I haven't. I wonder why crap such as this, Scary Movie, Epic Movie, Date Movie, etc. keep being made but then opening weekend comes along and they pull in a decent amount of money. I wonder what the level of intelligence is on the people who actually paid, and sat through these movies, and enjoyed them.

No, but I did read a review at AICN. The review mentioned something about a "joke" at the end where the Xerxes character uses the Allspark to merge with a car and turn into a giant robot that projected Chris "Leave Britney Alone" Crocker from a TV in its chest.

Yes, you read that right.

I don't even want to try and wrap my head around such an idea. Just thinking about it kills my brain cells and I'm sure seeing it would lower my IQ by at least fifty points.

Fuck the movie and woe to anyone who brought it to the #1 spot.

I never saw it, and don't intend to. It drives me nuts when people see such obvious crap. Not only do they see it, but they actually make it number one in the box office. They ignore the very poor reviews and see it anyway. I once read in a local newspapers entertainment section, someone complaining about the poor reviews some of the movies they have seen were getting. They wrote something along the lines of "How could you give I now pronounce you Chuck and Larry just one star??!! It made over a million dollars in the first week, so obviously you don't know what you are talking about". The problem with that logic is that the amount of money a movie makes is in no way an indicator of the quality of the movie. Of all the people who saw Meet the Spartans, how many of them actually thought it was worth seeing? I mean you're spending almost $12 on a ticket!

i was sick on friday, and out of boredom i watched it on [url]tvshack.net[/url]

i made it half way through before giving up

it is not as bad as epic movie which was just the worst film i have ever seen, but it was pretty close

according to imdb:

earning so far
Domestic: $33,915,000 95.6%
+ Foreign: $1,573,383 4.4%
= Worldwide: $35,488,383

and it hasn't been released in europe yet

its made its money back

fair enough

now don't make any more of this crap - scary movie ect has already destroyed the spoof genre. now just leave it turning in its grave.
