To be straight - people that do not know the original series, won't understand this movie. And it's a question if fans can like it.
It's so bad, that after using IMDB without registry, i registered to leave the firs review ever.
Hoped it to be at least 50% of what Les Visiteurs was, but thats not even 5%.
I know that french comedy is specific (mostly linguistical), so watching the translated version possibly spoiled some jokes, but even with that, i saw less than 5 jokes over whole movie.
It is not comedy enougth to be comedy movie, and the 3 minutes of lighting effect on the sword is not enougth for this to be fantasy movie.
It's not funny if you watch it with brains turn off, and not funny when you try to watch it with deeper analysis. It's just not fun.
I love absurd comedies, but without enougth density and good punch lines, the movie is just absurd. I adore Les Visiteurs, Monthy phyton and the holy grail, Brians life. But Asterix and Obelix movies are much funnier than this.
Its possibly just a bad scripted first year student intro movie for upcoming TV series, that won't be aired outside France.
