No pun intended - I loved the Asterix (and Obelix) comics when I was a kid. So I guess there is some baggage - and I guess that most watching this have some previous knowledge of the characters. Some more and some maybe less. I can only highly recommend to anyone to read at least some of the comics - they are good.
That said, the movies seem to hit the spot too. Of course comedy is in the eye of the beholder. So you have to really suspend your disbelief - and you have to indulge the silly humor this is serving. This also includes a character that is super beautiful (actually if you are into men, I reckon there are two that you could call pretty) .. and she is just breathtaking - I think I remember that being similar in the comics too.
I might have to do some re-reading myself I reckon ... this is as close to the comics or at least feels like it is, as it can get ...
