First, I gotta say: 9 points from 100? Seriously? SERIOUSLY? It's not THAT bad. Bad it still is though, but I have to confess I liked some parts of this crazy movie. I guess I'm stupid then, but ... whatever.

There are some entertaining and even funny elements to this terrible movie, but most of the time you will wonder why you paid someone to see it. 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'm with Jim C... It's not that funny and the acting is terrible. Let's give it a 10!

It was the worst movie I ever saw. The jokes weren't funny at all.

Some movies are good and other ones are not. some people don't like Monty python and some do. Reason why i'm talking about this is you don't have to like this movie because of it's kind of humor. however we can say this kind of things about any movie in world as well as music,games, ___________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)… Expand

Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have successfully destroyed what the Wayans Brothers started, with the help of Carmen Electra, Craig Mazin and Ken Davitian. Witless, terrible.

I don't like this movie, unfunny, bad humor, a Persian is a Rapper, Worst movies in 21th century. 300 movies is better than this unfunny movies.

The worst movie i have ever seen. The biggest problem: it desperately TRIES to be funny, but it certainly is not. It if full of crude and bad humor, bad acting and no story whatsoever: this movie excists only of events from the real 300 movie. i REALY can't believe this piece of garbage made it to the cinema.

These people should of really stopped at scary movie 3 date movie was crap scary movie 4 even more crap than date movie epic movie even more crap than scary movie 4 see the pattern??

I'm just putting a 10 for fun. I haven't actually seen the movie though but the trailer looked simply marvelous! But the ratings are extreamly low so I guess it isn't what I intended, so I simply must go watch this little parody of the great movie 300.

Quite possibly one of the least funny movies you'll ever see. The worst part is the director/writers who consider themselves the current king's of parody don't actually realize it's only because no one else is doing them.

I can describe this in a nutshell: THIS IS SPARTA!! (kicks Jason and Aaron into the pit) I haven't watched this movie and judging by the trailers and the exclusive clips, I don't want to!

What a thoroughly dreadful ‘film’. I had expected it to be crass and in bad taste, but it was far worse than I'd anticipated. I shudder to think that such large sums of money are spent making such garbage when there are millions of fellow humans in desperate need. Meet The Spartans was intended as a piss-take of the epic 300, but is nothing but an endless series of unfunny and agonisingly bad digs at today’s pop culture and 300’s homo-erotic elements. At least half of the film is taken up with pointless with ‘parodies’ of Happy Feet (a jive-talking penguin ‘dude’, farting and spewing out liquid faeces is funny?), Deal or No Deal and America’s Next Top Model among others. We are then subjected to equally pointless ‘parodies’ of pop celebrities, including a hunchbacked Paris Hilton and a shockingly poor taste, gutter level portrayal of a gibbering, mentally disturbed Britney Spears shaving her head. If you are a brain dead teenage boy on rock, valium and a whole bottle of scotch you may find this ‘film’ mildly amusing. There is a good reason why Meet The Spartans has achieved the lowest rating ever public on rottentomatoes.com – 3 out of 100. To quote: “Meet The Spartans scrapes the bottom of the cinematic barrel”. Yes indeed. I want that 1 hour and 25 minutes of my life back.… Expand

How do these films keep getting an audience?and surely it would have been much funnier if the guys didn't look in great shape! these movies are bizarre,they seem aimed at 4 year olds ,yet have numerous sexual references and images

I am giving this a 10 because I think you need to re-between the lines. 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?"… Expand

There was one scene, that made me smile, but I've already forgotten which scene that was, because the other 63 3/4 minutes were disgusting and completely unfunny. Not even this "300"-crap deserves such a parody !

id agree with most of these reviews, i went too watch it in the cinema instead of bowling and i have to say i left within 15 minutes, wasted 10quid on a film that sucked so bad, too many pathetic witless jokes, parodies over and over again which make this 1 of the worst films ive ever seen. ive seen the scary movie films and enjoyed them, but this is an abomination of what a spoof film really is.

I was amazed by how Meet the Spartans could so shamelessly reuse so many 'jokes' in just 80 minutes.

