Lots of quotes (Click to reveal)It made me giggle.
If by "giggle" you mean "want to shoot my nuts off."
The first time I saw this movie, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Nothing, I repeat nothing, made me even crack a smile. A few people in the theatre laughed and I turned to see what they were laughing at. I just couldn't believe that anyone would make something like this. And the Britney Spears part painfully bad. Talk about territory covered to death.
Yeah.. it made me laugh a little, until I realized this was a real movie.. then I just felt really sad.
This movie reminds me of a passable at best skit at an amusement park stage show. In fact this idea has been done 1000x better by people behind their computers at home on Youtube. It's sad really that directors, writers, producers, and the like ACTUALLY take the ideas put on these social networking sites and turn them into feature length motion pictures.
To answer the question in the topic: No I didn't even smile. In fact I literally threw up in my mouth a little. Especially when the trailer switched to present day New York and Donald Trump cut Spider Man's web. I would rather kick myself in the forehead repeatedly than watch this movie.
yeah, the funniest thing about this movie is how relevant it's going to be by about..oh, let's say June. Jokes that involve 15 minutes of fame "celebrities", catchphrases and current tabloid fads just show extreme laziness in making a movie and will make it really dated. That's why "Walk Hard" is a great movie. It slightly references certain movies like "Walk The Line" and "Ray" but it makes it main focus of comedy on the characters and story instead of on how many pop culture references you can make in 90 minutes. There's nothing wrong with silly humor every now and then but basing a whole entire movie around jokes that are barely funny to begin with and that will be irrelevent a year from now is just dumb. And it's not like they're landmark pop culture events either. 10 years from now is anybody really going to remember or care about Sanjaya or Britney Spears shaving her head? It's just pointless tabloid garbage splattered on the big screen for a cheap laugh.
Its the people who think these movies are funny that ruin our country.
See the movie "Idiocracy", this isn't to far from the movie, "Ass" in which its an ass for 120 minutes, and it wins for best actor, screenplay, and director.
God I wanna spoon my eye balls out.
It made me seeth with rage. I swear to you I didn't giggle, titter, smirk, smile, grin or remain-poker-faced-but-be-amused-on-the-inside once.
all this trailer did was make me cringe. i'm embarrassed for the makers of these films.
I snorted a bit when "Britney" went, "Googoogaga", and breathed hard on the babies' head. The rest made me want to kill the nearest living thing.
I'm a teenager and I didn't find even the spears part especially funny. I guess I just kinda am a Scrooge and just loath these "hip" twists on everything. It's like a formula now. For example Alvin and the Chipmunks is old but with the new movie its the same thing except with some hip-hop.
The trailer was funny but why would you pay to see a full-length version? Supposedly the trailer has all the jokes anyway. Save your money for something worthwhile.
This trailer made me a little sad for the future of modern cinema.
If you seriously, SERIOUSLY found this funny... you have the sense of humor of a 3 year old.
I can't believe this exists.
not even a giggle sorry. But I'll admit, the second i saw it i knew it was gunna be like an Epic movie thing, and was too disgusted at the use of money/time, and too insulted to even realize those bits were supposed to be funny. it was just shocking at seeing them keep trying these movies even though they continously fail.
So yeah let's completely destroy this movie in the form of a forum topic
Edit: Here's a trailer if you are too drunk/lazy to search on the internet or something

Yeah, these movies are pretty horrible. I didn't even see Epic Movie but Date Movie was very bad. It's from the same people who made those, right?
They're just dumb comedy, not even good dumb comedy.
-
They're just dumb comedy
-
I dunno let's try joking about the movie in this format
Meet The Spartans is why bad things happen to good people
Everytime someone laughs at Meet The Spartans God kills a kitten
Meet The Spartans makes the Baby Jesus cry
-
Everytime someone laughs at Meet The Spartans God kills a kitten
Damn, I just killed a kitten...
I admit, I laughed when he kicked Britney down, but that's just because I really dislike her.
I've seen parts of Epic Movie and... bleh, the only funny scene in that film was "Li-man"... nice to be acknowledged.
-
It looks like an incredibly juvenile movie that's capitalizing on the success of a critically acclaimed popular movie using sophomoric humor. No thanks. Perhaps it will be fun to watch with a ladyfriend or something.

