Review of Meet the Spartans (2008) by Halimali H — 08 Apr 2010
This movie uses the movie 300 as its core reference. The story is about Leonidas (Sean Magiure) the king of Sparta who takes his troops and goes to fight with Persia's King Xerxes who wants to take Sparta to his own. Leonidas along with his captain (Kevin Sorbo) recruit 13 half naked Sparta's soldiers and prepare them for battle against invading Persian forces. During the battle there are lots of references to famous movies, shows and personalities like Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Sylvester Stallone, American Idol and Deal or no deal etc.
Meet The Spartans is Lazy, lame and painfully unfunny. The movie is stupid by all means. I did not find the jokes or even the situations to be funny. They were crude and awful. I just cannot understand how a movie like this gets produced.
Other than the cinematography at few shots and some of the music then the movie is not watchable and I would not recommend it to anyone unless you want to take a revenge from someone :).
