I think that Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer realized their movies suck so bad, since they can not climb the "I'm original or funny" ladder, they must go in the opposite direction as fast as possible. Yes it was like YouTube clips put together by a 9th grade Audio/Video Club. But look at the sheer brilliance of how they picked the most boring material that can be gathered at the time. Happy Feet with a black gansta attitude? American Idol and Dancing with the Stars reviewers? I mean truly think they said to themselves "what can we add now? Quick turn on the TV. Hey American Idol - put that in there. Hey Miami:CSI put that..no wait dont put that in there, it's funny. Ok look at youtube for an idea. Wait how about a transformer with a youtube video on it? Hurry up, this script needs to be done by tomorrow morning". So I give it a 10 for being the ultimate unfunny, boring rehash of unfunny, boring pop culture references that will definitely leave anyone between 11-70 wondering "didnt the actors who read the script realized this is lame?"

As much as I understand why people love artsy movies like Schindler's List, which is in fact a good movie, what I do enjoy the most is a good comedy. It's no wonder I liked this movie, really, as I've seen every Family Guy As much as I understand why people love artsy movies like Schindler's List, which is in fact a good movie, what I do enjoy the most is a good comedy. It's no wonder I liked this movie, really, as I've seen every Family Guy episode to date, and Scary Movie 1-4, and I loved them all. It seems some people are under the impression that pop-culture references are not jokes. But the point of a joke is to make you laugh, and that's also the point of pop-culture references. With that out of the way, on to the actual review. Meet the Spartans is a sea of pop-culture references, that doesn't border on being overkill, it throws itself headlong into overkill. To truly enjoy this movie, you may need a strong knowledge of American culture, so if you live in the USA, you are all set. But if you live in Europe, you would benefit from studying up on general USA life. I am a European myself, and I can say this, watching Family Guy and South Park really helps. If you enjoy these series, or Scary Movie, you are much more likely to enjoy this movie. It's overflowing with hilarious pop-culture references and, while short on original jokes, it works fine anyway. So, go see it, unless you're hooked on The Godfather. And to all the people who think the ones who like this movie are idiots, I am 14 years old, and English is not my native language. Yet, here I am, writing this elaborate review, proving that you don't need to be stupid to see this movie. In fact, it's the complete opposite. You need to be intelligent to enjoy this movie. Perhaps you will see the movie, perhaps not. If not, you are definately missing out on something great. And with that, I leave you all to your thoughts. Expand

But despite that, to settle the results, this movie was surprisingly good. It is very pleasant, the acting was terrible, but from what I saw, they intrigued me, their ideas are very basing and never off colour when relating to each movie. Anyways I thought it was a blast, much better than last year's Epic Movie crap. And the quality was actually very good, good screenplay, and good script too. Expand

Meet The Spartans speeds by in a single harrowing day. It grips you in a vise of suspense that Kiefer Sutherland couldn't hope to match on 24, even with that show's tricked-up editing. There are no tricks up the sleeve of writer-director Aaron Seltzer. Most of the time his camera hunkers down rock-steady and observes. The subject is humanity and its oppression. And like the best political films, its focus is intensely personal. Expand

Brilliant. This movie marks a new step in cinematic evolution. The heritage of Goddard and Truffault has been safeguarded. An art-house movie that with minute detail gives a postmodern interpretation of a historical dialogue.

___________REVIEW STARTS HERE-------------------------------------------------------->
Meet the Spartans is not a movie to watch alone.
However, even worse would be watching it with a girlfriend because the gags are focused on man's things. The best way of watching it is with friends, especially if you like games(there are a few references to them)
this movie wasn't even meant to be good, and that's what makes it so good.
bad playing, pop references,bad special effects.
to me it was a nice movie,with some really marvelous scenes, playing on popular culture
every man is different: you may like it hate it, but you won't change it (if everyone was the same then there wouldn't be wars, no good or bad movies (just average)
SO....
i wonder what do you expect from a spoof because i got what i wanted ( a stupid movie based on another and making fun of it)

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie was a **** disaster. Me and my friend paid like primetime money for the tickets. It ended up being so bad it was good. Idk my friend would really review this as, but to me it was worth the money and more. I made a comment after the movie that it looked like this entire movie was made in windows movie maker.

I would watch it again and laugh ridiculously hard. Some of the 'genuine' humor was really bad and flat. Not as good as 300 in production quality but whatever. It's from the guys that saw 300.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Meet the spartens is a intreguing film. The character development is all over the place in a way thats hard to understand. It took me 3 rewatches to put the pieces together for this one. Once i finally understood the concepts behind the movie i can give it a solid 10.