What ever happened to smart parody?
-
What ever happened to smart parody?
I miss witty parodies. Does Austin Powers count? Or Naked Gun? Maybe we just need more canadian comedians...
-
wow that was probably one of the worst things i've ever seen. i had to watch it twice just to make sure i wasn't like MISSING SOMETHING.
was that Gerard Butler though? i have a hard time believing he would do that but if it's not then they got a pretty convincing lookalike.
-
meet the spartans is why god doesn't talk to us any more
-
ugh these stopped being funny so long ago. epic movie was an all time low though and i really doubt these are gonna help the franchise at all. scary movie three at least made me laugh but epic movie i almost turned off like half way through were i not with a group
-
Yeah I hate to say it but Scary Movie 3 made me lol a few times, like when the sherriff lady's hat got progressively bigger for no reason
But yeah I was saying to Doppleganger today, there like aren't even jokes in this movie, they're not even making OBSERVATIONS or COMMENTS or SATIRE about anything, they're just like showing well-known imagery in hopes of it being some kind of LAUGH STIMULUS - like the entire movie is constructed out of MEMES or something which actually makes it pretty fascinating
like another example of cringe-worthy parodies would be MadTV which at least feels like they met together and went WHAT IF WE COMBINED THESE TWO THINGS and you know, made jokes by comparing/contrasting the two, even if their choices feel REALLY random sometimes. Meet The Spartans is like COMBINE TWO THINGS. Like, comedy is some sort of math equation where you can just combine two elements and it becomes something original / worth watching
-
I blame MTV
By MTV I mean MadTV...
-
Yeah I hate to say it but Scary Movie 3 made me lol a few times, like when the sherriff lady's hat got progressively bigger for no reason
IMO, Scary Movie 3 was the last decent-good movie they've made. Epic Movie sucked hard balls and this movie looks like it'll suck more. It's not even worth going to see for the "lol this movie sucks" laughs.
-
What the fuck.
-
I blame MTV
By MTV I mean MadTV...
At least no one expects you to pay for Mad TV
unless you buy the DVDs lol
-
the movies stopped being funny because the wayan bros. stopped writing and directing.
EDIT: according to imdb, this is the official movie tagline
"If you hated Epic Movie, well we made a part two bitches! "
yeah...

they weren't funny before that either. scary movie and its sequels were still basically just as dumb as the others. i don't even understand who SEES this shit at this point. like i do not think i have seen a scene in any single one of these movies that has been clever or well thought out or anything even close. it is always, always just HEY HERE IS A SCENE FROM THAT ONE MOVIE YOU PROBABLY SAW, BUT DIFFERENT (AND STUPID) AND PERHAPS A REFERENCE TO YET ANOTHER MOVIE YOU SAW. heh i get it it's like 300 except theyre dancing like you got served so good
it's great because it's so heavily based around stupid short-term popculture bullshit like random lame movies, half of which are already out of date (hey guys wanna guess how many times ANYONE ANYWHERE has thought about you got served in the last six months?), that in like ten years, not only will this shit STILL be completely unfunny and without merit, but it probably won't even be especially comprehensible. i kind of want to SHOW MY KID THIS in twenty years or something and have him be like "what the fuck is any of this shit"
-
sweet lord YES I WANT TO REGISTER FOR UPDATES
-
My favorite part is that by the time these come out on DVD, no one cares about those movies they talked about anymore, and our attention spans are so short that no matter how fast they release the DVD, we've still already forgotten.
What terrible shit movies.
-
poor Kevin Sorbo :(
-
You are responsible for this. Yes, you.... the internets.

