ryan b Jan 2 It is basically a rip off of Gladiator, not as well done either. Done have a little charm but honestly it is almost a complete Gladiator wanna-be movie. Acting is bland as well but still worth a watch.

See more Pedro Henrique C @Pedro2005 Jul 2 Pompeii might even be a cool movie to watch in the last few minutes, However, the story has no soul or heart at all, just another film about ancient Rome with fighting and politics in the middle of all this confusion. See more Ben P Jun 11 Anything that happens in Paul W.S. Anderson's Pompeii is a foregone conclusion: the volcano will erupt, the pyroclastic flows will come, and everyone will turn to dust. Like all movies based on true events, it must reckon with the fact that the ending has already been spoiled. In the case of Pompeii, the city, that’s an ending which has been spoiled and kept on display for nearly 2,000 years. You can visit tomorrow and see the mummified corpses in stasis, frozen in time and preserved for all to see. That’s what we think of when we hear "Pompeii"—not the people, not the city, but the explosion and the aftermath. The moment. What Anderson understands better than anyone is this museum can make a hell of a tourist attraction.

See more C 01/05/2025 Bad script, storyline, and video game CGI. The movie should have been about the horrific and devastating volcanic eruption, not a Roman soap opera. Was it really necessary to add a sunami to this terrible event? Kiefer Sutherland only interesting character, but there was no one to root for. I wanted this film to be better. But it was not.
