Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This is a very funny movie. Just finished watching it and can only say I was pleasantly surprised. It is full of little jokes, but unlike the moronic "meet the Spartans", these jokes are clever. Typical English wordplay and silly modern day parallels and plays on pretty much every cultural stereotype. It seems like this movie is full of strong fun roles for women and the guys just don't really count. Italians speaka lika da pizzamanna.. its actually funny to see in a movie like this and Celtic warrior women looking for love in a very "special" way.Considering the crap thats been coming out of Hollywood and labeled "comedy" its hard to imagine this one got overlooked.

Great British Humour. Under rated to the Maximus. I think this movie is hilarious. If you're well versed in History or the Roman Empire, you will get a good laugh out of this. Gladiatress starts of as a typical British comedy, of the likes I haven't seen since Monty Python.It's set in Britain, around the fall of the Gaul's and Caesars' interest in Britain grows. As he investigates further, he hears warrior princesses run Britain. He has to see this!! So, the story focuses on a little British tribe with pathetic men and Warrior women as leaders. Great show for you women out there. The story centers around 3 sisters, "Dwyfuc" the princess warrior of the tribe, "Worthaboutapig" who's worth about a pig, not less than a pig!! And "Smirgut the Fierce" who's loosing her fierceness because of childbirth.When the Romans kidnap "Dwyfuc", her sister "Worthaboutapig" gets chosen to get her back. When "Smirgut the Fierce" helps her, there adventures land all 3 sisters in the gladiator ring facing "Schlaffwaffe The Goth". From there the plot just thickens!!

Hadn't heard anything about this film but spotted that it had most of the cast from Smack The Pony so thought it might be worth a watch. I felt it wasn't as funny as the their series, which I think is just OK. The story ans script are very poor. I watched some of the extras and they talk about how quickly the guy wrote it, well it shows. Not to mention that I don't believe the port of Deal is between Ramsgate and Sandwich, but then again I don't think they were going for accuracy ;) However, despite all that I thought it was entertaining. I think it boils down to the fact that those girls just make me laugh, just them standing in a muddy field amuses me!?? Would I recommend it? Well probably not, I think you'd be better off getting an old Blackadder out, same type of jokes but at least they were original 15 years ago.

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.
