The Twelve Tasks of Asterix

Incredibly overrated. It can make you laugh, but it’s nothing exceptional overall. The only part when I laughed out loud was when they were asking for an A38 form. Other than that, the remaining tasks have essentially the same course and the story itself feels like a loop that stops begin fun after a couple of turns. Fortunately, the film is not too long to get you tired, but two more tasks would have been unbearable. 65% (15/01/2009)

The only Asterix movie that isn’t even a loose adaptation of any of the Asterix comic books is paradoxically almost the best of them all (apart from Asterix versus Caesar). While the downfall of the other Asterix movies is the unsuccessful transfer of the intelligent but universally comprehensible humor of the books, here the creators managed to think up absolutely insane tasks performable only by gods and maintain the spirit of the adventures from the comic books.

Definitely my favorite film from the entire series. I have it ingrained in my mind and I had to see it many times. It is a beautiful critique of society, mainly bureaucracy, and the scene with the A38 pass is simply unforgettable. Both characters are entertaining, but once you see some of their earlier movies, you start to feel that both characters are somewhat exhausted. (07/04/2016)

One of the greatest legends of animation, it has the rare quality of finding something new and even funnier with each viewing. I confess that whenever I have my moment and start quoting movie catchphrases to my friends over a beer, sooner or later, I always end up with the 12 tasks: the Island of Delights, where they have no boars; the enchanter; the one Asterix turns into a wild boar; the monster that tasted good...... It's too much, genius is synonymous with the name of this smart gem. 100% (30/11/2016)
