Summary: at least it's short
Comment: Epic Movie is a spoof movie. Like Scary Movie (which I've seen) or Date Movie (which I haven't). It contains send-ups, with look-alike actors, of movies as diverse as Snakes on a Plane and Chronicles of Narnia, as well as Nacho Libre, Pirates of the Caribbean, The DaVinci Code, X-Men, etc., etc.
It was fun identifying the movies being spoofed, and, as with all satire, laughing at things that were originally serious, but taken out of context, or shown in a different light, or exaggerated, are funny as heck.
I like satire. In my opinion, though, the only reason for satire (or a spoof, or even a remake) is to add something to the original. Sarcasm, satire, spoofs... done well, they highlight the ridiculous in something serious. And in doing so, you see the original material differently, and maybe even appreciate it more.
However, several of the movies being spoofed were funny or even silly to begin with. There's not a lot of point in making a joke out of something that's already a joke. The originals were much funnier, and simply repeating the joke or dumbing it down didn't shed any light on them.
Also, the original material was so diverse that there wasn't a coherent story, or even a coherent concept.
Plus, it was short. Really short. I didn't even finish my popcorn.

Summary: If you really like movies, avoid this at any cost!!!!!!!
Comment: The worst comedy ever made with Date Movie, Superhero Movie, Meet The spartans... If you whant to see something really funny, go for any Chaplin or Monty Python movie, those are funny, not a spoof on other movies just because they don't have writters good enought to write something very original and funny. Avoid at all cost!

Summary: A Spoof Movie That Flat Out Sucks
Comment: I love spoof movies, no matter what the critics say, but this movie maybe had 2 'ha-ha' moments. It felt like a cheesy YouTube video. The jokes are mainly jokes about MTV shows, a bunch of shows that are dumb in the first place.
The movie parody portions were alright, the only one making me laugh was the 'Jack Swallows' skit. The rest were just overdone and trying too hard to be funny. The only good out of the movie is somewhere at the beginning, a completely nude chick runs out of a closet, but that only last maybe 5 seconds. So if you want to see 5 seconds of greatness in a film that's around 90 long minutes long, be my guest. I'd enver watch it again. Superhero Movie is a much better spoof flick.

The hilarious hi-jinks begin when a hapless group of orphans from curious backgrounds come together to embark on an adventure that takes them to a special chocolate factory where they fall into an enchanted wardrobe and wind-up in a magical land. Here, hilarity ensues when the bungling bunch run into a colorful collection of characters including a flamboyant pirate and a gang of wizardry-apprentices who they join forces with to overthrow the wicked White Bitch of Gnarnia.
