Plots(1)
The only thing that Gauls really, truly fear is that the sky might fall on their heads ... and it looks as if that is about to happen. A terrible thunderstorm is battering the village. To make matters worse, the druid Getafix, who might be able to help them, has been knocked unconscious. Fleeing the village only Asterix and, after some hesitation, Obelix remain to face the Romans, who see this as their chance to conquer the last part of Gaul. (official distributor synopsis)

Definitely the gloomiest Asterix. The atmosphere of doom and destruction may be too real at times, especially when I consider that this is really a kid’s movie. The humor (which is one of the best things about the movie) is mainly thanks to Getafix, who suffers from amnesia after being hit by Obelix's menhir. If I remember correctly The Big Fight was actually my first Asterix movie (as for the comic books, “Asterix and the Golden Sickle" was excellent).

A typical cheerful fairy tale, this time about how the druid Panoramix has gone completely mad and the dumb villagers have to face both the insistent Romans and a cunning soothsayer. And since we already know our two heroes well, it's not without roasted wild boar, a good beating and, of course, the wacky and omnipresent humour inherent in all Asterix adventures. 80%

This is one of those Asterix movies that has some really good moments, there are entertaining elements here, but at the same time there are places that are completely dull and uninteresting. I consider the fortune-teller to be one of those uninteresting characters, which is a bit of a problem because he is important to the whole story. However, it was precisely because of him that I didn't enjoy the movie as much.
