Meet the Spartans Review

By Turhon Stewart

I, Turhon J Stewart, promise to give accurate and unbiased account of all films.

“Now how do I begin?” That’s what the Director of this movie must have said. The compilation of bad humored shorts and terrible timing have given this film the same ability to succeed as Bush’s book of spelling . Now from the start of the film the rush to fit big movie jokes into just a few moments seemed to be apparently to much for the director. It seemed almost as if the producer threw a collage of bad jokes at the director and said make a stew, and the director just couldn’t find the flavor. Now, this is not to say that the whole movie was not funny or that some of the concepts for humor were not admirable at best. I am just saying that the minor funny parts of the movie had already been seen in the commercials and were not the whole scenes. When one went into the theater to see the movie already laughing at the shorts they saw in the trailer it looked as if we were about to see the first hit comedy of the year, then the first scene came on and that idea went out of the window, or should I say the theater along with the patrons. The last movie that I went to where the people left faster than they came in was lake placid. Need I say more! To add insult to injury the base running joke of the film was 300 a movie that was actually good. The innuendo of their leader being gay as a running gag was poorly played written and acted, in short they just tried way to hard without direction.

Now that I have given the low points of the movie let me give you the good parts, I saw it at matinee time so I wasn’t to upset at the cost and I got a refund. The jokes that were seen in the commercials were snippets of longer drawn out jokes that lost their luster halfway through the scene, I found myself over and again starting to chuckle then frowning in disappointment. I can say this the best part of the movie just like it’s counterpart was the fight scene, that was the only part of the film that seemed to be thought out . That scene made me want to go see 300 again, so if you like 300 go see this then you will want to see 300 again. All in all my rating of this film on a scale of 1 to 10. I give it a 2 just better than lake placid but not quite Howard the duck. At this time I would like to thank you for reading this, and say hopefully I helped you to make a good entertainment investment this year, god knows I wish I had.

Special points of interest:

• Why did it seem like the writers were at war with each other.

• Sure I was happy to see Britney acting again.

• Take into account how current some of the humor was

• You can get more comedy out of watching a bus stop and for less money
