Epic Movie was Shit. Date Movie was Stupid. Meet the Spartans...
Twisted Imp | 10:29 PM on 01.26.2008 25 comments


...is good until the movie is finished. I know, I know, "It looks more shit than 2 girls 1 cup", that's what I thought until I finally actually sat down and watched it. I will explain why it's good before I tell you why I didn't like it when I wasn't watching it.

First things first. Baby Leonidas with a beard was too cool for school.

The movie is actually good because unlike Epic Movie and Date Movie, they don't shove parody's down your throat. Which is why Scary Movie 1 and 2 were the best. Their are a lot of parodys but they actually fit in unlike in Epic Movie where they thought "LOL WE SHOULD ADD SOME PIRATES AND MAKE THEM RAP! ROFLROFLROFL!!11". It follows 300's storyline quite well I would say. Some jokes do however go on a little too long, Leonidas was probably kicking people in the hole for a good two minutes until Randy, Paula and Simon appear to judge his kicking skills (when he then kicks them into the hole). One part I lol'd at was probably when the Spartans march is shown to be a skipping session to "I Will Survive" (you'd understand it if you saw the movie, but you won't cause you guys are close minded).

Here's the reason though why I disliked it AFTER it was done. You have all had it happen to you, people ruin the lines. For example after the movie, all I heard from my friends was quotes from the movie, they were funny in the movie but this is why I didn't wanna see the movie in the first place, cause people ruin it. Dave Chappelle's Lil John skit got stupid after I heard a million people say " YEEEEEEAH!!! and GET CRUNK!!" as well as Borat's "HIGH FIVE!!" and other quotes.

Some more possitive notes, it's not to stupid. Like in Epic Movie stuff will just happen for no reason, just to crack a joke. But in Meet the Spartans they stick to the story line and use what they have to make a joke.

One final comment that's more of a con that kind of bugged me, they pointed out some of the jokes sometimes, sometimes they pointed stuff out that wasn't a joke. Like when Xerxes is revealed to be the fat guy from Borat, the narrator points it out that it's the fat guy. They it roughly 3 - 5 times.

I'm gonna give it a rating of (just you for you Wiisucks) 3 1/2 Firetrucks out of 5

It's a funny movie, I wouldn't suggest going to see it in theaters unless with a lot of friends and the tickets are half off. I say get it off the interwebs, through a torrent. It is 50 times better than Epic Movie and Date Movie combined(then again anything is) and better than Scary Movie 4 but I still have to say that Scary Movie 2 was the best.

So go see it if you are tired of seeing no story in some of these slap stick movies, go see it if your a fan of 300 and parodies and finally go see it if you liked the Scary Movie series.

i thought some of the scenes such as the pit of death and the dance off were a little too drawn out. the pit of death would have been better if broken into different segments. the james bond and happy feet rip offs were awesome. paris hilton, not so much.

also i am one of the few people who hated 300 so that added to my love of this movie.

No because you haven't even seen the movie and your bashing it, I told you it's better than the others and this one is watchable, but it won't matter because in the end you won't watch it.

Why the hell didn't you see Rambo? That movie kicked so much ass. Now all I need to do is write something up for it.

I was gonna see Rambo but I honestly have yet to see any others, and I own them all on VHS too. I'm planning on having a Rambo fest next weekend then going to see the movie after.

I was watching a lot of parts of it in the theater, and honestly, it's the worst fucking movie ever made. It's an hour and a half commercial. They would constantly just shove shameless advertising down your throat. Think Wayne's World, but not funny. Kevin Sorbo has completely sold out, and for that, I'm so sad cause he was one badass dude as Hercules.

It makes me sick that these movies hit number one in the box office because people just don't have the mind capacity to comprehend how terrible this movie is going to be. God forbid that they actually hire different actors rather than use the same three MadTV actors for every fucking role.

Fuck. This. Movie.

Sweet christ Heretic, you are one angry kid.

God I hope this movie makes a fuck ton of money, just to piss you off.

meh. i was going to see it with friends, but the wait was too long so we opted to watch some anime at a person's house instead.

probably a better decision in the long run.

I've got to agree with Heretic.

I won't deny that I've proclaimed that people who see this movie should be given a lethal injection upon leaving the theater. Movies like this only encourage other movies like it to be made.

And it will Nanbu, because Heretic DOES have a point.

I agree with Heretic

Besides, any normal person knows that anything funny is shown in the trailer. The rest is even worse usually.

We aren't being close minded you know. If I told you that Rig Racer 2 for the Wii was a classic, you should spit in my face. And if you think you should reserve judgment on such a game because you "haven't tried it yet", then you deserve to have your face spit on.

Critics can be a fickle bunch and some are not to be trusted at all, but when the criticism is overwhelmingly bad like this, I stay the fuck away.

And please, nobody waste bandwidth "torrenting" this garbage. That would be wrong.

I ask myself a similar question when I see mexicans in Texas with bottles of maple syrup and a case of lebatt blue.
