305

Just what the world needed... another "300" parody only this time make it extra lame.

This particular one is not nearly as funny or interesting as "Meet the Spartans" which was actually a very fine and comical parody of "300".

This version almost seems intent on being bad with the "five extra lost" Spartans being seriously un-Spartan-like and yes, even a special-ed kid would get that, but come on... who finances all these crappy movies? Avoid this stupidness like the plague, unless you liked "Hottie or Nottie" in which case, don't rent but buy the DVD. Everybody else can just say no.

In a horrible era of 'Meet the Spartans', 'Epic Movie' and 'Scary Movie 30', there is a flick that finally pops out of this pop-culture clusterbang that doesn't rely on other people's success and good writing. This flick is told almost like 'The Office', where all the characters are being interviewed as well as looking directly to the cameras. It is shot almost entirely against a green screen, with the backgrounds looking like something from Castle Wolfenstein, but the acting and stories are surprisingly good for a movie that has its roots in youtube super stardom. Surprisingly original, ingeniously written, and full of hilarity. Check out this flick if you're also sick of all these remakes and pop culture regurgitation.

Just so you know, I liked "300" and loved "Meet The Spartans". And still, when I came across this one, I thought "Man, this is going to be the worst movie ever".

And that's the surprise: although there's minimal money and cast, these are set aside for a "spin-off" of sorts - about 5 Spartans that weren't in "300". From then on, it's not just a spoof, but a whole new story of its own.

And, yes, funny. Maybe because everything is so damn absurd. It's shot in a mockumentary mode, and that adds to the silliness of everything. It's not for everyone's tastes though. If you don't like silly comedies that don't take anything seriously you won't like this.

So if you don't mind the VERY low budget, you might find some unexpected laughs in here. I think they did a pretty good job.

6/10

This was a very funny movie and I think it was done with tongue in cheek. It is of course a semi mocumentary of the movie 300 but with a few twists. These five guys were suppose to be watching the goat path. They left their post and craziness ensues.

The actors are not taking themselves seriously and are just having fun. It shows and makes the movie sort of charming along with funny and amusing.

No budget, no special effects but well acted and well written. for what is is...it is way above the norm.

Compared to equivalent budgeted movies this thing is a blockbuster!

I just saw this movie and i loved it, first of all its very low budget. The whole thing was done on a green screen and although it may sound rubbish the overall effect is really good.

The main characters are 5 pretty crappy Spartans who weren't at Thermopylae, instead they were given the task of guarding the secret goat pass, which they fail to do resulting in Leonidas and the 300 dying. They then become the laughing stock of Sparta and now Claudius, Darryl, Demetrius the Blind, Shazaam and Testicleese have to go on a heroic journey to show themselves as true Spartans with no weapons and no brains. Just the desire to prove themselves as warriors.

Its a great comedy with loads of laugh out loud moments and a really hot girl. It has a big internet following and a growing amount of fans. Well worth watching in my opinion.
