Synopsis : 50 avant Jésus-Christ. César a soif de conquêtes. A la tête de ses glorieuses légions, il décide d’’envahir cette île située aux limites du monde connu, ce pays mystérieux appelé Britannia, la Bretagne.
La victoire est rapide et totale. Enfin… presque. Un petit village breton parvient à lui résister., mais ses forces faiblissent. Cordelia, la Reine des Bretons, décide donc d’envoyer son plus fidèle officier, Jolitorax, chercher de l’aide en Gaule, auprès d’un autre village, connu pour son opiniâtre résistance aux Romains…
Dans le village gaulois en question, Astérix et Obélix sont déjà bien occupés. Le chef leur a en effet confié son neveu Goudurix, une jeune tête à claques fraîchement débarquée de Lutèce. Ils sont censés en faire un homme. Mais c’est loin d’être gagné.
Quand Jolitorax arrive pour demander de l’aide, on décide de lui confier un tonneau de potion magique, et de la faire escorter par Astérix et Obélix, mais aussi Goudurix, car ce voyage semble une excellente occasion pour parfaire son éducation…

Mon avis : Ce quatrième opus des aventures d’Astérix, signé Laurent Tirard, est sans conteste le plus fidèle aux BD de Goscinny et Uderzo. Personnellement, je l’ai trouvé nettement supérieur à Astérix aux Jeux olympiques, mais en dessous du niveau atteint par le magistral Mission Cléopâtre.

Dans le désordre, voici ce que j’ai vraiment aimé :

Au niveau des comédiens
-          La prestation parfaite de Gérard Depardieu.
-          La facilité avec laquelle Edouard Baer s’est glissé dans les braies d’Astérix. Il apporte au personnage du petit Gaulois une forme de sagesse, une sérénité, un calme, un recul et un sens de la dérision qui lui vont très bien. Son timbre de voix, si personnel, est également un plus.
-          La finesse de jeu de Guillaume Gallienne.
-          Un Fabrice Luchini absolument impérial. Il en impose tout naturellement sans jamais en rajouter. Il est impeccable, même quand il y perd son latin…
-          La composition savoureuse de Valérie Lemercier.
-          La prestance tout-à-fait royale de la grande Catherine… Deneuve.
-          La fraîcheur et le charme de Charlotte Le Bon.

Au niveau de l’adaptation
-          La qualité des dialogues.
-          Le flegme tout britannique affiché par Guillaume Gallienne et Catherine Deneuve.
-          L’idée de traduire l’anglais de façon scrupuleusement littérale.
-          Les nombreux anachronismes placés à bon escient.
-          Les quelques clins d’œil à l’actualité (exemple : les sans-papyrus).
-          Le respect de l’antagonisme franco-anglais.
-          La scène d’anthologie qu’est la rencontre entre Astérix et Jules César. Le jeu très subtil des comédiens et la virtuosité de leur échange. C’est, pour moi, le grand moment du film.
-          L’introduction du thé en Grande-Bretagne.

Ce que j’ai moins apprécié :
-          Un manque de folie. Le film est trop maîtrisé. J’aurais aimé que Laurent Tirard soit un peu plus audacieux et lâche les chevaux.
-          J’ai mis un temps fou à reconnaître Dany Boon, lequel nous livre, à mon goût, une prestation en demi-teinte.
-          Il y a deux-trois scènes un peu inutiles, longuettes ou superfétatoires (le vol des Vikings / la danse entre Obélix et Miss Macintosh).
-          On aurait pu trouver un autre motif pour faire enfin connaître la peur aux Vikings. Le prétexte utilisé dans le film est un peu faiblard.
-          J’aurais aimé qu’on ajoute quelques spécificités typiquement british (la conduite à gauche par exemple)
-          Le jeu très moyen et parfois faux de Vincent Lacoste dans le rôle de Goudurix.

Conclusion :
Astérix et Obélix au service de Sa Majesté est un film sympathique et gentillet, presque trop conventionnel. On y sourit – très souvent certes – plus qu’on y rit. Il y a heureusement ça et là de jolis morceaux de bravoure. Mais, personnellement, je suis resté sur ma faim. Ce qui n’empêchera pas le film de Laurent Tirard de décrocher un vrai succès populaire. J’en suis convaincu.

Most of these senior citizens are not comfortable with the use of internet or are incapable of visiting the State Comptrollers office and thus
for them newspaper listings does the job. It familiarizes us with
the world and people who are making history. They also tend to
endear themselves to populations in times of severe duress and hardship by well funded relief efforts and other charitable
initiatives, which make them look incredibly social compared to corrupted governments.
