Pompeii is one of the great underexplored subjects in cinematic history. There's rich dramatic potential in the stories of the civilization ended by Mt. Vesuvius' sudden, terrible eruption in 79 A.D. and they've been barely exploited save for several adaptations of Edward Bulwer-Lytton's 19th century novel "The Last Days of Pompeii."

Paul W.S. Anderson, the auteur of trash like the "Resident Evil" movies, isn't the first filmmaker that comes to mind in terms of ideal Pompeii adapters. He's not even the fifth, or the tenth, or the fifteenth. Roman Polanski, who attempted a Pompeii movie, would rank higher on that list. So would screenwriter Robert Towne ("Chinatown"), who took a crack at a miniseries.This is the hand we've been dealt, though, and the truth is that Anderson's 3-D "Pompeii" is a fine old-fashioned entertainment,(Download Pompeii Movie) a "Gladiator"-lite with sweeping scope. It's a giant spectacle about a gladiator-slave named Milo (Kit Harington) who falls for the wealthy Cassia (Emily Browning),who is betrothed to an evil Roman senator (Kiefer Sutherland, wildly overacting), in the days before the Vesuvius eruption.

Most of the picture treads conventional ground from a narrative standpoint, albeit with interstitials showcasing the angry, bubbling volcano. This isn't really a film about the particulars of Pompeii's civilization, though the foreshadowing gives it a haunting, apocalyptic undercurrent. Plus, the movie attempts to address the uncomfortable clash between big business interests and moral standards,(Download Pompeii Movie) which is more than can be said for most similar efforts.At heart, this is a classic B-picture, a sword-and-sandals epic with action that fluidly occupies every bit of the three-dimensional frame, impressively layered wide shots and production design that rejects the computerized-sameness of so many modern period action spectacles for a measure of authenticity.It is, in other words, a 3-D movie both in terms of its cinematographic presentation and in its incorporation of a reasonably engaging story. "Pompeii" isn't the authoritative movie on this particular subject. We're still waiting for that. But it's a respectable effort.

Here’s the problem with Pompeii – I didn’t hate it. I KNOW. Paul W.S. Anderson is the poor man’s Michael Bay, I get the hate, but the dude knows how to orchestrate a blockbuster film. Give him some funding and the action flows, whether it be smoke monsters or destructive typhoons – this didn’t have to be a historically accurate film, right? No, Pompeii is exactly the film you’d expect,(Download Pompeii Movie) drawing out a horrific natural disaster far longer than necessary while interjecting a misguided love story so audiences can engage dramatically. The destruction of Pompeii just isn’t enough to hook viewers these days I guess, as Paul guides audiences through the motions of yet another ridiculous mainstream blockbuster – but at least he does so with vigor and chaos.

Pompeii transports viewers back to a time when gladiators were modern-day rockstars, politics usually involved literal backstabbing, and where every man was held to a strict 6 ab quota – unless you were rich enough. While everyone knows of the tragic historical event that saw Mount Vesuvius obliterate a flourishing harbor city, our story follows Milo (Kit Harington), a slave turned super-gladiator attracting attention for all the wrong reasons. Winning the eye of Cassia (Emily Browning),(Download Pompeii Movie) Milo finds himself in a constant power struggle with a corrupt Senator (Kiefer Sutherland) who wants only to see him dead. While fighting what was supposed to be an losing affair, Mount Vesuvius decides to add a natural disaster to the list of things trying to kill Milo, but as the massive coliseum crumbles around our warrior hero, a successful escape seems less likely with each passing second. Will Milo forever be preserved in Pompeii’s ruin?

Here’s the part in most other critical reviews where the author will note numerous historical inaccuracies about a film that eviscerates Roman culture quicker than Mount Vesuvius demolished Pompeii, possibly referencing how “Rome was built in a day, but Paul W.S. Anderson destroyed Pompeii with this hour and a half atrocity” – but I’m not sold. We’ve all seen Anderson’s Resident Evil series,(Download Pompeii Movie) right? Convoluted, messy filmmaking that’s strangely endearing at times (depending on which flick), always emphasizing over-the-top action and gnarly visuals. We all saw The Three Musketeers, right? You know, the Alexandre Dumas adaptation that features a blimp? Pompeii delivers exactly as advertised – a convoluted script, a groan-worthy love story, chiseled gladiator abs, and Mount Vesuvius’ glorious eruption – please tell me you weren’t expecting a History Channel type documentary here.

