Meet the Spartans (Blu-ray Disc, 2008, Unrated Pit of Death Edition)

This one is neither good or funny....

Created after 300 this one lacks any real humor even the Britney seen is pitiful....
It would be hard to create humor using the fight seens so many a little more wity banter would have made this flick at least bearable.

Overall a pretty big waste of time.

If you enjoy a good parody (i.e. spoof comedy) and can stomach all the usual crude and bathroom-type humor we have come to expect from these types of films, you will love this movie.

Following in the footsteps of other more recent spoofs (Scary Movie series, Epic Movie...) Meet the Spartans pokes fun of previously released movies, in this case action films- mainly the movie 300 (although the fight scenes are a little more remniscent of Monty Python!). However, one thing that sets this movie apart from some of the others is that it also pokes fun of reality TV shows (including American Idol & America's Top Model) and several recent celebrity meltdowns, including the Tom Cruise scientology incident (on Oprah) & the ongoing the Britney Spears saga. So even if you havn't seen all of the action films you are still going to be able to get the jokes. And of course, Carmen Electra, who has become a staple in these types of films, holds a leading role this time. Which reminds me of one other thing that is different about this movie- there is a lot of sexual humor (i.e. Carmen Electra- what do you expect?) and also violence against children- which I thought was a bit over the line :(

In this film King Leonidas (played by Sean Maguire) leads a group of 13 Spartan warriors into battle against the massive Persian army (that includes Ghost Rider and the Transformers) who are threatening to invade and dominate Sparta. While he is on crusade, the Queen (Electra) attempts to gain the people's support for the war by whatever means necessary.

What a disappointment. :-( Get it used here on eBay if you must. Cheesy effects and a worn-out story line to boot. Definitely not worth the retail price and don’t bother renting it either. GREAT Seller though.

So what if this was a sick and twisted parody. Some of the humor was just plain horrible, but that's what parody is. This film was directed and produced by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. The covers tells us all to fight back tears of laughter watching this Unrated Pit-Of-Death Edition. This film touts now 300 times more outrageous then before. The film cracks fun at their rag-tag team of 13 Warriors to defend their homeland against the invading Persians, whose Ranks include impersonations of themes like Ghost Rider, Rocky Balboa, the Transformers, Britney Spears, and a completely messed up hunchbacked version of Paris Hilton!

Meet the Spartans pokes total fun of a real movie in a totally disrespectful way. The main theme of the film seemed to be to poke fun of the men and their effeminate natures. The skipping into battle and men scantily clothed in nothing but leather underwear opens this subject up to total reinvention.

Almost everything in film now for private home viewing on DVD (Unrated or otherwise) is going for political incorrectness, since our society is still hanging on to a small whiff of freedom left in or near the home (but not in the workplace). What else in the world would life be like if there wasn't anything funny or stupid to poke fun of. Of course, there is nothing fun about warring losers, so to poke fun at the Spartans seems the next best thing to do, since they eventually got defeated for being so brave.

The first part of the film was the funniest with the initial parodies of the child rearing preferences of the Spartans. The American Idol thing was just a little off the deep end as well as the segments of Britney Spears. Carmen Electra was the main thing that held this film together. The dust buster segment with the Spiderman 3 spoof was just fantastic.

I'm going to give this film a 4/5 for it's totally irreverent, sick parody of such a fine film as "300". I'll definitely have to catch this one again with someone who appreciates this type of humor again in the future.

IF YOU LIKE MY REVIEWS, PLEASE DON'T HESITATE TO LET ME KNOW BY VOTING, THANKS!

as spoofs go this one is highly entertaining albeit cheesier and with fewer references than say scary movie 2. Still it is worth a viewing if you enjoyed date movie or soul plane. don't get it on blu-ray.

I love comedies. After seeing a portion of the movie with a friend and thoroughly enjoying it, I decided to buy my own copy. Go Blu-Ray!

I expect a blu ray disc to have clearer and sharper picture quality. "Meet the Spartans'" picture quality is poor. I can see snowy images and spots, which is not as good as or even comparable to some of my DVD movies. I think a DVD is a better deal than a Blu Ray for this movie. Thumbs down!!!

I also purchased 10,000bc and this Blu Ray is very clear and sharp, the picture quality is great. Thumbs Up!!!

The price for the blu-ray was a unbeatable price and an awesome deal. But when received just a regulat DVD...it was not a blu-ray. I told seller of the problem and they ask me to send back the regular DVD and they would send out a blu-ray and re-pay for the shipping back to them. I did in fact get the blu-ray in the mail about 2 weeks later and have yet to receive my refund for the shipping back to them. Overall the item description was bad, BUT THE SELLER WAS GREAT AND DID A GREAT JOB FIXING THE PROBLEM.

This movie was really silly and rather dumb, but you have to see it at least once. It's just your average "Scary Movie" type spoof of all things 300-which I would suggest you watch FIRST. Don't let this movie ruin that one! I bought this as blu-ray. The kick people into the pit game is sort of funny, but it got old quick. Just more silliness. I wouldn't pay full price for this, but on sale or from Half it's well worth watching. Not for your gandmom, but we liked it and we're 40 something. Oh and NOT for young kids either.

Horrible Spoof but I was able to get through it. This was bad and the special features even worse. This movie ruined the idea of making a spoof, it was that bad.

Tasteless and poor humor. It was not a farce it was just a badly contrived written movie. If you must see it don't waste your money on Blu-ray and buy it used

Funny spoof movie but that is it! Do not watch for the plot but for the one liners. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This movie was not to appealing but I decided to rent it anyway. This movie is funny slapstick and pokes at 300. If you truley like 300 this will be insulting to you. This is similar to Epic movie and if you enjoy these montage films that emulate other movies, Go for it.

3 out of 5

he movie is full of laughs. One of the better slap-stick comedies in years. Twice as funny to view if you have seen the movie 300 first.