Reminds me of when they brought Family Guy back and they mentioned like every promising show on FOX that got canceled prematurely
Sadly I remembered a large number of them but for some of them I was like wtf was that show???
I also found all these older movies that were actually pretty good because I remembered the TV commercials long enough to recognize them in the video store/ at a tag sale (like ARLINGTON ROAD for example)
-
Still, it looks better than epic movie.
-
Meet the Spartans: does not beat a hard kick in the face
-
they weren't funny before that either. scary movie and its sequels were still basically just as dumb as the others.
The original Scary Movie had it's merit because it was one of the very few genuinely movie parody comedies since the Mel Brooks days. The humor was retarded, yes, but this is how parody humor works. You take something that's well established and you flip it on it's head for LULZ. If they made the comedy subtle, then it would have been a satire and very VERY few satires in film form are ever popular.
Just look at some of film's greatest parodies like Space Balls. If you've never watched Star Wars, you wouldn't know what the hell they were talking about. Take Baron Munchausen or Quest for the Holy Grail: if you don't who King Arthur is or understand German folklore you would have never got the movies. The slap stick humor is for people who don't understand the films source. The actual parody part is where people can say "oh yeah, i saw that and it was dumb THIS MAKES IT FUNNY!"
But Epic Movie and Date Movie had no tact... it was just random scenes. Scary Movie actually had some flow to it but Epic Movie was like "Okay, here's a scene involving superman now the characters are on a pirate ship OH WAIT IT'S NARNIA NOW!"
One of my favorite parody movies was Not Another Teen Movie because it didn't try to be LOL FUNNY but actually successfully pulled off the incredibly stale melodrama that teen movies are notorious for and ran away with this concept. No one bothered to care that the Breakfast Club and 16 Candles were more than ten years old when it came out because those movies were popular enough that EVERYONE has seen them.
-
Marcus basically summed up my thoughts. Scary movie at least had a semi-comprehensible plot up through 3. Around four you see it slipping in to what we now have which is the Epic Movies and Date Movies and what not.
and i liked Not Another Teen Movie too. there's just a tangible difference between these and MEET THE SPARTANS. it's much less interchangeable (even thought it obviously still is) and the jokes work with the plot, not so much the plot working for the jokes.
-
Mel Brooks made such good parodies. I loved Young Frankenstein, and Dracula Dead and Loving It is probably my favorite movie parody ever. What made them good was that the normal conventions of the movies were just shown to be as ridiculous as they were. Instead of doing that, the idiots writing these films have a very loose idea of what good comedy is and instead show a Britney Spears character shaving her head and moaning at her baby and then she falls down a hole.
But yeah, Mel Brooks everyone. Homework is watch a Mel Brooks film.
-
That's because they parody a genre and it's overused conventions, and not gossip-of-the-moment pop culture references. A good parody will highlight the absurdity of some concept.
-
Wow. That trailer is awful. Haha. Is this possibly a bigger joke of a movie than Big Momma's House 2?
MTS!!!!
"The funniest thing about Big Momma's House 2 is what I believe to be a grammar error in its press notes."
"A partial list of things that are more amusing than Big Momma's House 2: Beverly Hills Cop, Fletch, the original Big Momma's House, every sitcom currently on TV, open-heart surgery."
Also, I thought this was particularly inspired:
"If Meet the Spartans were a person; it would be a less witty, lazy, incoherent version of Dane Cook."
-
From the people that brought you scary movie, date movie, and epic movie.
comes...
...BAD MOVIE
(ancient joke i know)
-
honestly i think "bad movie" would be a great idea
edit: or maybe it would be called "parody movie" but you get the idea
edit edit: it would be about the people behind these awful parodies and how fucking stupid they are, and while they're making these movies they go bankrupt, get AIDS, and everybody they love dies.
-
man i was talking to steel about how bad movie would be good. like, a parody of all these awful awful parodies written in the same lazy, generic, unfunny way. maybe it would just be renditions of scenes that were in all the movies but with a competent group of writers standing around shaking their heads looking disgusted in every scene but at the same time i feel like it'd be enough to simply have a series of scenes of what must go into the writing of such movies, as that would probably be even worse. either way it would be THE ULTIMATE and upon its completion the universe would probably just implode upon itself
-
Make it
now
-
I can't come up with an example of how Bad Movie could be good. The way I keep picturing the scenes going, they'd be almost exactly the same as what they're making fun of. To point out how generic things are, most of the time you just make them MORE generic, so...it just sounds like generic would come back out of that.
-
Maybe just take out all of the parts that make it look like it's even supposed to be funny. When people get hit, have them suffer serious injury and go to the hospital and whatnot, and actually show their families grieving. When people get covered in bodily fluid, have them contract venereal diseases. Have "comedic misunderstandings" quickly rectified by the speaker. Fill it with anti-humor, as opposed to failed humor.
To steal a joke from (I think) John Hodgeman that exemplifies what I mean:
Speaker 1: Who's on first.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm asking you.
Speaker 1 (Understanding): Ah, I see, you are mishearing me: Who is actually the last name of the player on first base.
Meanwhile keep all of the stylistic conventions, like the sound effects and camera angles and whatnot, to make it seem especially sad and pathetic. Maybe get the actors to play it all really low-key, like a bunch of Ben Steins.
-
man i was talking to steel about how bad movie would be good.
no you weren't.
we didn't have this convo?

Murphy's law can also apply to movies. Bad Movie would probably end up taking every golden globe.