With that said, Paul W.S. Anderson tries to channel his inner Nicholas Sparks when establishing Milo and Cassia’s forbidden love, doing so with the grace of an energy-drink guzzling bull in a China shop.(Download Pompeii Movie) I understand every director’s desire to create romantic tension, because audiences eat up even the tiniest morsel of relationship drama, but when two male gladiator friends have better chemistry than a gladiator and his lusty crush, well, insert joke about a fairy tale that goes up in smoke. Sure, it’s still a better love story than Winter’s Tale, but coming off one of the most loveless Valentine’s Day box-office debuts in recent memory, that’s not exactly a gold star.

Only weighing down Pompeii is another role by Kit Harington that suggests our young Game Of Thrones star is a one-trick pony, walking and pouting like some hunk of man meat forged from the fantasies of daydreaming suburban housewives.(Download Pompeii Movie) Embodying the personality of any Pompeiian ash statue, Harington struggles to create a watchable character beyond abs and nipples, as even those transfixed womanly eyes will become bored by Harington’s wooden, lifeless character – only bested (worsted?) by Kiefer’s hilariously dastardly evil Senator act. Imagine if a Hanna Barbera cartoon villain was stuck in ancient Rome, perpetuating an epic standoff with a protagonist sack of potatoes – SURROUNDED BY ASH AND FIRE.

Pompeii is a cliché ridden, airy, smokey bit of cinema that will be forgotten in a matter of years, and Paul W.S. Anderson haters will surely have a field day with his historically inept disaster flick. But when the action is heavy and Milo isn’t talking, Pompeii is fluffily entertaining. I’m disappointed an R-rating wasn’t implemented, as confusingly bloodless battles defy biological science,(Download Pompeii Movie) but I stand by Anderson’s action choreography, and compared to a film like The Legend Of Hercules, Pompeii plays like an Oscar favorite. Whatever - Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje rules, massive architectural destruction creates momentary bouts of impressive visual splendor, unintentional laughs are abundant, and I had a decently good time with it all. There. I said it.

Knowing exactly how a disaster movie is going to end hasn't stopped Hollywood from making them. Pearl Harbor and most obviously Titanic are the clearest examples of films we know are going to end with practically none of the principle characters walking away, and yet some love these movies as inevitably tragic romances.(Download Pompeii Movie) And now you can throw Pompeii into the mix, a lava-filled historical action flick from Resident Evil director Paul W.S. Anderson. Blending the swords 'n sandals combat of Gladiator with the doomed love affair of Titanic, we could probably fill the Roman Colosseum with all the corny clichés until the volcano erupts and destroys everything.

Game of Thrones star Kit Harington packs on some serious muscle as Milo, a Celtic slave held as a gladiatorial combatant by his Roman captors. Flashbacks take us back to Milo's childhood, when his family and entire village were wiped out by the evil senator Corvus (Kiefer Sutherland), filling the boy with a lust for revenge.(Download Pompeii Movie) Now an adult, he's been sent to Pompeii where he'll continue to serve and fight. But during the trek, he encounters the broken down carriage of Cassia (Emily Browning), the daughter of Pompeii's head family (Stephen Harris and Carrie-Anne Moss). Milo's soft features and humane treatment of her injured horse melts Cassia's heart, but obviously any love between them can never be due to their stations in life.

Just in time for Mt. Vesuvius to start rumbling, Corvus arrives in Pompeii as an emissary of Emperor Titus. Looking to strike some sort of business deal, he uses his position to try and worm his way back into Cassia's life after they shared some sort of history back in Rome. Meanwhile, Milo becomes reluctant friends with Atticus (Adewale Akkinnuoye-Agbaje), a champion gladiator one victory away from freedom. It's all very Gladiator-lite up to this point, but it's entertaining in a cheesy,(Watch Pompeii Online) predictable sort of way. And really, it would work perfectly fine as such without the intrusion of the erupting volcano, which arrives and renders literally everything we just watched as meaningless.Anderson shows surprising restraint for a good deal of the film, holding off on many of the big set pieces until the lava starts flowing. There are a number of solid sword clashes, in which Harington gets to show off his well-versed combat skills from Game of Thrones, and despite the PG-13 rating they are sufficiently brutal and bloody.

Pompeii Movie Watch Online

Harington gets plenty of opportunity to show off his glistening abs and glistening locks, although his romance with Browning lacks any true spark.(Watch Pompeii Online) Once Vesuvius blows, Anderson gets to show off the talent for visual effects spectacles he's always been known for. More than lava threatens to destroy the city as Anderson hurls giant fireballs, rains burning ash, and unleashes a deadly tsunami that would have Noah racing to build another ark. These are captured in epic fashion, seen from up close and afar to encapsulate the entirety of the devastation.If looked at merely as an action film, Pompeii has all the technical merits, rippling muscles, and chariot battles one could ask for, but as a romance it's something of a disaster itself.
