      Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy There are a few grace notes here and there that suggest, however slightly, the touch of [Sergio Leone], but in the main, it lacks very much personality in any way whatsoever. Rated: 5/10 Aug 6, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

      camille l The Last Days of Pompei est un péplum des années 50s plutôt bien produit, avec de splendides décors, des costumes pas si ridicules et une séquence finale d'éruption volcanique assez convaincante. En dehors de ça, il n'y a pas grand-chose à signaler si ce n'est une histoire de guerre de religions un peu obscure, des acteurs qui en font 3 fois trop (Fernando Rey) ou 3 fois pas assez (Steve Reeves) et une musique passe-partout. Il n'en demeure pas moins que Mario Bonnard et Sergio Leone gardent le tout assez rythmé, ce qui permet au film de se regarder sans déplaisir. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member oooh another steve reeves movie Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member ***Due to the recent RT changes that have basically ruined my past reviews, I am mostly only giving a rating rather than a full review.*** Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Acceptable and high budgeted Peplum with the corpulent Steve Reeves--Muscles And Lava!! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member J'avais "adoré" ce film quand j'étais enfant ! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Despite the directorial credit going to Mario Bonnard, he really only worked on the pre-production of the film, and was replaced very early on in production with his Assistant Director, who just happened to be Sergio Leone, making this Leone's directorial debut, technically speaking. The film is a big lavish italian epic sword and sandal feature, showcasing some of Leone's visual flair for violence and use of widescreen and color. The film isn't Leone's best work, and he isn't the icon he would become with "A Fistful of Dollars", but it if you like old epics like this, you may find some enjoyment here...but I admit that I really didn't care too much for this one, but at least the production was top notch.
