Last night, I watched "Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom." on Netflix.
It's a live action family comedy adventure film based on the French comic albums originally created in 1959. This film is actually based on an original story and not adapted by the stories.
I have always been a huge fan of Asterix and Obelix since I was a young kid, and this is the first time I've seen a live action version of the characters, even if this is the fifth film in the franchise.
It's a good and funny film if you're a fan of the characters and you know the humour behind them.
Now, as for the slight bad points to this film, The "English" dubbing is horrendous, A mix of EastEnders meets Carry On OTT horrendous dub and it does slightly make it harder to enjoy the film, you do get distracted by it.
Other points are that the actor who portrays Asterix should have been a lot smaller and he was not as brave as the comic book character is.
The story was alright and they did a good job with the humous names of the newer characters from China.
I actually liked it and I will look out for the other movies on streaming if I can.
I shall rate this flick a score of 6/10.
