Author Topic: Pompeii (2014) Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 03-24-2014 06:28 PM                     Gladiator (2000) meets Volcano (1997) meets Titanic (1997) meets total write-off... Hey, if we don't mind that Romans speak fluent American English, why should anybody give a damn about getting the geography even remotely right? And luckily, Volcanic eruptions come with perfect timing built right in. In need of a dramatic interlude? A moment to grieve for the fallen ones? No problem, nature is at your director's command, just push any key to continue. And BTW: RED: You suck (all what's left of cinematography right out of the movie).  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 04-03-2014 12:01 AM                     I had hoped to see this in the theater but from what I read from the reviews - it's a lot of plodding before the real juice of the film flows - (i.e, the Volcanic eruption) - where a lot of crap blows up and humans and Roman buildings got suckered punched by lava, fumes, and ash ... will wait to rent this on blu-ray, since I think it's slowly leaving theaters at this point in time.  |  IP: Logged
