As a fan of the series i'm happy that they finally made a new animated Asterix movie. The animation was really nice and all the characters looked exactly like in the comics. Also, in the shots that were two-dimensional it really looked amazing and i forgot for a second that this was a 3D animated film. However, during the view i still couldn't stop thinking that i would rather see this movie in classic 2D animation. As i said, the animation is really good and this is only a personal preference.

The dialog was, for the most part, well written and made for a lot good jokes that matched the timeless humor of the series very good. Unfortunately, the rest of the jokes were quite dull and by some choices of words you can easily tell in which time period this movie was released. They also tried to use slow-motion in a few scenes but that got boring really fast.

I think the biggest issue i have with this film is the family they added to the story. The introduction of them was almost identical to a scene in the original comic with the exception that they added a child which was nothing more than a plot- device and was also just there because the writers probably knew that a lot of people would watch this with their little children and thought that they couldn't relate to a husband and his wife without a child.

Aside from that, i still enjoyed this movie and would recommend it to every fan of the Asterix series.
