Pompeii: Movie Review



By Zach Cooper
On Saturday, I was able to see the all-new movie Pompeii. The movie is about a slave (Milo), whose family was killed by Rome, who is transferred to Pompeii to become a gladiator. Along the way, he meets Cassia, a high ranking in Pompeii. Her parents are actually the rulers. The two do have a strong loving relationship, but at that time, Pompeii was trying to receive money from Rome to budget a new coliseum. Rome sends out Senator Clovis, who is looking more for a wife than to budget Pompeii. In the movie, we see Milo fight for Cassia, no matter their class. Along the way, Milo also meets the tall and fierce Atticus, who is already a gladiator.  He too plays a major role in the film, not to be spoiled.
 
This whole time, the lava of nearby Mount Vesuvius is working up a storm. In the end, the lava turns the whole town and its people into rock.
 
THIS WAS BY FAR THE BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR. I would consider it my second favorite movie, after Titanic. It is a really wonderful love story, which might require you to bring a few pieces of tissue.
 
Out of 10, I would rate it a 10.
