Plebs: Soldiers of Rome

I was surprised that plebs got a movie. And I am so happy they did as this is the ending us fans were looking for. Jason, marcus and grumio are back once again. Marcus has his 30th birthday coming up and does not know what to do with this milestone. Grumio is eating as always and jason comes up with a plan to bag him some woman, that being them enterting as roman soliders, but little do they know that they soon will have to soon actually fight. Theres a lot of fun just like in the show, and grimios antics especially always make me laugh. It translated to movie really well and it was overall a fun thing to watch. A nice but sad in a way ending.

Why do we have to write 600 characters? Who thought that number up? Was it decided by a team of high power executives in silicon valley or more likely a lower management nerd. Is it to discourage reviews regarding vapid excuses for comedy such as Plebs:Soldiers of Rome? Could be, it's frankly a tough job coming up with 600 characters concerning this pile of old cobbler's. I vaguely remember the Plebs TV show, mildly amusing after pub foder for the herbal cigarette enthusiast. A bit like The Inbetweeners set in ancient Rome. It wasn't without some charm however non of that charm has transfered to this tragically unfunny abomination.

Simply, if your a fan of the series you'll love this.

The film, which stars Tom Rosenthal and Jon Ponting amongst others, sees the Plebs gang join the army during peacetime - and then try their best to survive when war is unexpectedly declared.

The people who have given bad marks for this are utter morons. What is it you were expecting?

The whole idea of Plebs is that it is supposed to be stupid and deliberately rubbish.

It is actually bloody brilliant.

Beautifully done stuff from the boys. Some wonderful guest actors on the way and just a perfect end to years of hilarity.

I would like to gather the people that slagged this off together in one room and then let tigers eat them.

Or something equally Roman!!!!!!!

By the way this last part of my review is to use up the characters that I need to use otherwise it does not meet the strict criteria.

In the 1950s, using a comedy ensemble to make fun of war was a huge deal. A worldwide trend, in fact. This effort brings to mind the "CARRY ON" series that was a hit in England 3/4 of century ago. Nothing is to be taken seriously, there is no danger or jeopardy for the leads at any point, everything can and will be turned into a joke, and each character is a stereotype of some kind. There is nothing wrong with this type of film, there is indeed a market for it, but praising it as if were a sequel to MATRIX or LORD OF THE RINGS is pushing the envelope just a mite. Forgettable, light, frothy and fun. That's what your ticket gets you. ((Designated "IMDb Top Reviewer."
