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 butt. I mean its Rambo what do these people expect an Oscar contender for best picture?

Meet the Spartans T-meter: 2% If one critic finds it funny that will be something, the commercials don't make me laugh, except at its stupidity. 2% is being generous

Meet the Spartans...-51%. its so bad more people ask for their money BACK than people who pay. i can't imagine the tards who will be in the theater for that. the first 5 seconds of the trailer i'm like, oooh yeah the 300 sequel(wait, already??) then i realized it was a spoof and tried very hard to see ANY punchlines in the preview. there were NONE. ANY person who says it looks funny should be put on the same deserted island we've reserved for Owe Boll. cuz their intelligence is beyond saving...

Rambo...ah rambo rambo rambo. i loved the older films in which he was a ripped guy who scares you(i was also like 10 at the time). this one he looks like Rosie Odonnell's lesbian life partner. his face just looks so off in this. i know at his age he needed extra "help" to achieve his muscles but he just looks so odd, like he's Joan Rivers' daughter. i don't know if i can see an action film with him lookin' like that, cept maybe if its called Rambolina...

Ahh, entertainment for idiots. I'll say a overripe 3%, because there's always a reviewer or two that feels compelled (*cough* paid *cough) to give a decent review.

Who keeps producing these terrible movies (I can't bring myself to call them "films")?

Someone please stop funding these unfunny 'spoofs' if you can even call them that. Just because you copy a line from a movie doesn't mean you are satirizing anything. My hopes -2% and that no one watches this movie. My predictions? Tons of kids who no longer know what is funny will pay money for it and some unqualified critics will say "lighten up you know what your getting" and give it a thumbs up. What kind of critique is that? Gah! Some critics on used on RT should just be ignored.

I imagine that this'll get a positive review from the same ****head critic that liked Daddy Day Camp.

Meet The Spartans-1%
It doesn't even deserve that,but there's always gotta be an idiot who thinks this kind of garbage is funny. This is the same type of person who laughs every time he farts.

Meet the Spartans looks like a worst film of the year candidate. My guess is it will score a 0%.

I'm either going to see Rambo today or Walk Hard(haven't seen it yet) hopefully it is still out around me. Also if there is any justice in the world, Meet the Spartans reels all over the world will spontaneously combust(could've sworn that's how you spell it. before they are inserted into the projector.

Rambo had no chance with the critics from the beginning. It's a pure action film from start to finish. Critics are too pretentious to actually enjoy something like Rambo.
