2.5/4  Awuuh! Awuuh!
Let me start off by saying Meet the Spartans did a pretty decent job working its comedy into my veins. Although a lot of critics would have loved to just massacre this movie because they’d find it dreadfully unfunny, I on the other hand be... (read full)

0.5/4  Review - Meet the Spartans (2008)
Last year I decided that “Epic Movie” was the most eye-gougingly awful movie in existence. That was true until “Meet the Spartans” came out this year. Now we have a whole new low that I honestly never thought we’d be able to sink to. Here ... (read full)

1/4  Meet the Spartans Quick Review
Really bad, but somehow not quite as bad as Epic Movie or Date Movie. Still, I don't know why I keep watching these. Honestly, these jokes were old a year before this movie came out and five years from now they won't make a lick of sense.

3/5 "The 300" meets "Rocky Horror Picture Show"
  by Ron Braithwaite (El Indio, Texas United States)
"Meet the Spartans" is terrible but, then again, it's supposed to be terrrible. This is a deliberate spoof of the incredibly stupid "The 300", a movie that well deserves to be ridiculed.

The actual story of the courageous Spartan defense of the pass of Thermopolae...The Gates of Fire...is an fabulous tale of patriotism and heroism. It didn't deserve the comic, male model treatment as depicted in "The 300". Evidentally the producers/directors of "Meet the Spartans" felt the same way and spoofed the special-effects monstrosity posing as contorted history.

The last scene, shown as the credits are being reeled off, is a dance scene..."I WILL Survive!"...by the various weird characters in front of equally weird 'American Idol' judges. The judges get into the whole thing themselves with some doing kicks and gyrations from their judges' chairs. It is highly reminiscent of one of he last scenes...also a dance scene...in "Rocky Horror Picture Show" in which the characters all get into tights and wiggle around. Even the formal and objective, Dr. Scott, as a kind of objective witness, gets sucked up into the sexuality of the whole thing, bursts into song and lifts his 'paralyzed' leg to discover, to his amazement, it is also clad in tights.

Well, the "Rocky Horror" analogy is there but this film isn't the same weird masterpiece.

5/5 This movie is Hilarious
  by razrodude
I am so sick of stupid greased up he-man movies like Troy and 300, and it is very refreshing to finally see someone making fun of how incredibly gay those movies are. I enjoy violence as much as the next guy, but 300 was like some sort of homoerotic fantasy, and it was great to see it get ripped on by the makers of this fine film.

5/5 High Satire
  by G. Teslovich
I decided to check out why this movie has gotten so many one star ratings and with no presumptions I found myself actually being entertained by the satire, high and low burlesque and parody of many popular Hollywood movies, TV shows and personalities. The lampooning was spot-on for many star studded idols. If you approach this mock-epic with a light hearted openness you will find your reward in a few laughs and a "they shouldn't take themselves so seriously" a-ha.

3/5 Love Meet the Spartans!
  by Regina F. Enos (Boston MA)
I know this movie got bad reviews, but it is destined to become a cult classic. I love oddball comedies and this fills the bill. I loved it and when I saw the movie 300, the spoof of it was great!