The bond between Leonidas and his son bob is the embodyment of mythological folklore from the time. When they faught eachothrr they faught for fun. At the end Leonidas sings and dances due to his victory.

It's interesting that most people gave this movie either the lowest or the highest rating. Anyway, the average so far is 2.7/10, which seems to show that keeping our sense of humour is as difficult as keeping our money these days.

C'est donc particulièrement débile, gras, vulgaire et au ras de la moquette... et une suite quasi-ininterrompue de conneries comme on peut s'en douter... Pourtant et contre toute attente, c'est globalement sensiblement meilleur qu'un Scary Movie -ou moins lamentable- et j'ai personnellement pas mal ri à pas mal de ces infâmes conneries que les Spartacouilles nous balancent n'importe où et n'importe comment.

On rit surtout au début et au milieu (non, ce n'est pas sale -quoique....) mais beaucoup moins vers la fin où la fatigue de la débilité se fait nettement ressentir. En tout cas, la grognasse Carmen s'est jointe à la fête et remplit certainement son office de chaudasse : on la sent (enfin) dans son élément et on voit bien (c'est écrit sur sa figure) que c'est une fille vulgaire.

Absurde et faisant feu de tout bois, cette pantalonnade sans pantalon qui ose tout est tout de même une sacrée surprise en soi :n'oublions pas que c'est de l'humour américain après tout.... Je l'ai vu quand il est sorti et viens de le revoir : l'impact est resté le même, la trivialité scatologique également ! A voir avec modération.

There a few jokes about Britney Spears shaving her head, Paris Hilton's arrest, but it could be more funnier if Friedberg and Seltzer were trying. Maguire does a good mediocre impression of Gerard Butler, Carmen Electra the model who also was Date Movie, is making a career of Friedberg and Seltzer's spoofs.

The first 15-20 minutes of the movie had some funny lines-gags but it still needed some help. Not worth the money to see it. I did like the part where he goes and sees the oracle.

This movie sucks, but all in all that's what he wanted to achieve so he does a great job. But the film doesn't even entertain and it doesn't make you laugh so it's worse than the worst.

At times you will feel insulted by its outright stupidity and at other times you will feel deep regret for giving time to Meet the Spartans. So while there is little quality and even less purpose to watch it, there are a few redeeming qualities, but not many. And there are certainly not enough to warrant a single viewing let alone a purchase. Expand

I can say about this movie? is bad, bad, bad. Does not entertain much, bad actors, mocks good movies, history nonexistent. It has 3 or 4 scenes that make you laugh, but man! could not make it better? much it cost?

The only thing that kept me from giving this movie a 0 was the part were king leonites was snapping Persians with a wet rag. This movie was only funny maybe ten minutes out of the eighty. This movie was terrible and valgar. If someone wants a good comedy they should watch Mr. Bean's holiday. If any one says that you have no sense of humor after watching this movie tell them to go re-think their life. This movie was awful for that I overly generously give it a one out of ten. Expand

This movie is chock full of terrible humour, if it can be called that. We know this. We knew this before the movie came out, we knew this during its theatrical run and, six years after its release, we still know this. As a comedy, this filmThis movie is chock full of terrible humour, if it can be called that. We know this. We knew this before the movie came out, we knew this during its theatrical run and, six years after its release, we still know this. As a comedy, this film fails on all counts, because it's brutally unfunny. This film represents the very worst of American comedy. This is comedy that's gone through liposuction, and is suffering the immediate after-effect. It's painfully boring, painfully unfunny and painfully painful.

And what makes this even worse is the fact that Seltzer and Friedberg could actually be... talented. Bear with me for a moment, let me explain. Look at this film. While the humour and the parody (i.e. the reason we're watching the movie) fail, this film is competently made. The camerawork's quite good, as is the lighting, and I think, if it wasn't a comedy movie, the writing could be acceptable. If Seltzer and Friedberg were to sit down and try to write a decent story with decent dialogue that relied in no way on humour or wit, it would be decent.

It wouldn't be astounding, but it'd be decent. If they pushed the actors far enough, they could deliver good performances, I'm sure of that. I seriously doubt that all of the guys in this film are actually bad actors. Greg Sestero isn't a bad actor, as much as The Room will make you think otherwise. And I think a lot of the cast of this film could give decent performances. Not great, mind you, but decent. I think, if this movie were different, not a parody film but an actual movie, it would be decent. Certainly not great, probably not good, and maybe not even average, but it wouldn't be as absolutely god awful as this was. This film is a failure on almost all counts, and shouldn't exist.

This film is nothing but another terrible parody of movies by the same guys who directed Date Movie. Like always they contain nothing but stupid humor, dull gags and plot less situations. In other words I thought the film was "utterly dreadful".
