Plebs: Soldiers of Rome

Great ending to a very funny series, you can see they have spent a lot of money , on the production, Being made into a feature length Film was a great idea!

You can see the team who made this, have been watching other Roman themes movies.... The Characters have more lines which makes them more interesting & you do end up feeling for them when things get Difficult in the storyline.

The adult jokes are still there & work really well with the story. Strong female characters.

And of course the soundtrack is Ace, great reggae tunes.

Please think about making more , as we certainly need something to laugh about .

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."

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.

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.

A solid conclusion to Plebs, nicely rounding off the adventures of three lovable losers in Ancient Rome.

Marcus, Grumio and Jason enlist in the military with hopes of an easy ride, societal perks, and most importantly, no conflict. Of course, this is short lived as they are marched to the north of Europe to battle Barbarians. Naturally, the uptight Marcus does not assimilate well, unlike his slave and conflicted friend. After a farce in the face of conflict, the trio look to survive long enough to return home.

Most likely to capture attention of those who watched the series, the comedy here does not stray away from the fan-favourite incredulity of Marcus in response to the dozy idiocy of Grumio, supported by the positive womanising of Jason. It stays true to it's series-long approach and values, and moves at a great pace, keeping a simple plot interesting throughout. An easy watch, and a great sendoff for the trio of Plebs.
