Paul Evans If you think Epic Movie was bad, then try watching this one! The blame rests fully with the writing team, it is just dire, you almost have to feel sorry for the performers, as they try their best, but are totally up against it.Carmen Electra tries her, best, she looks great, but she has wrecked any credibility she had by doing too many of these poor films. The only surprise to come out of this film was to see how buff that guy from Eastenders had become. Sean Maguire looks in incredible shape, but sadly for him, this was a disaster role.I think even adolescent teens would find this brand of toilet humour an embarrassment, and simply not funny.Awful.

burnadrenaline When I started watching this movie, I knew I had entered a whole new level of b-movie fandom, because my tolerance for garbage had to have leveled up a lot to deal with this one. To be fair, I haven't seen 300 but I have taken an Ancient Greek and Roman history class so I know what happened at the battle. Where do I begin? One of the early gags involves a Chihuahua licking dog food off of someone's unmentionables. We see Leonidas meet Carmen Electra's Character and an attempt at a humorous take on the childhood of Spartan Children. This part was not great, but it didn't gross me out at least. As they advance to the battle, we learn that one of the Spartans is gay. We also learn that they make fun of Paris Hilton in this movie. I don't have a problem with that per se, but the way they did it was pretty stupid. Anyway, the troops meet each other and the battle takes place with a series of gags. I didn't laugh once watching this movie, I'll just interject that here. There is a dance battle scene that takes forever, and a "Deal or No Deal" gag. I think the guy with his shirt off from Persia was supposed to be funny as well. Anyway, spoiler alert, they find the goat path. What an awful movie. The gross "hump" gag, a stupid dance battle, and it seems way longer than it is. For serious cinematic masochists, watch this to toughen up before you pop in "Disaster Movie" , for everybody else, don't let curiosity get the better of you, it is exactly what you would expect it to be.

Lammasuswatch What can I say? How can a film be so unbelievably bad as this one is?Like other films in this franchise, "Meet the Spartans" was supposed to be a spoof on a particular film, with references to other movies or cultural references thrown in. In this case, the spoof object was "300", a cult film for some, a tedious pop video for others. I thought, just maybe "Meet the Spartans" may be more palatable than the pretentious "300", with some humorous spoofing added to the formula. I could not have been more wrong! "300" made its antecedent "300 Spartans" look like multi Academy Award material. And "Meet the Spartans" made "300" look like high art - a feat in itself!I didn't laugh a single time. I think laughing was supposed to be the point of it, but who knows? Indeed the thought processes, maturity, film-making skill and sense of direction of whoever was ultimately responsible for this dog's breakfast of a movie are not something I would like to investigate closely.In a film in which nothing could be said to be a high point, the really lowest point was an extended rap dancing sequence. (Don't bother asking what rap dancing was doing in this film!) This was an exercise in endurance - it just kept going on - and on - and on. And this sequence probably took up a tenth of the whole hour or so of storyline running time. Or it seemed like it did. But, I hear you say, the movie goes for 86 minutes! Well, after the end of the actual film storyline, the viewer gets to see (apparently all) the out-takes for another interminable period. Were these deemed too funny to be put in the film, or too unfunny, or too irrelevant? Your guess is as good as mine. The editor must have been barkingly high or dead drunk to have got through putting this film together.All I can say in conclusion is thank God I saw this film after taping it from free-to air television so I could watch it later. It allowed me to fast-forward past bits that got just too painful, and it meant that I never had to waste actual money on it. (Although I feel like sending the distributors a bill for my time spent and electricity expended, with an extra loading for having to work with noxious materials!) Not recommended! An outstanding candidate for the worst film I have ever seen. While the earlier movies in this franchise were often quite entertaining, the franchise is now clearly dead, and should be quietly buried for public health reasons.

OllieSuave-007 This is another movie spoofing a host of movies, most notably 300, where Spartan King Leonidas, armed with only leather underwear and a cape, leads 13 misfit warriors to defend their homeland against the invading Persians, which include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Autobots, a hunchbacked Paris Hilton and a shaved-head Brittany Spears.To me, it was just a lot of forced, weird comedy consisting of crude jokes and overly-done effects. A lot of the gags and spoofs were just mentioned and quick references, not really emphasized; I would have liked to see Brad Pitt and Angelique Jolie's characters spoofed more. Kevin Zorbo was funny, though, and I liked how they portrayed the look-alikes.The overall story was pretty boring and the film lacked the direction and spirit of the better spoof films like the Zucker Brothers' Airplane!, Top Secret!, the Naked Gun movies and the Scary Movie films. Those were real, truly funny spoof films that you should really go watch, versus this one.Grade D-
