| Asterix et les Vikings is a disappointing, Danish-made, adaptation of Asterix and the Normans (the film also includes bits of another Asterix book, The Soothsayer). As in the book, here the Gallic duo battles some improbable (and anachronistic) Proto Vikings who have invaded the Gaul in order to know what fear is. It's hard to say exactly what's wrong with this film; it simply has no blood, no vitality; it's a dull effort. The attempts to bring Asterix to the full screen has so far been disappointments: I remember an earlier animated effort (called The Twelve Tasks of Asterix) as well as the atrocious live-actions films starring Gerard Depardieu (!) as Obelix. It might be that the humor in the books is at times both too subtle (with all those historical references) and too cartoonish (with all the over-the-top fights) to bring it successfully to the silver screen. |

... but I laughed. A lot.
I saw 'Ast?rix et les Vikings' at a public screening during the World Cup. The sound was lousy, it was too bright to see the screen properly - but I still enjoyed myself immensely. The names of some of the characters had me rolling on the floor: Smsix, Abba, Vikea... All not very witty, but in good Ast?rix tradition. Some very good jokes, but also some that not everybody seemed to get.
The only thing I didn't like were the voices of Ast?rix and Ob?lix, in the German version at least. The voice actors are very well-known around here, which was the only reason they were casted, really. They don't fit the characters at all.
All in all, a good way to spend some time (and if it's free, like in my case, all the better) and to have a couple of laughs. 8 out of 10. |
