Great for fans of the comic. I've never seen the earlier film versions and didn't have high hopes. But this was better than expected and a light romp that is faithful to the series. Does Asterix still have a following among younger readers? I hope so.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

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.

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

Pretty danged dumb...but if your kids are into slapstick and you haven’t outgrown the Stooges, this nonsense could be just the ticket.

Rated: 2/4

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