Quite possibly one of the worst films i have ever had the misfortune to see. I actually owe one of my friends 65 minutes of life as payment for forcing them to watch this piece of trash. However i paid it back by letting them watch blade runner directors cut! That said meet the spartans is a terrible film and 9/11 was funnier. Fact.

One of the funniest films i have ever seen. Films like Clerks or Superbad, wich i was forced to watch, are terrible. It definately beats scary movie 4 though which was my favorite film. The bit with britney spears was hilarious, she got kicked down the well. Lol. Serves her right for being bald.

my sister actually liked this movie and it made me want to slap her in the face. this movie is the worst movie ever conceived by man. Whoever keeps on making these movies should get a job at mad tv. i liked scary movie 1 and that's only because it was something new at the time. i can't say this movie's plot sucked because i liked 300 but I'm only 15 and i thought this movie was immature. the jokes were all dumb and their was nothing good about this movie. i gave it a 1 because it made me happy when it was finally over.… Expand

Wilhelm B. is either a troll or a complete moron.

Awfull it was about as funny as the plague. Crap actors crap actresses and crap writers. Be ashamed at this poor work. Nobody above 15 would give this anymore than a 1.

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.

I think this film is excellent and i watch it every day because it if so funny and u should bring meet the Spartans 2 out and i would buy it i think it is and excellent film.

I haven't seen this movie yet. you've all spoiled it for me. the rating of 0 is for all you spoil sports. can't you at least wait for everyone to see the movie before you start trashing it? I'm very disappointed and i don't mind telling you.

Phil, I love Digimon, so shut up. Anyways, this movie pretty much signals the end of the genre. It has come a long way from the endless wit seen in Airplane and The Naked Gun movies. Sure, it has been dying since the mid-90s, but this movie should pretty much be the last nail in the coffin of spoof-comedies. It makes me sad, but at least we'll always have Hot Shots to look back on.

Someone needs to stop these two lunatics from making "movies".

Kenny, its "They're" not "There". Plus, this movie looks absolutely despicable.

This is the worst movie everrr!!! Their was sooo many parts in the previews that worn't even in the them movis ( say hello to my little friend, spiderman your fired) what i swith this totaly messed upo movie????

HA HA HA HA HA, I recognize all the allusions to pop-culture in 2007! That must mean I'm clever and witty, just like the screen writers! I don't even have to think about it- just BOOM! I recognize it- that must mean it's funny. (really though- movies like this just make me angry and sad with the world).

A young man I mentor asked to go see this movie and being a 55 year old open minded individual I decided to try it without reading the reviews. What a mistake I made. Garbage, absolute garbage and I paid $6.50 a ticket plus concessions but more importantly, exposed a teenager to lower than life behaviors - parody or not.

What I found especially annoying was that there were so many MORE opportunities to spoof "The 300" that they missed, and I already had it in my head ready to view them on the wide screen. "The 300" was a rather over-blown gladiator flick with self-indulgent aspirations of artfullness that were totally absurd. I looked forward to seeing "300" shredded in "Meet the Spartans". Instead, I got to view some feeble adolescent slapstick stretched to 60 minutes. Shame on the producers for having so badly squandered a good idea on such trash as this. I hope when released on DVD, the manufacturer will have the sense to use re-recordable media.… Expand

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 was absolutely atrocious... enough said, I at least thought I would get a bit of a laugh out of this but the idea of this movie is a laugh in itself!

This should be enough to get their WGA membership revoked.

Quite simply the worst movie I've ever seen. I wasn't expecting brilliance, but I smiled maybe three times throughout the entire thing. Mostly just an excuse to have awful gay jokes and disgustingly stupid gross-out gags.

This movie is such a piece of s**t that I don't even want to talk about it. Watch literally anything else instead.

The only funny thing about this movie was the trailer. This was truly the worst most utterly crap movie in the history of crap movies.

i was bored and i had 10 bucks. i had two choices. stare at a wall all night, or spend 10 bucks. i went, i laughed, i was entertained. the movie wasnt the best but it did its job, thanks!

This film is the worst film I ever saw. I wasted my money for this film and now I am regretting it. If you think this film is brilliant or good then you must find most things in everyday life very funny. This film was like some other films, commercials, and celebrities and their problems mixed together. The best part of this film was when it ended. I did find VERY FEW parts of the movie some what hilarious, but thats about it.… Expand

Utter rubbish. The worst film ever made, I think.

