Lucky Luke

About halfway through, it's classic comic book Lucky Luke with all the trappings of a feature film, and it's a joy to watch. Not only because of the precise Jean Dujardin and the many jokes, but also because of the beautiful production design and direction, which plays beautifully with every shot. But then Luke hangs up his gun and it goes downhill. With the romantic plot comes a completely different kind of humor, suddenly it drags and only the ending corrects the impression a bit. It's a shame, because if the whole film had the level of the first half, it could have been on par with the second feature Asterix, and quite possibly could have competed with Lemonade Joe.