If you need help with this, I am quite good at finding and creating anti-humor. (even if I say so myself)
-
No matter how bad these movies (I absolutely hate them), they always seem to rake in ridiculous amounts of money. Its kinda a no brainer that these people will keep making them as long as they keep raking in the money.
-
It's like pop music
Edit: Of course me and my brother have discussed this, it's not that pop music causes any physical pleasure whatsoever by listening, it's just that they're CATCHY AS FUCK and they've engineered something into the music that lodges itself into your brain like one of those Matrix bugs that was in his belly button

No, that's not what happens. These movies get a fucking UNRATED version that seems to promise nudity (I guess), so everyone goes out and buys it hoping for a cheap thrill.
I punched the back of my brother's head after seeing the trailer, and then started punching his bed. I was furious. These movies don't make fun of the movies they're "parodying" but instead just reference the trailers of said movies. It's despicable. I can't believe how completely identical they are.
-

Very true. And what's worse is that the unrated material is just non-senseless, random garbage.
*shakes head in disgust*
Poor, poor K'Sorbo. He must have really needed the money.
-
Yeah he must have really needed the money after all the green he's still raking in from Hercules the Legendary adventures. (No wait he did do that Walking Tall 2 Film. My bad.
-

he has actually done quite a bit recently
he definately doesn't need the money
-
aren't the unrated versions mostly the same except for like an extra scene where someone says fuck a few times or there's an added poop joke or something? like, i remember when i was younger watching the unrated version of some movie hoping there would be titties everywhere and hardcore fucking and shit but it still seemed pretty tame.
-
ugh. I just saw the trailer for this on TV and almost spit my tea out. I was almost going to make an angry topic about it but fortunately there is a fairly-civil one here already.
-
I ended a friendship because the guy likes these movies. Okay, there were other things but just go with it.
All I can say is, can you blame me? :shrug:
-
I saw a commercial with some footage I haven't seen today. In it, a robot aired a YouTube video of Britney Spears on his chest. They didn't even bother coming up with some pseudo-clever reference. It physically upset me.
-
It was a transformer parody with a youtube video of the "leave britney alone" guy,
so yeah it was an internet reference but still stupid as fuck and pretty painful to watch.
-
If they made the comedy subtle, then it would have been a satire and very VERY few satires in film form are ever popular.
The thing is Scary Movie was a parody of Scream, which was a (rather popular) satire of the teen slasher flick. The levels of meta are astounding.
For the record: I liked Scary Movie 1, thought Scary Movie 2 was pretty boring (but to be fair, I was never a fan of the Haunted House genre), and laughed one time during Scary Movie 3: "...and now the killer video that kills you seven days after you watched it, we're the only station that has it and we are showing it all night." This is funny because it is something a station would actually do. For reasons unknown, I saw Scary Movie 4 in theaters, and the only time anyone in the theater laughed was when one of the characters said "Ima put that on MySpace."
"Meet the Spartans" is a movie that could work. Well, the idea of it parodying 300 and by extension, Frank Miller (Like, they could have a little counter in each corner that keeps track of how many female characters are raped and/or become prostitutes) could work, but instead, we get stale pop culture references that aren't even jokes or insightful.
...
Oh. My. God. This is pretty much 4chan: The Movie, isn't it?
-
why is it called MEET THE SPARTANS anyway?
like, didn't meet the parents come out eight years ago?
-
poor Kevin Sorbo :(
That was the first thing that I thought when I saw it :(
-
I was thinking about it, and the Brady Bunch movie, which wasn't that many years ago, did a really good job (I think). It was on TV yesterday and I was thinking about these movies while watching it to see why I love it so much but hate these so much. The difference is they took something that's ALREADY part of pop culture (and not a throwaway piece of it, one that's already proven to have stuck around) and replicated it entirely, but not OH BRADY REFERENCE HERE'S ANOTHER BRADY REFERENCE BRADDYYYYY REFERENNCCCEEEE!!!! Still, they DID throw in tons of references, but they put them in in such a natural way that you don't feel disgusted by it. Even really minor things, like the way Mike talks into the phone the EXACT SAME WAY every time he gets a phone call, were done well--have Carol whisper into his ears and him being saying "OH....I SEE....YOU WILL? ALLLLRIGHT....". The cameos are even thrown in nicely, I didn't even see one of them until I had watched it a few times because it's not "HERE IS A CAMEO" right in your face. You really just feel like you're watching a long episode of the Brady Bunch, except everyone around them is in the 90's. It's not one-liner after one-liner, unlike these movies which are HOW MANY QUOTES FROM TRAILERS CAN WE PUT IN A MOVIE with no plot.
The fact that that movie wasn't made that long ago (although it could have been like 10 years ago god what year is it now even) makes me think that we could do a better job, and that parody isn't something of years olde.
-
Oh. My. God. This is pretty much 4chan: The Movie, isn't it?
this wins for best tagline.
-
why is it called MEET THE SPARTANS anyway?
like, didn't meet the parents come out eight years ago?
Because it's a funnier title than Epic Movie 2, Spartan Movie, or something like that.
And there's a sequel to Meet The Parents (Meet The Fockers) from a little less years ago.
-
omg...please watch this guys video review of the movie, I lost count at how many times he said "fuck"
http://www.themovieblog.com/2008/01/meet-the-spartans-review

