When Title Pompeii I first thought of a story that describes the destruction of the city at the foot of Vesuvius according to present knowledge - other directors have historical actions implemented better here. This action, however, came too short in my opinion. Certainly, one should not expect documentary, but the title would also "The Celt and the patrician" may be denominated. Basically it was all about the Celtic slaves, which it has drifted by the destruction of his village to Pompeii in the Gladiators Arena and learns to love as a beautiful patrician Pferdelfüsterer daughter with whom he dies together in the end. Certainly the director probably common action and action-packed with authentic garb trying here to bring the viewer closer, but to me it would have been important, also to learn something here after the time of the outbreak. Who has survived of the characters? How has the disaster affected area? Especially as the great Rome has processed this disaster? Of course I have I. Here a very different view, but it would have been interesting but also So the film ends with the included in volcanic ash two lovers. But otherwise considered here, the idea could spread that the director has picked exactly 2 characters and their story was trying to tell, which then led to the petrified corpses. Finally, I would like to justify my 3 stars so that the film was not boring, so 1 star. Technical presentation and effects deserve Star 2 and the third went to the actor. One criticism in the end - in a horse-drawn carriage a pyroclastic cloud (so the result is called when a eruption column collapses and a Caldera arises) to escape for so long is really fictitious, because we know that these currents down noise of up to 800 km / h more I do not need to say.
