The third movie I saw with two friends during an Asterix marathon yesterday. The original idea was to save this movie for last, but after the Asterix and the Smashing Cauldron fiasco, the desire for one of the two movies we consider to be the best (the other being [i ]Asterix and Cleopatra[/i]) too big to wait any longer.

It starts well with Hoefnix, the blacksmith, who knocks four Romans in succession with a single punch. Very dry. The rest of the film is quite unique, as it is not based on the comic books. This is not a disadvantage, however, as there is now plenty of time for an excess of entertaining nonsense.

The film has many highlights, notably through some of the one-liners and comments such as "By Osiris and Apis, you are a boar" from the hypnotist, "Silence, be with me!" by Jupiter, or comments on low-flying birds by Obelix, who often has the driest comments to his name. Further highlights are the island of pleasure, the crocodiles that hang dazed on the invisible line and of course the house where you go crazy. Also nice is the last assignment where the entire village, including chickens, enters the arena of the Colosseum. Finally, an anticlimax: was it all a cartoon?

So delicious nonsense, well worth 4*.

Asterix and the 12 Works, under the direction of the artists themselves. Not based on one of their comics, but with their own script. Later converted to a comic. Good in itself, with the original writers and illustrators it is also a good script. They also know their own characters so that it doesn't become an embarrassing balance between nostalgia and being hip for the young viewers.

It remains a Belgian animation from the 1970s with the means and knowledge available at the time. But by staying so close to the comics in style and content, it has become a cult classic that has stood the test of time.