ps i didn't think anyone would ever find this funny until like eight people at work were standing around being like YEA MEET THE SPARTANS LOOKS RAW and i seriously did a doubletake.

If you look to see what movies are raking in the cash, you'll understand why studios put out the movies they do.
-
Yeah I could seriously see the mere enjoyment of Meet The Spartans making it disturbingly clear whether you'll agree with someone on anything else/ want to be their friend ever
Like we should form social cliques around this PEOPLE WHO ENJOYED MEET THE SPARTANS vs. PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T ENJOY MEET THE SPARTANS. We should actually praise the creators of this movie for figuring out that there /is/ a criteria you should divide people by, it's just not race or income or religion or gender or anything, it's whether or not you actually find this movie entertaining
-
So many people I know are actually really excited about this movie. I don't understand why. Nobody got excited over Epic Movie or The Comebacks or whatever. But for some reason this one seems to be getting pretty popular.
The only thing about it that looks worthwhile is M.E.T.H.O.D man.
-

Well, I do seem to remember 300 being a very popular movie. Since MEET THE SPARTANS is mainly based off 300, that means the many people who make 300 overrated would want to see this. They are pretty much cashing in on the 300 craze.
-
holy shit! I just saw the poster at the cinema's, I didnt know it was out already, gonna catch it this saturday!
-
aten you're so predictable.
edit: changed retarded to predictable.
-
What, its good for a few laughs :D
-
no, me kicking a dude in the dick is good for a laugh. if I ran around town kicking people in the dick and then just shooting them and then the swat team has to take me down, testicular blood still staining my hands, it's a fucking debacle and an insult and my name would be mud forever.
-
I miss witty parodies. Does Austin Powers count? Or Naked Gun? Maybe we just need more canadian comedians...
Yeah, they count, and they were both witty while being silly. Moviemakers seem to think that you can only have it one way or the other, and it's terrible.
I liked Scary Movie 1 and 3 for a while when they came out (although 3 was mainly for Leslie Nielsen, I admit) but all the other movies to come out of this "OTT PARODY WHOO" genre shouldn't have been made. I wouldn't miss Scary Movie 1/3 much either if it meant avoiding shit like this.
There are so many good movies out, and for them to put out comedy which literally makes me feel embarassed (the 'You Got Served' thing made me cringe really hard) and top the box office (even if it's only for a week or two) is bullshit.
poor Kevin Sorbo :(
And yeah, this :(. I thought he might've been actually getting a career after Hercules - he was pretty good for the short period he was on The OC.
EDIT: Haha, Xeno, that video review is fantastic.
-
IMO, Scary Movie 3 was the last decent-good movie they've made. Epic Movie sucked hard balls and this movie looks like it'll suck more. It's not even worth going to see for the "lol this movie sucks" laughs.
MTS(meet the spartans) was ok..... a cut above epic movie. It had alot of laughs, not as much as Scary Movie 3 but still alot.
It would have been waaay better if it was not for 1 thing.....IT WAS TOO F*CKING SHORT!!! it would have been alot better if more was added and if it had me laughing the whole way through, like tenasious D
Most parts were just wrong, like whenever someone flashed their dirty asses, that was not funny i just wanted to puke :blarg:
anyways it was a decent movie and it will give you a couple of laughs, but don't expect it to be better than scary movie 3 or anything like that.....

Tenacious D was a terrible terrible movie and it annoyed me that Tim Robbins was in it. :blkarg: and yeah don't worry I don't expect it to be better than scary movie 3, but it wouldn't be hard.
