    Great first 45 minutes or sow (even though I haven't seen 300), but then it was all downhill from there. I think they used all their great spoofs in the beginning, so the last 45 minutes were just boring. But it gets 3 stars for the beginning.

    Meet the Spartans essentially uses one specific film as its springboard, last year's surprise historical action hit 300. With its combination of stylized ultra-violence, rampant homoeroticism and self-serious attitude.

    Having recently watched Epic Movie I can say this parody movie wasn't that bad!
    Some funny moments but it did rely too heavily on repeating its jokes.
    Watch it if you like spoof movies & general immature humour ~ otherwise give it a miss.

    Some really funny bits but drags still. Britney jokes are tired. How old is Carmen Electra god dammit!
    The Wayans should have directed...

    Definitely the most retarded parody I've ever watched, even then I skipped various scenes which were just too unbearable. If it continues in this direction there will be a an "Ass Movie" sooner rather than later. Heh this is just too pathetic.

    Not a very good spoof. I love these type of movies, but they could have done better with some of the scenes. I did enjoy the pit of death scene though.

    Such kind of movies always don't interest me .. I thought both Date Movie and Scary Movie really sucked and since this is supposed to be in the same genre I wouldn't even watch the trailer !!

    i avoided this in cinema because i knew it be bad, so a one and a half star is more than i thought id give it, 2 times where a joke was very funny, was something i wasent expecting, and carmen electra, stunning throughout, sh so hot in this, and one thing, all the gay jokes, 300 did that on its own, theres no need to make a spoof of that

    Admiting it did have some funny moments but at the end, it just comes to the part where you decide what to rate this movie and thats where you really think and then realise how stupid the movie was made, i know it supposed to be stupid but there is something we call over-stupidity and that was the problem.
    But oh well, i guess we keep seeing more of this movies now days, they keep coming none-stop..

    With Meet the Spartans, Aaron Seltzer and writing partner Jason Friedberg are finally moving in the right direction with their film parodies. This movie centers almost entirely on just one movie, 300, and not an equal scatter shot of dozens of films. The best jokes are the ones that rip on 300 and the worst are the ones that use other references. Okay, I did laugh at the Brittany Spears jokes, or as the movie puts it, "It's Brittany, bitch!"

    English actor Sean Maguire does a great job as Leonides. He looks the part, painted on abs and all. Meet the Spartans follows the plot of 300 fairly closely. It begins with Leonides growing up to be king of Sparta. He trains his son just like they did in 300, only he includes WWE type body slams and hits his son with a chair. The jokes work well when they exaggerate the plot in 300. When the messenger arrives to discuss Leonides's surrendering, Leonides tells him, "Lets go talk by the pit of death." to which the messenger cheerily responds, "Okay."

    When Leonides's second in command gathers his army of 13 and not 300, he tells him he got the men that fit his requirements. The are all good looking and hung. The movie is full of gay jokes about these guys. Come on, a bunch of muscular men running around in leather Speedos are just asking for it. Gay jokes that is. The men skip everywhere. It's a running joke. Or would that be a skipping joke?

    The jokes miss whenever another movie reference is thrown in. Carmen Electra turns into Spiderman in a completely pointless scene, but the worst moment comes when the 13 do battle with an army of Xerxes by dancing. The Stomp the Yard joke dries up in seconds yet it drags on for minutes.

    Luckily, Meet the Spartans, for the most part, stays focused on spoofing 300. The 13 do battle with Xerxes army and a blue screen. They get betrayed and Meet the Spartans ends just like 300, only with a musical number. Meet the Spartans is the best movie parody since Scary Movie.

    This film is one of the worst films of out time. The comedy was unfunny, and this film was very dissapointing. This is a really rubbish mock film of 300. The story: The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing by leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 13--count 'em, 13!--Spartans to defend their homeland against the invading Persians (whose ranks include Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers and a hunchbacked Paris Hilton). No one is safe when the Spartans take on the biggest icons in pop culture. No one should see this film because it so boring, unfunny and just boring really. I will never see this film again in my entire life. The film itself was just a waste of production money and a waste of time to produce. The worst film of 2008 and possibly ever. Nobody should see this film.

    One of the worst movies of 2008. Meet the Spartans is a parody of the great blockbuster
    "300" which featured all the action and blood anyone could want from a epic film. this movie is like other films like Scary Movie and also Date Movie and those two films are better than this. Meet the Spartans isn`t that good and not really worth seeing.

    Definitely not very funny, it's been a sarcastic humor for me... Not different from another same genre movie I've already watched before 'Epic Movie', but this one's a little better... Even that, I still didn't like this type of movie...

    This movie was pretty good. At the begining it had some funny parts and few a in the middle, but the end was pretty lame. I liked the Yo Momma jokes part and when he was kicking people into the whole. It was sooo funny at that party!! Watch it!

    This movie was a spoof of 300 but it had gross out jokes that mostly fell flat and had humour that was not needed...

    It's an awful spoof, as expected. I think they sent to much time focusing on random parodies that didn't flow into the general context. The filmmakers also missed a lot of opportunities for some good, sharp, witty sketches. I'm surprised that they didn't spoof more of the recent over-the-top historical remakes, like Alexander, Troy, Gladiator, Beowulf, etc.

    Yeah it was a load of crap but that's what I expected when I watched it so it made it a bit better for me ( if that makes sense)

    If you see this movie, you are funding those people, you are funding those makers!

    Please, please, please. There is no excuse for anyone to see it.

    You've read the majority of people's reviews, it's awful.

    And don't try to see it to see if it's "as awful as it sounds".

    I'll spell it in capitals:

    DON'T GO AND SEE IT!!!

    Seriously, drowning a cute kitten is a lot more hilarious than this film!
