Movies

Let's start with the positive: the movie looks great, the visuals and effects really work. Little else does, though. The cast acts wooden, the story is predictable and boring, borrowing many elements from Gladiator and the end is cheesy as hell. Overall a real waste of time.

While not a classic, Pompeii is actually a pretty enjoyable disaster/action flick that I couldn't wait to see back in 2014. I remember enjoying it in cinemas and have just watch it again for the 2nd time. I really need to get around to watching the 24 minutes of cut footage as I feel several characters were highly underused, especially Carrie Ann Moss and Jessica Lucas. While the ending still kinda annoys me, I really don't think it could've ended any other way.It's fast paced, has some great action scenes and is an overall pretty decent. Nowhere near as bad as others are making out to be. I wish Emily Browning would make more big budget movies.

Kit Harington. and few crumbs of Pompeii. the technology transforms a volcano eruption in piece of cake and the usual love story saves the mistakes . part of a trend - cocktails of legends, ancient history and myths- using history as vehicle for blockbusters, it is only new occasion for the lead actor to remains the same hero from the Game of Thrones. only the clothes are different. and that detail is far to be surprising. because the clichés are essence for the film. Pompeii is a kind of isle under the Roman pressure. nothing new. that is the Pompeii. a nice film. not great but , as many from same genre, good beginning for discover new informations about a lost world.
