Someone should start a Kickstarter to raise money for Kit Harington to get acting lessons.

It all depends on you. If you want to watch an original and profound movie and learn something about the Roman Empire, just forget it. If you want to watch a effect ridden action adventure, you are going to like this. It is not the movie of the year but I surely had a great time watching it.

First of all: Pompeii felt like a little bit like „Gladiator“ with Russel Crowe, but more than in a bad way. If you gonna watch this movie, you get good special effects , and a bad story line with some plot holes. You already might know at the beginning of the movie, how it is gonna end - you at least gonna guess the middle „game“ of this Hollywood production. And I feel a little bit bad for movies which have a bad story. You put millions of millions of Dollar$ into the special effects, production, actors and you put a fast-food story line in it? Why!? .-/ Paul W.S. Anderson used the special effects too much. In those scenes, where the action is going on, the cuts were not the very best. He want to put so much action in it, that you might get a little bit confused - at least I got a little bit confused during watching. And since I do not want to spoiler too much: a special scene where a character is dying… come on: You possible can not put more pathetic bullshit in it - can you? Pompeii or is it spelled Pompeji (?) is getting 6 out of 10 trakt hearts. It is okay to watch this movie, if you want to turn your brain off for ~1.5 hours, but not worth to watch it a second time.

I was surprised I enjoyed this a lot. This is not a very good movie and the actors are ugly and look unsympathetic but somehow I (or the movie) surpassed all of it! I cared about every single character and the movie connected with me on some level.

I loved this, why is sooo underrated. . .
