Our take

The invincible Gallic warriors are back, on a globe-trotting mission to save a Chinese empress. The latest live-action installment of Uderzo and Goscinny’s iconic bandes dessiné, this rambunctious dramedy features a starry cast including Vincent Cassel, Marion Cotillard and… Zlatan Ibrahimović?!
