I love the TV show so I thought this would be fun to see. It had the feeling that this was a great idea but then we need to fill time to make a decent running time, with little thought to the content. Some jokes overdone especially the Roman numerals. I found the funniest bits of the movie were the little references to The life of Brian, which probably shows my age. I think kids who love the show will enjoy this movie more than I.

When my children were younger we used to watch the TV show Horrible Histories . I'm not sure they were into it as much as I was to be honest but it really made me laugh as well as being informative , so what on earth happened with the movie version to make it so bad ?

While the young Emperor Nero must battle his scheming mother Agrippina for ultimate power, Celt queen Boudicca gathers an army in Britain to repel the rotten Romans. Mixed up in this battle for liberation are the teenage Atti, a reluctant Roman soldier, and Orla, a young Celt with dreams of becoming a warrior like Boudicca.

There are so many things wrong with this film , it would be to long to list them all but here are the main problems .

Firstly , where are the main cast from the TV show? . They seem to have be replaced by different ( some more well known ) actors but it's doesn't work at all. Sorry fans of Emilia Jones and Sebastian Croft but they stank up the screen.

Secondly , it's not funny . Not even a little bit and that's unforgivable .

Thirdly who decided to make it a musical??? The songs are terrible and make a bad film into a terrible one.

If you are going to make a TV show into a film at least watch what made the show popular and do more of the same.

Horrible, just horrible.

As an adult I try to watch the tv programmes whenever I can.The film is neither as amusing or sharp as its tv parent.However it passes a pleasant 90 minutes.
