It wasnt lol. Not at all. Titanic 2 Pompeii was just bad. The leads were uninteresting and the guy was a male Mary Sue. Also, no one except Atticus was even remotely interesting. And he was hardly good. Also, the ending was so cheesy I wanted to gag. Just bad 3/10.

I did... unfortunately. My full review is here; the tl;dr version is below.

This movie finally starts to get moving, even being legitimately interesting and fun, once the volcano starts erupting. But before then, you have to sit through an hour of one of the worst ripoffs of Gladiator and Titanic I've ever seen. Kiefer Sutherland seemed to be the only one who realized what kind of movie he was actually in, and gave an appropriately glorious performance, but apart from him and Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, everyone else (Kit and Emily included) felt like they were disinterested and only there for the paycheck. Oh, and the gladiator fights and battles are some of the most poorly-shot action scenes I've ever seen in my entire life. How is it that Paul W. S. Anderson is still allowed to make action movies, again?

The second hour, OTOH, is awesomely bad, fully embracing its own cheesiness in a way that only Jack Bauer had the good sense to before then, with all manner of stuff getting blown up. The CGI destruction is miles better than the hand-to-hand fight scenes. It's almost a completely different movie, and it almost makes the first half worth a matinee. Almost.

Eh, I was just looking for something to pass the time once work was canceled that day, given that I was already out and close to a movie theater and I didn't want to waste gas driving home without doing anything productive. (My car runs on premium. Just one more reason why I'm trading it for a Prius the second I move down to Fort Lauderdale.) I kind of knew what I was getting into, given that it's a Paul W. S. Anderson movie, though I didn't expect the first half to be as bad as it was.

And we can't act like the second half was all that good either. It simply didnt bore me to tears lol.

I ended up seeing this despite of warnings lol
It's mostly watchable and not boring, as you keep waiting for the final. Visual effects are very good.
BUT I've already seen the same thing in many action and peplum movies. Kit Harington was a poor choice and now I even wonder why he's into acting. It sounds like he's not into it at all, between this one and his GOT part. He's got dramatically nothing inside, that's pretty scary. There are talented actors like condemned in low budget movies and that guy got this role just because ... thanks to what, I do wonder.
