I disagree on the fact it's "that bad". It's not a great movie, nor a good movie, but it's an average movie. For me, it's better than the last two Asterix live action movies. Not too difficult you would say as there were really bad.

Most gags are meh. Some are extremely cringe bordering being racists. And some made me chuckle. Lots of guest stars, most being unknown outside of France or even to a lot of French people.

Guillaume Canet (Asterix) and Gilles Lellouche (Obelix) are friends in real life and you do see it which is nice as Asterix & Obelix will always be associated together. However, they are not the most logical choice for either Asterix or Obelix.

I would say it's a "you can see it" movie if you are an Asterix fan and it will work with kids. Still better to be French to understand parts of it.

It's between Volver (Pedro Almodovar) and 3-iron (Kim-Ki Duk).

Only seen them once. I will see Volver somewhere in the future, but I'm unlikely to see 3-iron again unless it was screened somewhere (which is a possibility as I'm lucky to be in a city with numerous old movies showings). I feel like it requires to be exactly in the right mood for it and I don't want to spoil my memory of it.

Thing is, in theory people would like that, but what's important is the quality of the writing. A badly written/directed prequel with The Rock and SLJ would be disgusting. A good written/directed Ted prequel, albeit with fewer people asking for it, would be more interesting.

What people wants is good shows, the topic is not that important.