To begin with this film looked promising with some very childishly giggleing moments, but as the film went on the gags began to stale and i became bored with the cheesy and poor jokes, the GTA reference was quite amusing yet the end song with American Idol was rather boring, a somewhat poor sequel to the funny Epic Movie....

Painful to watch.

Terrible. Completely, Utterly, Terrible. It left me sitting there trying to figure out towards the end if what they were saying was actually meant to be funny. About 500 jokes too many. Worst film i have ever seen.

WACKY POP CULTURE REFERENCE MONTAGE! This movie will be outdated by the time is comes out on DVD, just like its material by the end of production.

I have a friend...well, had a friend. His name was Mike. Mike was generally a happy kid. But unfortunately, a simple kid. You see, he was fooled by the promising trailers for Meet The Spartans. Poor guy, went to see it opening night.... A few hours later I receive a phone call... Mike was found in the back of the theater. He had eaten his own hand, suffocating himself...

There aren't any jokes, just endless pop culture references! It's not funny just because you say it! There has to be humour involved!

In all honesty, this movie isn't nearly as bad as it is being made out to be. Apparently everyone is jumping on the "Ooh, the critics thought it was awful so im just mindlessly agree with them" bandwagon. Sure, the jokes were mostly pop culture references and even those were hit-and-miss, but honestly good comedy is hard to come by these days. IT pulled a few laughs out of me, and although I didn't love it, it fullfilled its purpose.… Expand

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

Best movie ever!

Best movie ever!

This movie is an insult to anyone who has an IQ over 4.

You'd think that a film would actually attempt to catch the user's attention in the opening scenes. Not this film. It starts right out with the bestiality, torture, and groin "jokes" that were not funny in the least. We're not sure where it went from there since we didn't make it much further than 5 minutes. What a stinker.

Wilhelm, I can understand what you're saying, as I've also seen every Family Guy episode and Scary Movies 1-4 (I wasn't a fan of 4, though). However, a piece of toaster strudel would have enough knowledge of pop culture to get every reference in this film, and the piece of toaster strudel would still find the film insufferable. This film makes the Scary Movie series look like the original Star Wars trilogy. The two writers who also directed this, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, are basically prostitutes who get money from mentally impaired 10-year-olds for shameless references mixed with Z-grade slapstick. An online petition should be created in the vein of the one for Uwe Boll: to stop these morality-devoid plagiarizers from ever making another film!… Expand

These two incompetent idiots should be ashamed of their work...any other person would have lost their job for producing such rubbish.....this story is based on a real event where three hundred sacrificed themselves...and to have these two despicable people make fun of this is abhorrent...it's like making fun of Schindler's List or the holocaust.

American Idol reference might have been funny when it premiered in 2003, but they aren't funny any more. All the jokes tried too hard and despite the fact that I saw it for free, I have never felt like I wasted more time in my life.

I went to see this after being told it was meant to be pretty funny, knowing absolutely nothing about the film except it was a parody of The 300. Which sounded like it could be a pretty good idea! GOD that was a mistake. Never AGAIN. It clunked along from unfunny joke to obvious pop culture reference, never once approaching anything remotely resembling humour. Which wouldn't be so bad if the jokes weren't so obviously stitched in! The entire film read like a sketch show gone wrong, like not a moment could go by without some "wacky" reference being ploughed into our faces. Humour works best when it's integrated into the film but, amazingly, here it serves to make it even MORE unfunny and distracting. Meet The Spartans is, easily, the worst film I have ever seen and probably ever will see, and there's no reason for anyone to want to watch it again. Come on. Let's forget this film ever existed. We can do it, guys.… Expand

Just write this review makes me wanna puke. I'll give this movie minus 10 if could.

Terrible. It's not funny, rude and disgusting. Watch "300", the original, and enjoy it. This is ofensive.

