I might see Rambo this weekend. Meet The Spartans is going to be ****. I'm only guessing 2% on the tomato reader.

I'm leaning toward zero and then I'm thinking ten or so . . .

Meet the Spartans: 7%

Heh. Love that Untraceable comment.

I like the way they described Meet the Spartans: 300 You Got Served. I don't know how badly Meet the Spartans'll suck (can there be anything worse than Epic Movie?), but I like that idea: the fusion of seemingly incompatible storylines - maybe if some of Hollywood's more talented flickmakers took a stab at this sort of thing, we'd get more entertaining & worthwhile results.

Like, who wouldn't be intrigued if they took An American Werewolf in London Steel Magnolias and had Steve Soderbergh direct it? I'D sure as hell stand in line for something like that. Ditto if they fused The Godfather Alien Bring It On and Steven Spielberg directed it - why the hell not? It'd be way better than most of the suck-*** **** coming out of Hollywood these days...

Any other suggestions?

Btw, is that Azemat in the Meet the Spartans picture? How can one fall so far from having his balls on Sacha Baron Cohen's talented face?

Meet The Spartans=5%, box office gross=150 Mil. Total

The Air I Breath is at 13%!!! It actually looked good, so I was wondering why it came out in January...

And I agree with AudioNinja, if I was to ever see a movie that has come out this year (or will come out until March), I would see Cloverfield one time for every movie that came out. Seriously, I thought it was pretty good, and if it's a choice between Cloverfield and One Missed Call or that Paris Hilton movie? It's a tough choice, but...

If there is any justice in the world Meet the Spartans will get a 0%

Epic Movie was by far the worst movie I've ever seen or even heard of.
What's with Untraceable having the same "internet-serial killer" plot that's been recycled through every hour-long TV crime drama on CBS?

Meet the Spartans- 8%

Because I have a feeling this is going to be like "In The Name of the King" in the Tomatometer scale.

I'd guess Spartans will get a 12%. Not that I think it'll be funny, just that there are a lot of idiots out there who will think so. Look how many stupid idiots think American Pie is funny.

I really could care less what the reviews for Rambo are. Its a part of movie lore as well as my childhood, and I can't wait to see Sly kick some ***. I mean its Rambo what do these people expect an Oscar contender for best picture?
