"Ave Moi" December 28, 2008

An outstanding comedy, Asterix at the Olympic Games, is the third film (after Asterix and Obelix versus Caesar and Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra) based on the ever popular French comics. The two Gauls, Asterix and Obelix head to Greece in order to accompany one of their own whose victory at the Games will mean marrying his beloved Greek princess. Roman Emperor Julius Caesar' stepson, Brutus, however, has his own eyes set on victory for he too aims to wed the Greek princess.
The film moves away from the original 1968 plot and includes elements from other Asterix stories as well as entirely new elements.
Gerard Depardieu, Vanessa Hesler (who is GORGEOUS!), Clovis Cornillac, Benoit Poelvoerde, Alain Delon, and the rest of the cast, have carried out their performances well. Watch out for cameo appearances by Michael Schumacher, Adriana Sklenarikova, Zinedine Zidane, and others. Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide for an evening's entertainment.
On the down side one does not get the impression that Asterix is the protagonist as his role in the film is rather limited. Moreover, with each movie a significant number of actors portraying characters from Julius Caesar to Panoramix and others change and thus take away from that sense of continuity and familiarity.
Nevertheless, the setting, the plot, the dialogues, the humor, the special effects (!!!) and the music are all wonderful!
In short, Asterix and Obelix at the Olympic Games is a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection!
