Editorial Reviews

The well-known little village from the Asterix and Obelix-comic books is in trouble: It is the last place not controlled by Rome. When Tax collector Claudius Incorruptus does not get his money from the villagers, Julius Caesar himself comes to the place to see what's so special about their resistance. A special magic potion, prepared by the village's druid, gives incredible power to those who drink it. And Obelix, who fell into the pot as a child has been invincible ever since. With the help of Tullius Destructivus, an intrigeur, the Romans try to get Obelix and the druid into their hands in order to wipe the little village off the map, when the last potion of it's stock has been used up. But each individual also has some plans of his own...

This review is from: Asterix et Obelix - Contre Cesar (Original French Version) (DVD)

I was happy to see this in DVD format because I wanted to show it to my classes in French but when it arrived I found it did not have English or any subtitle features. I could have bought the original VHS, but waited for the DVD for the subtitles. Dommage.

What a FUN movie! Great Special effects and GREAT story! Benigni spontaneity is better then ever. Depardieu always a favorite. The two together are priceless. Make sure you buy a version with English subtitles to thoroughly enjoy the movie, that is if you are not fluent in French....
