It's undoubtedly a five star, but there's just one thing so so much disappointing that I could not help not coming down to a single star.
Now it's all so well known that it goes almost without mention that the world doesn't like Asterix the Asterix way anymore.. that's boring and lame.. for obvious reasons. What we actually expect is that the world of Asterix, or be it anything doesn't matter, to be used as a medium for a Hollywood style formula roller coaster animation melodrama which should feel exactly like the Ice Age or Kungfu Panda or Lion King and the list goes on.. but just in another setup. So in this regard it's a full five star .. even the story was altered and tailor made to fit the style. Awesome 👍
The other important neo-lib aspects like putting in all the bits and pieces of a current day mindset, our very celebrated tech industrial notions, one "how dare you" Greta Thunberg girl, environmental concerns, zen z dresing, health concerns .. was all in place (well, could have been even better with a some kind of analogy to vaccine or mention of pandemic possibilities, but that's okay at least health was there). We also have got USA style amusement park, Roman collosium made to look like WWE styled wrestling setup accompanied by tv style commentar, and baseball styled cheering. That's all very good and upto the expectation. Hats off 🤠 .. no off .. 🎩 😔 that's right 👍
Even the quota character was not missed, we can not miss the one colored female commentator with 2020+ hairstyle as well. There was jukebox dj style music 🎵 🎶 that was so appropriate and matching. Great. No really really great... Thumbs up 👍
But where's LGBTQ? Where's that gone away huh .. not even a single gay couple? How could you .. what do the youngsters learn .. this is unforgivable, this one miss takes the whole thing down. So stupid.. so so disappointing.
