The biggest problem that Spartans has is the same one that The Comebacks and Balls of Fury had: It just isn't funny. There are a couple of chuckle-inducing moments, but for the most part Meet the Spartans is painfully boring. Oddly enough, Meet the Spartans doesn't even bother to spoof other sword & sandal flicks, opting instead for cheap riffs on celebrity news that's already old hat. But then that might suggest that the idea of making yet another spoof has merit. Not so. Hollywood needs to stop making spoofs. There have been too many of them lately and almost all are terrible.
