Movie Reviews of The Last Days of Pompeii
Movie Review: A real old but great classic
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a timeless RKO classic. I must say the quality and sound - unlike many other Korean import versions - is excellent. One must remember this is a movie from the 30's and I must say looks & sounds brilliant.
The Korean subtitles can be removed and so do not fret there.
This is one for classic lovers only and a very interesting story regarding a gladiator (Preston Foster) who is forced to make hard choices - at one part of the story, one of which is not to offer aid to Jesus Christ on his way to his crucifixion. A momentary but very interesting play on that particular place & time in Judea, and how that moment plays with the rest of his life and naturally the biggie - Pompeii's destruction. Those of you familiar with the original 1933 King Kong need to get this movie... for no other reason than it is from Merian C. Cooper.
The special effects are good for the times... made in the 30's. I think I am happy to call it an EPIC. Each to his own!