I had promised myself after seeing the trailers that i would not watch this movie...ever. Well, one rainy boring afternoon I caved and decided to download it and let me say I am glad no one got my money for this movie. When people go and see movies like Meet the Spartans and Date Movie etc. they are telling hollywood that they approve of it's bottom barrel swill being poured out every 4-5 months when they need to make a quick buck. The pop-culture references are well overdone, almost all the jokes drag on and all of them are unfunny. The fact that this has received reviews of 10 by people who honestly believe this is how a good parody movie is made, just shows me how MTV has dumb down this generation.… Expand

Absolutely excruciating to watch. The only laugable part of the movie was the man boobs joke. You must be mentally retarded to laugh at this so called comedy. They ate up pop culture and puked it back up and made a movie.

I know this movie is bad but, I laughed through the whole thing, which makes it pretty much okay in my book. It's supposed to be bad. I've never seen a parody movie that could win an Oscar, have you? Plus, it's a hot guy-fest, so, yeah. I liked.

As a movie its one of the worst I've seen but it still made me laugh a good few times.

I decided to rate this movie because when I saw it on here, it got 1.2/10. For me, that is way to low. I just saw this movie, and as a very big fan of 300, it is just a bunch of fun watching a slack hangover idea, and it isn't that funny once you get into it. 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

The style and fashion is exactly the same as Epic Movie's, which is probably the only reason why people are saying awful things about this. But from my opinion, this is a flawless, fun, thrilling, sweet little adventure fueled with a high adrenaline of 2007 movie spoofs.

This is the worst film in the history of time. In fact, calling it a 'film' is more praise than it deserves. It is simply a mess, without a single redeeming feature. The only people who would enjoy this are either drunk, stoned or severely brain-damaged. I thought the Scary Movies were good for a laugh, but it is really obvious now that Friedberg and Setzer are utterly devoid of talent and were simply relying on the Wayans Brothers to cover for them.… Expand

I weep for any one who actually sees this. It looks so stupid it actually makes me angry.

Those of you who are giving it a ten need to die. you're retarded. go kill yourself, because you're probably like 9 years old and you're parents hate you. I wouldn't be surprised if you went home today from elementary school with all your Pokemon clothing and Digimon games on your lawn, with all your windows and doors locked so you can't get back in.

This movie was more or less just as good as epic movie. Leonidas was actually fairly close to looking like the 300 leonidas, but that's about it.

This movie was another failed attempt at funny for Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. Other than the Brittney Spears bit, there was nothing of merit in this movie. Perhaps their next flick should be called "Funny Movie" because the name is never indicative to the content when it's coming from these two.

DO NOT SEE THIS MOVIE! I cannot stress that enough. After being dragged to the Comebacks, I was foolish enough to think that Meet The Spartans might actually be good. Not surprisingly, it wasn't good at all. Hollywood needs to realize that the spoof genre needs a break.

yeah, its a shame that this even gets funding from a studio. this should not be allowed in the same theatres that actually show films that had effort and thought put into them.

I was going to give this film a 1 out of sheer awe of the filmmaker who is willing to attach his name to this pile of garbage. But wait, Aaron Seltzer is a pseudonym, so the film gets a zero. But, in all seriousness, I'm half convinced that the writers/directors are out to intentionally insult the intelligence of their audience. Rather than being an engaging pastiche of homage, allusion, and playful parody, the film is a repulsive Kindergarten's collage of non-sequitor, lowbrow humor that panders to an audience group even lower than the fanboys. The movie caters to those who would rather laugh for one second than think for even three, as evidenced by the frantic pacing of the mostly slapstick jokes. I doubt that the filmmakers could execute a simple pratfall without having whatever character trip through three or four unfunny pop culture allusions on his way down. The simple solution to this spreading problem of low moviemaking standards is not to see this film. The studios clearly don't care about how well-reviewed their movies are, so the only way to stop them from putting out another awful spoof movie is to avoid seeing the ones that they are producing right now. It will be by the grace of God if this movie makes less than 2 or 3 million, because awful profit margins are the only way to cut off Friedberg and Seltzer's funding.… Expand

Whatever, I'm just gonna give it a 5. I bet half the people who posted all of these retarded comments haven't even seen the movie....some of you people just need to lighten up though. There's SOME parts that are funny, and thats mostly the bad acting. But yeah, you cant really give it a rating if you haven't seen the movie.

