''The acting was pretty solid, but the story bored me''

 

Pompeii: A slave-turned-gladiator finds himself in a race against time to save his true love, who has been betrothed to a corrupt Roman Senator. As Mount Vesuvius erupts, he must fight to save his beloved as Pompeii crumbles around him.

It feels like this story has been made a thousand times and this one was pretty thin and a bit predictable. I was just waiting for the volcano to errupt, but it came very late. The acting was pretty solid, but the story bored me a bit since it did not bring anything new to table. You can take a story that has been made over and over again, but if you add your own take on it, it can still be pretty interesting, but this was not.
