Pompeii (I) (2014)
1/10
Disappointed

Warning: Spoilers
at how incredibly awful 'Pompeii' was. Sheesh, it was such a cheap rip Ripoff of 'Gladiator.' It seems as if Hollywood assumes the 14 to 24 year old kids have never heard of or seen 'Gladiator.' So they do a cheap "Cliff Notes" version of it.

But in the new extremely dumbed down version, they start with the scene in Morocco where Russell Crowe kicks butt in the arena.

Then they introduce the "high class" girl that falls in love with the cute slave guy.

Then they veer off into the teen soap opera BS.

Good God Man!!!! The hero and the African gladiator start off as enemies. But what do you know? After the little cute guy Orlando Bloom look a like that is 5 foot 4 earns his respect, they become best friends. Who could have predicted that? It's a cotton candy film with bad CGI. Pathetic really.

If they had wanted to make a good film, they'd of had the volcano erupt at the beginning and made it 'Pompeii, Zombie Apocalypse.' I would have watched that until the end, unlike this piece of trash.

Oh, my cat that was sitting next to me told me.
