Directed by - Claude Zidi

Written by - Claude Zidi, Gérard Lauzier (based on the comic book by René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo)

Starring - Christian Clavier, Gérard Depardieu, Roberto Benigni

 

"Drawing inspiration from the very popular graphic novel about the titular Asterix and Obelix, two members of a country village of Gaul who, during the times of the mighty Romans, were able to safeguard their own independence. 

 

But this film is rather devoid of any creativity or ideas, and it is dull as well as somewhat inconsequential. Despite the big names involved, Asterix and Obelix Take on Caesar is painfully unfunny and unadventurous, as well as almost immediately forgettable."
