Meet The Spartans Trailer: No Need To See The Whole Movie

Meet The SpartansDoes anyone honestly think that Meet the Spartans, the next spoof movie from the folks that brought us Epic Movie and Date Movie is actually going to be worth sitting through?

Well I suppose that the same people who actually thought that AVP-R was great might think so. :-)

Seriously, just watch the trailer below, chuckle a bit at some of the marginally funny bits and call it a day. There’s no need to waste $10 and an hour and a half of your life sitting through this thing because everything even remotely funny in this movie is right here:

I don’t know exactly when it opens, nor do I care (and neither should you).

    garrett you think Avp was the greatist movie ever made,(you must be ether 9 years old just trying to start something).

  • Vic
    Right... if you think AVP-R was great then Meet the Spartans should be right up your alley.

    Oh, and you MUST be right about how awesome AVP-R is since it's earned a whopping $40 million here in the U.S. in almost 3 weeks. Even ignoring what critics like myself have said about it, if people thought it was any good it should have made at LEAST 3X that amount of money by now.

    So not only do critics agree that it blows, so does the average moviegoer. Aside from discerning folks like yourself, that is.

    man i hate when movie critics start a sentence out with....do you actually think??? like everybody is so stupid. dude it's a movie and there is a huge market for silly movies.
    hey vic go rent the notebook and cry yourself to sleep.
    and AVP-R was the best movie ever made. the panty shot alone was worth the 10$

  • Hey guys,

    I'd like you to keep an eye out on Monday morning for the Screen Rant 2008 Movie Preview. I put a TON of work into it for you guys and what I ask is that once it's up you PLEASE use the "Digg This" link to vote for it on Digg.com.

    And if you could get all your friends that are into movies to Digg it as well that would be awesome. :-)

    Best,

    Vic
  • Zachary
    :O If Vic doesn't review it Steve, I'll review it for the both of us!
  • Hey Kel, thanks. And check out my shout to you on my latest "Indy 4" post. :-)

    And I'll definitely review "Cloverfield."

    Vic
  • steve adams
    Just kidding KEL, last time I quote that line.....
    ^
    And yes I'm kinda hoping Vic or Heath see this or at least try too..

    I know I would get more laughs out of reading Vic's review than seeing the "film".
    ^
    Also Vic I can't wait for a review of Cloverfield. I won't be able to see that right away...:)
  • KEL
    LOL,steve! :-D

    To answer your question,steve,I don't particularly care much for them,they all kind of seem the same to me most the time.

    Yeah,they probably won't go,but I'm sure you can read the review by someone else at some other site,even tho I personally don't like reading reviews that AREN'T here at screenrant.;-)
  • steve adams
    Do you like gladiator movies KEL?
    ^
    Forgive you, KEL we all expect some kind of review!! I don't think Vic and Heath are going.?
    :)
  • KEL
    LOL,Vic! Aaaah.....I've decided against it after all,God help me if I change my mind again! ;-)

    Yeah,Heath's gonna be a GREAT Joker. I just wish I'd have realized that sooner. I mean,I had my doubts (you know it!) but after seeing the footage,I've every reason to believe that Heath will be fantastic.:-D
  • steve adams
    Man Jim I just realised I'm 40 years old.
    It was like yesterday I was sitting in a movie theatre watching "Airplane" everyone was laughing, it was communal...
    ^
    Now that theatres a Barnes & Noble store and I just realised that the humor in Airplane isn't relevant anymore....
    ^
    Man this 2008 things hittin hard today....
    ^
    Reminds me of Ferris Bulers day quote I read here a few days ago...

    All we really have here on Earth is our time...
    This timeline will never be here again and it will never be the same after tomarrow...
    ^
    Ok I'm getting too preachy sorry everyone. Happy New year!
  • steve adams
    Thanks Vic I coundnt remeber who that was (June Cleaver!). Leave it to Beavers mom...
    ^
    I would sure love to see the outtakes on that scene.
  • And I thought we were making such progress with you, Kel. With you accepting Heath Ledger as the Joker and all.

    Just kidding, bud. ;-)

    Vic
  • KEL
    Call me crazy,but after seeing MORE previews for this on TV,I'm actually pondering watching it on demand or renting it someday. Forgive me!! :-0 ;-)
  • Jim Carey
    Steve, that's ok that Airplane is kinda dated, cuz I am too. There's a certain amount of humor that will go over the head (so to speak) of younger viewers. "I speak Jive" is a funny line, but even funnier is, Barbara Billingsly delivers it.
  • "Airplane" is the perfect example of this sort of movie actually being FUNNY. I've always said there's a fine line between "stupid-funny" and just plain "stupid."

    And Jim, the woman in "Airplane" played the ultra white-middle-class June Cleaver in the 50's TV show "Leave it to Beaver." That's what made it funny. :-)

    (Movie trivia).

    Airplane marks the first time ever in film history that shat literally hit a moving fan...
    ^
    Also Jim, Airplane 2 has a special apperiance at the end,, by some shat.
    (no moving fan)...

    I think the (oj killer) is also in these films.
    Don't call me shirly...
    :-)
  • steve adams
    That's great Jim! The film I'm sure is somewhat dated but there's still some good jokes there.
    Like when the shat hits the fan!
    Ahh ...
    The jive reference came at a time before Rap and all the gansta crud that's prevelant today.
    ^
    "So do you like gladiator films Jim?". Kinda funny since this post is about a bad Gladiator film.

    :)
  • Jim Carey
    That is a true and literal use of the word "entertainment." When I entertain guests, I don't just let them in and go about my business. I engage, converse, serve, respond to. I agree, entertainment by definition has intrinsic value.

    You guys inspired me to rent "Airplane." I'm sure there are many gags in that movie that a 20 year old would not "get." Besides being a parody of a disaster movie, the jokes had a contemporary context. Why exaggerate cultural or racial differences? Who is this actress whose character "speaks Jive"?

    "mindless entertainment"

    Am I the only one who find this to be an oxymoron. If it's mindless, if my mind isn't engaged, I am not being entertained. If I'm not being entertained, I can't call it entertainment. At that point, I just call it a bad movie. That, to me at least, has the benefit of not being self contradictory, yet describes the same product as "mindless entertainment."
  • Jim Carey
    Maybe so, but wild whorses couldn't drag me to this movie.
  • steve adams
    Yea my 2nd to last post was kinda preachy.
    ^
    I'm acting dense this weekend I'm playing Call of Duty4. The Xbox is my way of not seeing bad films.
    :)
  • KEL
    LOL! He's probably funnier than the movie will be! :-D
  • Zachary
    Hah, I guess I am of the "Dense" population. I wont see this when it hits the big screen, but that wont stop me from renting it for some "Dense" laughing fun.

    Please, give it a rest. This movies are ment for mindless entertainment; nothing more, nothing less. You all act like this movie is going to impact the hearts and minds of America.

    Act dense sometimes. It's fun.
  • steve adams
    Well this shat is important.

    Happy new year. Everyone. !!!!
    Steve
  • Surma
    Sorry, but I just realized what we are talking about, and its good evidence that if Vic (and staff) doesn't put news up for a few days we'll find something to "rant" about on our own.
