As opposed to the TV series where Terence Hill did a rather weak and watered out portrayal of Lucky Luke this movie does an extraordinarily tremendous job! Everything you saw in the comics you will experience here; from the personalities of the characters to the colorful sceneries of this stylized Wild West, plus you get a little modern update which only makes it more enjoyable. Even though I haven't seen anything else with Eric & Ramzy I must say they are flawless in playing Joe and Averell Dalton. Joe is the stubborn, bossy hothead he's always been and Averell is an utter moron who constantly aggravates his brother, mostly resulting in a merciless battering. Til Schweiger does pretty good as Lucky Luke, keeping his head cool and always being one step ahead. Too bad he doesn't have that much screen time, but perhaps that is something to expect in a sequel.
On the whole, this is a nice movie and those who watch it ought to have an open mind and not mind American cowboys speaking French or people dressing mainly in primary colors like in an old western movie.
