Plebs: Soldiers of Rome

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.

Fantastic and long awaited. Grumio continues to be the star. Missed the usual amount of reggae, which from the very first series was so wrong and yet perfect. Please, please, please do more. The humour is fast flowing and often basic, just what the doctor ordered. Plebs is probably the best comedy in the last 20 years, please don't go.... As a student of Latin in the early 1970s I learned through Grumio the slave (school booklet teaching method rather than rote learning ), it's amazing to find a parallel universe where Grumio really exists.

Escapism at its best and with bonkers humour , love it and always will.

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.

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."

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.
