settings but the writing, characterization, performances, and humour are not up to the mark.

Among the world`s most popular international comic characters, Asterix and Obelix have always been eagerly devoured by fans. The comic book series has always been a winner wherever it has been reproduced, but the same cannot be said about the filmed versions - especially the live-action ones. This new film, a live-action version translated into multiple languages, is being released in English, Hindi, and Tamil. The filmmakers might have high hopes for this big-budget French production but the lay audience might not cotton on. This film, in fact, is an insult to Goscinny`s work. It`s not in the least bit funny and the characterizations don`t stay true to the comic book series.
