ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

MoPoshy Absolutely brilliant

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

unbrokenmetal The idiotic cover almost stopped me from watching the movie, because it seemed to indicate this could be moronic rubbish like "Meet the Spartans" again, but fortunately it's something completely different. First, they really got their historical background right. The explanation how the Romans could conquer Gallia and Britannia - not simply by brute force, but let proxies fight their wars for them and fight tribes separately which were enemies of each other - is given better than in most serious movies about that period. Asking the question "were some slaves actually satisfied with their primitive life without any rights"? like Worthaboutapig is probably more realistic than the heroic rebels of Spartacus movies, since Spartacus was the exception not the rule when it comes to self-sacrifice, but it's all quite politically incorrect to ask, I bet.This is one of the funniest movies I've watched in the last couple of years. It's dominated by three women who fight against all odds ("I must warn you, I'm a Celtic warrior princess. I can kill a man in 17 different ways. 18, if you include cooking") which is of course unusual in the genre but works extremely well since their characters are so extremely different. Hide the DVD from your girlfriend, though, it may give her ideas...

deamond9 On the video cover, there's a back view of a girl in a short Roman skirt, and some text which says, "Does my Gluteus Meximus look big in this?"That one costume, and that one joke, is better than anything in the entire movie. I swear, it made me wonder of it's so much to ask that watching a movie be at least as entertaining as looking at the cover.All the women, even in the actual arena, are fully clothed in baggy fur. The sets are obviously cheep, jokes are just bad, it seems to have been made by people who don't know anything about movies. There's one good scene;In this movie the Tpits are depicted as always wearing severed rotting human heads around their necks like necklaces. In one scene the 3 (three) main characters are disguising themselves as 2 (two) Tpits. The first one has an actual head around her neck, but the second one has the third one standing inside her clothes pretending to be a severed head. I recommend instead;The ArenaSparticusMonty Python's Holy grail

gargoylejah At this this film was TRYING to be funny! OK, OK so it isn't a masterpiece of comedic cinematography...but, as an archaeologist, there were some rather chucklicious moments! The warrior-sister's moral conundrum (how can she go back to slaughtering people and chopping off their heads after she's had children?!) was brilliant...especially with the advice from the Pictish couple (complete with tattoos and severed heads around their necks!).The film actually surpassed the great, lumbering fiasco Gladiator and Troy in its accuracy of the costume, settlements, etc. Heck, they even got the British Iron Age Tribal names right! It helped that most of the Celtic scenes were filmed at Butser Ancient Farm. The only really serious faux pas in that arena were the Roman legionaries' equipment...jeeez, if they really borrowed props from Gladiator, you would have thought they could have scored a few accurate suits of armour! That said, I thought the depiction of the smarmy, effeminate Romans was excellent! You could almost HEAR Eddie Izzard lilting "Helloooo.....we are the Romans! Yes, we are!" Bottom line...don't go into this film expecting to laugh your arse off...but it is worthy of a few grins and snickers.

TheOtherFool Close to such classics as Glitter and Midnight Tease we find this incredibly dull spoof (?) of Gladiator and other Roman Era films, with some sort of odd feminism throughout the entire 'movie'.When 1 of three sisters, nobody less than an English princess, is kidnapped by the Romans, the other two set out to free her. Some silly gags, idiotic characters and stupifying fighting scenes later I had not laughed but once, when the character with the oh so funny name Worthaboutapig is beheaded, as I hoped that would finally shut her up. But too bad...If you're an individual with any sense left, leave this film alone. In fact, stay away from it as far as possible. This movie is definitely worth much less than a pig. 1/10.
