The heroic Leonidas, armed with nothing but leather underwear and a cape, leads a ragtag group of 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!

If you think Epic Movie was bad, then try watching this one! The blame rests fully with the writing team, it is just dire, you almost have to feel sorry for the performers, as they try their best, but are totally up against it.Carmen Electra tries her, best, she looks great, but she has wrecked any credibility she had by doing too many of these poor films. The only surprise to come out of this film was to see how buff that guy from Eastenders had become. Sean Maguire looks in incredible shape, but sadly for him, this was a disaster role.I think even adolescent teens would find this brand of toilet humour an embarrassment, and simply not funny.Awful.

Short and sweet. I never walk out of the cinema during a movie this is the 1st I've ever walked out on. Only thing funny is how unfunny this movie is. Your eyes will bleed after watching this. You've been warned. Everyone must watch this once and Im sure 99.9% of people will agree it to be the worst or one of the worst movies of all time.

I watched this movie as I marathoned the IMDb bottom 100, so I now how much movies can hurt. this movie does not hurt me. It has no self contained plot, and after five minutes of euphoric high caused by an almost its so bad its good, my brain adjusted to the randomness of the film I just watched it and attempted to guess the jokes before they happened for the remaining 55 minutes. My opinion on it is that it was a complete and utter waste of time, and the only reason it gets one star instead of three is that I PAID FIVE DANG DOLLARS FOR IT. I could go onto Youtube watch a summary of 300, the movie this is ripping off, then a video of a grown man crapping his pants in public, and finish it off by starring at a wall for an hour and get the same experience. They didn't even let me rent it on amazon, they made me buy it so that when I am watching a movie with friends I will have to explain why MEET THE SPARTANS is in my movie library. As a side note I watched this with two other people who both claim it was the worst movie they have ever seen and was so painful to watch one of them dropped out of the marathon. My theory is that this movie did not hurt me because I am a cynical nihilist who is not surprised that such horrors could be put to celluloid. So in conclusion I would not suggest this movie to anyone and if it doesn't cause you unimaginable pain it will leave a nauseous feeling because you will have to live the wrest of your life knowing you gave money to these soulless hacks.

Meet the Spartans (2008): Dir: Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer / Cast: Sean Maguire, Carmen Electra, Ken Davitian, Kevin Sorbo, Diedrich Bader: A brand new appeal for those barbaric Spartans dudes whose lives are bent around combat. Sean Maguire plays the new Spartan King but the Persians are closing in. The course of action is war. Setup is best written following 300 but after the initial premise, the film becomes episodic and rides into overkill. Too many references to game and reality programs drain much humour. It is as if the filmmakers needed to fill space so they referenced every stupid reality show within reach. Directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are backed with production that mocks its targets. They previously made Date Movie and the pathetic Epic Movie. Maguire is suited for the role of Spartan King but after his introduction where he kicks several people, including pop star Britney Spears into a pit, the film settles for mindless violent idiocy. Carmen Electra as the Queen has her moments but the role is too standard. Ken Davitian is featured as the Persian ruler. Kevin Sorbo plays the Spartan captain of the guard. Diedrich Bader is present just as he usually is but never as good as he was in Office Space. Spartans are met with tremendous attack on pop society that might have sounded good on paper but the results are a mixed. Score: 6 / 10
