In the year 50 BC Gaul is occupied by the romans - nearly.

Learning of this potion, a Roman centurion kidnaps the druid to get the secret formula out of him. Written by Michael Zink

The first but one of the worst Asterix-films
5 July 2000 | by action-6 – See all my reviews

Asterix The Gaul was the first Asterix-movie and came out way back in 1967, and was based on the first Asterix-comic with the same name.

The movie is exactly the same as in the comic and there isn`t a single scene here that isn`t present in the cartoon. I can`t write about the plot and the characters because I only know the names in the Norwegian version of Asterix. Asterix the Gaul is for the fan of the series but there are others far better Asterix-movies out there. The best is Asterix and Ceasars` surprise(9/10).

It`s easy to see that Asterix from 1967 is an experimental movie, and the sequels are far better. 6/10
