Review of Meet the Spartans (2008) by Terrance H — 03 May 2012

I must warn you now... I was thrilled by the previews. I partly chose this movie because they showed Rambo being parodied in the previews. They also showed Paris Hilton in the jungle saying "thats hot," along with Donald Trump cutting Spider-Man's web while telling him "you're fired!" Let me make it simple.

.. NONE OF THESE APPEAR IN THE MOVIE!!! No jungle scenes or anything! The whole movie is set on maybe 3 or 4 different movie sets, all relating to the movie 300. This is very much false advertisement and I feel severely cheated and used as a movie payer.

Too bad we couldn't pay after we see a movie... after all, if we don't like our food at a restaurant, we usually send it back for better or leave without paying for their service. Why is it different at a theater? Somethings very wrong when they advertise things in movie previews and many of them are not in the movie, yet we still have to pay.

OK, this movie started out funny. Everyone in the theater was laughing for the first 5 minutes as Leonidas was growing up. However, once we were past that, the movie drug on. The entire movie was filmed on practically the same movie set, very little location changes, so it got boring.

.. real fast! Some of the jokes carried on for way too long, such as the break dancing between the spartan and Persians. It is becoming evident to me that the reason so many jokes drug on is they needed to fill at least an hour, otherwise it'd be another TV show.

.. they made it to 68 minutes. This movie only runs for 68 minutes!!! At least a 2hr movie, etc. gives lots of time to get the feel I got my monies worth, but 68 minutes??? I seriously want my money back.
