Audience Member Absolutely horrendous. Barely ANY factual content about the eruption and destruction of Pompeii. Pfffttt....what a true waste of time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/15/24 Full Review Gorptholemew T 🍀 3.5/10 Gladiator but shitty, oh but did we tell you there was a volcano as well. Cool glossy state of the art visuals effects aren’t enough, for this utterly uninteresting, underdeveloped, movie. that even my man Paul W.S Anderson doesn’t even manage to make it fun like he’s previous work (Well ok I guess it is a tragedy based on real events so erm yeah). Still that last shot was actually pretty Great. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/21/24 Full Review BJ M This disaster epic is a lot better than it is being rated. The visuals were spectacular. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Jacob B Paul W.S. Anderson takes a break from pissing off Resident Evil fans to piss off historians instead with Pompeii, a movie that really only stands out because of the genre mashup of disaster film and historical fiction. Naturally, the part where Mount Vesuvius erupts is the best moment of the film with terrific, if not on the same level as Roland Emmerich's 2012, special effects. But before that, you have to deal with boring arena fights that just scream "We have Gladiator at home", a clichéd story that seems to be emulating Titanic when it comes to love, uninteresting characters with Kit Harington only being there to get female Game of Thrones fans' butts in seats & Kiefer Sutherland being the only one to deliver a memorable performance thanks to his odd accent to remain consistent with the rest of the cast and an ending that felt like it made any investment we did have in the heroes pointless. Remember, our main characters are fictitious so you can't really make any arguments about it being a foregone conclusion. After the okay, if somewhat weird, film adaptation of The Three Musketeers from 2011, Paul W.S. Anderson's next period piece film is a dull, clichéd film that only picks up steam in more ways than one at the climax whilst the rest of the film prior to that can best be described as at its core, doing nothing more than beating around the bush. At least this film has coherent editing unlike the following Resident Evil film. Now THAT was a massive letdown, even for people who unironically like those movies. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Tallon K It was successful...in showing even when then they rip off a successful plot (Gladiator), writing, directing, and acting still make a difference. Even the costumes and music couldn't be replaced with cheap CGI. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/27/24 Full Review Dave C Freakin decent. Stayed awake the whole time!
