Genre: Action,History,Romance

Its an entertaining watch, from a piece inspired from history

You may look forward to:

• Beautiful casting of the city Pompeii..dream like but believe me, this city existed in history and still does in remains
• The base story musnt have required too much effort to work since it is etched from the history of Pompeii, however, the writer did a good job of entertaining the audience with good deal of gladiator fights and a romantic story underneath.What makes the movie watchable is the difference in story and presentation from first half to second
• Kit Harington, better known for TV Series than in movies, the role didnt demand any extra ordinary from stories like this, yet he delivers some good action scenes
• Emily Browning again not a very known figure, she did well on her part
• Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, name or family!! :) He was heroic and his part added quite a weight to the meaty action sequences :)
• Kiefer Sutherland was our regular dictator like bad man :)
• Jessica Lucas was a faithful servant and a good support
• 3D was a pleasure to watch

What you can sleep over:

The roles of Pompeii City ruler and his wife. Such puny, uninteresting and weak character sketches

The dampeners you should be aware of:

These movies are typical and doesnt really create any hype for which you expect a lot and get disappointed not meeting the quality of it. No regrets! :)

My rating: 3/5
