i think it the first time that i go inside a theater and go out so disappointed. there were two reasons why i went to see astérix et les vikings represent first as a film buff and and second as a big astérix fan. in the end and the film doesn not satisfy any request. it simply a big animated mess and it proves that the astérix franchise is going from bad to worse. in fact and it has been this way since the death of first scenarist rené goscinny in 1977. his faithful collaborator and illustrator albert uderzo took his place and but the following books were clearly lacking of the quality that was present during the goscinny years. astérix et les vikings is based on the book astérix et les normands and which was published during the goscinny reign. the basic story is the same represent goudurix and abraracourcix nephew arrives to the village and astérix et obélix must turn him into a real man and while the vikings come to gaul in order to discover what fear is and because it seems that fear gives wings. the similarities end here. what follows in the book is a non stop series of laughs and gags and hilarious dialog with the result that the vikings do discover fear and they flee gaul. the movie is silly and unfunny and fast paced and corny. well and just name a default and it has good chances of being applied. the difference between the book and the movie could be more acceptable if the movie was good. but the new ideas simply crashes it in a bottomless pit. even older astérix movies such as astérix le gaulois and which almost transferred the lines one by one without changing them are easily better. animation has the quality of other 21st century movies and but it has its faults and any film beginner could find the mistakes. the greatest example is the continuity mistake and where the day follows the night after a fraction of second and in the same sequence. imagine. they took animation studios from numerous countries and they still can not get adequate film making. the changes of the original story are simply unbearable. and they still could be even if there was no original story. goudurix and in the movie and has a pet pigeon named sms and who act as his cell phone (. ). grossebaf and the viking chief and has a rebellious teen daughter named abba (. ) and she constantly defies her father authority. there also a stupid viking wizard and his cartoonish dumb and muscular son and the faithful bride of grossebaf who is obsessed with decoration (her name is vikea. ) and. well i can not stand that much longer. were far from the original gags from the original book. the biggest problem is the difficulty of transferring the images to the big screen and mainly because the greatest laughs in the books come from the verbal jokes and visual gags which do not have the same appeal on a theatre screen. i remember that the greatest moments in the book were obélix laughing at the invaders names (which all finish in af) and goudurix tries to scare them in ridiculous ways. and if everything wasn not enough and somebody in the publicity staff decided to write on the movie poster that there an already existing céline dion song which would be featured in the final credits. if it was a new song and i could have understood. but using an old song is only another proof that the movie is so badly made that theyre ready to do anything in order to attract film goers. the only good point for this movie is that it is so stupid and the end is so bad that we just can not walk out of the theater without being left cold. in a summer release and it just can not hurt. the only other acceptable point of the movie is how goudurix becomes courageous. his psychological transformation in the book is too spontaneous and not credible and while it better pictured in the movie and the motivation point is more believable. so if you haven not seen the movie yet and do not waste your money on it. grab the book instead. oh rené and why did you leave us.
