May 24, 2014Pompeii will probably compete with I, Frankenstein or 300: Rise of an Empire for my least favorite movie of 2014. I, Frankenstein still beats the others for being the worst, but Pompeii was pretty awful. It was essentially a Gladiator rip-off with a volcano about to erupt and kill everyone (but Gladiator was awesome and this was garbage). Pompeii starred Kit Harrington (John Snow from Game of Thrones), which is probably the only reason anyone anywhere saw it, and had some surprisingly bad cameos by good actors (Keifer Sutherland and Jared Harris). Since it was (loosely) based on real events, we all knew what had to happen at the end of the movie but they drew it out and made it weak. They had a good story to work with and they blew it.
