Christian Clavie VS Clovis Cornillac


I think Christian Clavie did so much for the role!He is a true comedian!He might have looked a bit old to be Asterix,but he is so much fun.The new guy,he was good,but nothing like the first one!I think he lacked humour.
I don't know,maybe it's just because I liked the first 2 films better!

I love Christian Clavier. I was so worried when I heard he wasn't going to be Asterix anymore. I didn't think anyone else could do it.
But I was wonderfully surprised by Clovis Cornillac. I think that in terms of looks, he was very much more Asterix, and just his overall performance was more Asterix Le Gaulois material.
I'm not saying that Christian wasn't amazing, and that he shouldn't have continued, but I think that Clovis was a fantastic replacement.

Christian was the best Asterix. Hands down. Clovis had nothing to compete with him.

I absolutely agree. Christian Clavier is the best Asterix by far!

Christian Clavier had the right nose to play Asterix! Clovis only had the scowl... both have admirable qualities, but Christian was by far the better Asterix.

What is the story behind Christian not being Asterix in this movie ?

reply

Christian Clavie should be in this movie. Clovis wasn't good not funny and cute like Christian. By the way why didn't he played in this film?

reply

Neither.

It's quite hard to top Christian Clavier in comedy, the guy is marvelous.
So replacing him with an average guy will obviously be felt tremendously.
