Meet the Spartans: 4 star review (no joke folks)

Post by Flanger-Hanger »

I found this rather interesting movie review in our school newspaper today. Makes me want to be the one who reviews movies for our school.

Meet the Spartans: 4 stars

"A good movie I saw recently was Meet the Spartans, directed by Jason Friedburg, and Aron Seltzer and starring Sean Maguire and Carmen Electra The main story of the film pokes fun at some well-known movies, such as 300, Ghost Rider, and Shrek the Thrid. Meet the Spartans doesn't end at just making parodies of movies; it also pokes a lot of fun at some well known celebrity figures figures such as Britney Spears, Donald Trump and Ellen DeGeneres. This movie is for people who love to laugh, and have loved the movies they're mocking.
As for an overall rating, I give Meet the Spartans four stars. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys humour because this movie keeps you laughing from the beginning, all the way to the end credits. It also has great acting and the actors did a great job portraying the celebrities. As well, the graphics for this movie were just outstanding."

I have never met this person, nor do I know if he actually saw this movie or if he was high while viewing this, but all I know is my respect for our school newspaper has dropped significantly. (Until I saw this hilarious comic in that same paper which I will post later.)

Meet the Spartans: 4 Stars

I don't know, it sounds to me that regardless of how the movie might be to others, this reviewer has a 4 star experience and a 4 star good time.

When the role of theater is sometimes to point out how silly or stupid or wrong our world is, and make us feel good, maybe this movie is fine doing just that. Haven't seen it, but I kind of want to, and perhaps I will. Maybe it really is bad. I don't know.

The movie has a 3% approval rating on rotten tomatoes and a rating of 2.5/10 on IMDB. Laz wrote an interesting review of the film. I just found it funny how a movie that is just so widely acknowledged as the worst thing to hit movies in recent years got a four star review in our school paper.

Actually, that was Epic Movie. I know these things are easy to get mixed up. More than 1 is 1 too many.

I'm sorry Laz. :( I'm THE worst person when it comes to remembering exactly what people write about on this site.

I want to meet whoever gave that trash four stars and punch him/her in the stomach.