Worst movie. Ever. Wasted 8 dollars and my time. Watched another movie to make up for it afterwards. I highly recommend that you do not watch this. It was full of unfunny "humor". I don't think I've seen more body fluids in any other non-gore or non-porn film. There were points when the movie was meant to be funny, but the audience went "ha, ha, ha" to mock it.

Of course this movie is terrible. What do you expect? And all these people ranting is disgust about its complete lack of intelligence, why did you help to secure next years witless wonder parody film by paying the price of admission? I snuck into the theater then left after ten minutes and demanded my money back from the manager (didn't get it naturally). One thing I will say about these movie is I sure love to hate them.… Expand

I'm not even going to see this movie. I just want to respond to Kenny M who critiqued Jim C. I like how you call someone else an idiot when you typed "there they same thing". Umm, 3rd graders know better grammar than you! Learn the difference between their, they're, and there before you try to judge someone else.

Best movie ever made! You guys dont know youre talking about! The Transformer was super awesome! F U

Best movie ever!

Go Cameron! That was a very articulate response, and I totally agree with you.

This was the worst movie in history!!! If there was a worst movie ever competition this movie would win 1st place. There were a lot of things in the commercials that were never in the movie. This movie is a waist of money!!!!!!!!

Amazing movie you'll be laughing the whole time. It's a need to watch movie!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not gonna lie. Never seen it, but if you have you're too stupid to function. You can't even read so continuing to write would be.

I thought the movie was quite entertaining. A better parody comedy then most.

You just don't expect Hollywood to produce a masterwork so early in the new year. This slice of celluloid dynamite will floor you. 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

Considering this has been such a stellar season for American cinema, I detest the notion that some people choose to eat this dog waste when you can munch on glorious cinematic steak for the same price. But I must admit, Sean Maguire's little impression of Leonidas is actually quite good...too bad the rest of the film is so pitifully uninspired that Mr. Maguire will receive no acolades for this performance. I only saw 20-minutes of this film before I left to go see "There Will Be Blood"...and those were 20-minutes, God forbid, I'd rather spend with "Norbit."… Expand

Someone bought me tickets and I've seen better film on teeth!

Nasty!!! I hate myself fo having accepted an invitation to watch this stinker!

Worst movie I have ever seen. Do not watch this. All it has is gay jokes, people throwing up, and gay people throwing up. And the celebrity impersonators look nothing like their real life counter parts. Greatly inferior to Epic Movie and Scary Movies.

It opened #1 in the box office, further proving that a movie doesn't have to be good to get money...and that people are idiots.

It kept me laughing throughout the whole movie.

This explains everything that's wrong with American that this movie made millions of dollars. I was actually PAID to see it, and I left.

This is a disgrace!

Uhh. Don't parodies have to be clever to work? Not just pale references with the same predictable gross out jokes and gay jokes? It's like all those lame Comedy Central shows which started out Wednesday at 10:30 pm. Comedy Central thinks South Park works because it's raunchy and politically incorrect. They seem to have no idea that South Park was only a hit because it was raunchy, politically incorrect, AND clever. The 'clever' part is most important.… Expand

I never seen the movie, But I know it is a retarded waste of time and money. I know this because I saw their first one, Date Movie, after wasting an hour and a half of my life on that, I pledged to never waste my time on the movies that film crew creates. How do they still have money to make these retarded movies? I would rather watch a documentary about pocket lint. Jim C, you gave this a 7? You must have lived under power lines when you were a child...or your real name is Ralph Wiggum.… Expand

Lets face it, This movie was going to be bad and I'm not saying it wasn't. It was not though horrible. It was a simple hit and miss comedy with hits like the Spartan skipping along and singing i will survive and misses like the opening Shrek joke. Unfortunately the misses outweigh the hits. Also I don't know what the casting director was thinking when he was hiring impersonators because they do not look like the people they are trying to. I think it was achieving what it was meant to a few cheep laughs but it wasn't great at that. I say wait for the DVD. Official grade C.… Expand

I wasn't expecting this movie to be very good, so i just watched it online. But honestly, its only funny for maybe 10 minutes. it isn't worth watching on the internet, and its definitely not worth paying for.
