Asterix and Obelix Against Caesar

My 18 year old daughter was introduced to Asterix and Obelix during a visit to France. She loved them so much that she made me buy this. This DVD has English subtitles, unlike the Asterix and Obelix Cleopatre DVD. Sometimes the translation is as funny as the movie, but it helps. Asterix and Obelix movies are largely visual slapstick anyway, so even without the translation you'd probably laugh. Don't be worried when you get the DVD and it has a Korean cover. The movie is in French with Korean and English (and I think Spanish?) subtitles. If you have the quirky sense of humor that likes Monty Python, you'll like this.

ASTERIX & OBELIX Versus CAESAR ~ Gérard Depardieu, Christian Clavier (DVD-VIDEO; MPEG-2) - [IMPORT - ALL REGION Play ] Asterix & his buddy - Obelix are an aquired taste but if you love them, then this movie doesn't disappoint. Asterix, Obelix, Verciningetorix and all the others join forces to HELP Caesar fight a challenge to his authority. One word of warning - the movie is in french and if you don't understand french, you can follow along the subtitles in english. It is true to comic book adventures with wit. I loved it.

- Said to be "full-screen" but in fact 4:3. Actually, the movie started as full screen but when the story starts the image become 4:3. Not a big problem but how the original movie looks like.- Experienced noise and freeze. Product problem or master is poor, I do not know.- Drama is a bit dull. Later movies are better.

Since I couldn't get the French DVD, I ordered this one in Korean. No big deal, because you can switch in French for the menu and the film. English subtitles available. My students could follow the story easily.

Of course, the original comics, in French of course, are still better than any movie, but they did a pretty good job. And seeing Depardieu carrying a menhir around is pretty funny. My wife and I definitely enjoyed it.

Classic Asterix. If you speak French, it's great because the whole thing is in French. If you don't speak French and are relying on subtitles alone, there are several translation errors and typos to contend with.

Thoroughly enjoyed the movie but not having English as a spoken language isn't all that bad - the sub titles and replaying it is improving my French lessons at high school all those years ago.

good movie

A mio parere la trasposizione cinematografica di Astérix più riuscita, caratterizzata dalla fedeltà ai personaggi e alle vicende dei fumetti, affiancata alla parodia ben riuscita di un film storico: grande cura dei dettagli, costumi dall'aspetto verosimile e trucco e parrucco stile Hollywood degli anni d'oro, credibile anche per quanto riguarda i personaggi più comici o stravaganti. La fotografia contribuisce a distinguere il film dagli altri realizzati sul soggetto, che invece hanno più l'aspetto di una "umanizzazione" del fumetto e dei cartoni. La trama è coinvolgente ma leggera, perfetta per la visione in famiglia con risate garantite. Ottima la recitazione originale in Francese, ma davvero ben fatto il doppiaggio in Italiano, con interpretazioni esilaranti che addirittura esaltano i momenti comici.

J'ai vu et revu ce film en VHS quand j'étais enfant, je l'ai redécouvert avec plaisir dans un Blu-ray plutôt joli (en ce qui concerne le transfert vidéo). C'est dommage de devoir passer par l'Allemagne pour avoir un film français en blu ray mais bon...

Divertente

Ricevuto subito e in ottime condizioni

great movie but it's stuck in German audio with no subtitles or the ability to change in to french so kind of frustrating.
