‘Meet the Spartans’

‘Meet the Spartans’ is one of those rare movies that made me sick to the stomach and feel a deep-seated loathing at those who made it. While some of the more charitable ones might chose to call it a poorly made satire, I choose to call it a brainless crapper, which was written and directed by a couple of six year olds. You might be completely bored of hearing about Donald Trump, American Idol, Britney Spears, Spider Man 3, Deal or no Deal, Youtube, Paris Hilton but the directors of ‘Meet the Spartans’ really don’t care. So, they painstakingly collected every pop idiocy of 2007 they could think of and stuffed into the nightmare known as ‘Meet the Spartans’.
Now had the writers worked a little harder on the plot, then the movie could have been a fairly mediocre experience instead of being the most excruciating torture I have suffered in a theatre. Moreover, its obvious that even the producers realize this because there’s a scene in which Carmen Electra reads a review quote of the movie, which describes ‘Meet the Spartans’ as a shoddy rip off of the mighty epic ‘300’. It was this scene that actually blew my lid off. While there are so many incredibly great movies begging us to watch them, we are actually wasting precious money watching a movie that openly mocks saying ‘we know it’s horrible, we are just out to take your cash.’
But I will still purchase a DVD of the movie just to remind myself of what a really horrible movie can be.
