Do you remember the god old days, when Asterix cartoons were a thing? when they were actually pretty decent? well be prepared to be majorly disapointed with this years terrible Asterix and Obelix: Mansion of the Gods. The film was completed in 2014 but given a UK voice over job ready for a 2016 release over the summer, using the voices of some of the biggest names in British film and comedy.....and Jack Whitehall.
This film is so badly voiced. They just don't match! Whoever thought Jack Whitehall would be a good pick for the voice of Asterix should be fired and never allowed to pick voice actors ever again. It feels like everyone reading is rushing through their lines for the most part and to top it all off the whole film just felt.....rubbish.
Now I loved the original animations but I feel like this new style of animation for the film just isn't that great. The voices are no way near close enough to the mouths of the animations, which yes I know this film wasn't made for a British audience originally but let be honest Studio Ghibli films aren't either and it isn't noticeable there right?
The story was boring, the voice acting didn't work and as a whole the film just didn't work for me. If you are a fan of the original films then run away as fast as you can! this film is a steaming pile of trash.
