Meet the Spartans*

http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809923638/infoAfter seeing the poster I did guess that this was another "Scary movie"-like film and therefore, really should have avoided it! However, I am such an avid fan of 300, I simply HAD to watch its parody in Meet the Spartans.

But, as with the two Scary Movie films I watched (1 and 2), it left me totally disappointed. Rather than making me laugh, a great deal of it just seemed offensive and poorly done - also come on! A dance off?? A "yo momma" competition?? (n)!

In general, the movie mostly relied on vulgarity, especially "strong language", and anything that seemed even remotely "funny" to the writers/directors/producers.

But, to be honest, I did not expect much.. either from the movie itself, or from the 13 great Spartan warriors Spartans who set out to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, and a hunchbacked Paris).

Rating: 3/10. The plot gave it that high score. :)

Jason, stop watching nonsense. "There Will Be Blood" and other great movies are out there, but yet, I constantly see you reviewing rubbish! Please tell me you downloading this nonsense from torrents, and ain paying cinema prices to watch these movies...

P.S.

Watch "There Will Be Blood"
