I started watching this expecting to watch something similar to the old Asterix and Obelix films. This is totally different, but not in a good way (at least not for me).
The first annoying thing is the French used throughout the movie whenever someone from Britannia talks. I know they want to imitate Englishmen speaking French, but the result is horrible.
The scenes look awful. They look so artificial (the Galois village, the forest, the army). Even the grass looks artificial. Watch some scenes from the old Asterix movies (like Asterix vs Cesar or Asterix aux Jeux Olympiques) to see what I mean.
In the old movies, the characters were taking everything seriously in a comic way (remember Cesar, Brutus, Numerobis...). Here they give you the feeling that they don't really mean what they say, so much of the comic factor is artificial.
While I'd watch anytime one of the old Asterix movies, I will never see this one again.
