Meet the Spartans: A review

Meet the Spartans: A movie review by Rhomus

Meet the Spartans, what a joke… figuratively speaking. A comedy that spawns from the usual antics of the team that made Scary movie, Superhero movie, and Date movie. My point of this whole matter is that they are all exactly the same. I don’t know how many times you can make the same movie and have it still be good. All of the comedy in the movie is a sort of lowbrow humor that is all extremely predictable.
My opinion of this movie I would think is evident at this point, I hate it… and it is actually the only movie that comes to my mind when I think of movies I hate. There aren’t really any parts of the movie I can say I honestly liked. It was like the same joke, over and over again. To be honest, I don’t know how I sat through it.
The theme of the movie is we follow the story of 300 (Which I haven’t seen, and maybe this movie would’ve been funnier had I seen the real thing) but we follow this particular story with a comedic twist.
The main characters are takeoffs of the various people in the actual movie. Though their appearances are slightly altered (Leonidas’ wife is Carmen Electra for instance) and well known pop culture icons are inserted into the mix. These specific people are obviously people that are “news worthy” and everyone knows about, so everyone get’s the joke.
As a conclusion: the style and the overall tactics that the director uses for this movie are exactly the same as every other movie of the type. In short, this movie possesses absolutely no originality whatsoever and makes me feel bad that I even sat through it.
