All Guild Reviews of Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight
By Toutatis! Netflix quenches thirst for nostalgia with magic potion for the soul
Boasting a striking visual style and filled with hat-tips to the original comic book series, Netflix's five-episode adaptation is as indomitable as the characters in it.
Unlike his fellow Franco-Belgian comic book icon Tintin, Asterix has a rich history of representation in cinema and on television. While Tintin has inspired mainly the beloved Canadian cartoon adaptation and a criminally underrated feature film directed by Steven Spielberg, the adventures of Asterix the Gaul have spawned 18 films, 15 board games, 40 video games, and one theme park. The latest is a glossy Netflix mini-series, originally announced in 2021 but released only this week. Asterix & Obelix: The Big Fight is based on the 1964 comic of the same name, and will likely delight generations of readers who’ve grown up with the character.
