Linkshoch Wonderful Movie

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

vinicius There is a solid reason why I don't watch video game adaptations. Not only they fail miserably in capturing the mood of the games but they also decide to alter the story for some reason. Plus, Jake doesn't look near as the Prince and his outfit is from the second game. This makes me wonder who their target audience is. Certainly not fans of the game trilogy.

Mihai Toma Dastan, the smallest prince of Persia, attacks with his brothers a city which holds a big mystery. While celebrating the victory, he's accused of murdering his father with a poisoned cape so he escapes with the city's princess, seeking justice. In his adventures with the mischievous princess, he will find out a dark secret about his family but also about the city he conquered which together could mean a radical change in history. His task will prove to be even harder because his enemies will throw their best weapons into the fight, hoping to keep him away from the truth and his destiny.It's a movie which interested me for a long time as I am a fan of the computer games series with the same name and I can say that I wasn't disappointed. It's interesting, full of combat as the games, with a good and entertaining plot which eventually leads to an exciting finale. What I don't like about it is the fact that it doesn't take itself seriously in too many scenes, leaving the impression of a parody and not a serious movie. I don't mind comedy in such a movie but if you exaggerate with it, you can influence it negatively. Also, although its story was overall good and enjoyable, it was a bit too simplistic in some ways, making me lust for something a bit different.As a whole, it's a movie which told a story I like in a pleasant way but which didn't manage to impress as much as it could have.

Eric Stevenson Well, the score here isn't that high, but it's certainly enough for a good movie. I admit to knowing little about the "Prince Of Persia" games. Then again, that might be for the better. Seeing as how video game movies so poorly represent their source material, I don't what to know if they botched it. Well, this is quite faithful as far as I know. I had no idea Ben Kingsley would be in another video game movie, not that it would be hard to be in a better movie than "BloodRayne". I guess the film's biggest strengths are how nice it looks and how the actors are fairly good. It's probably the best live-action video game adaptation I've ever seen.I simply have to say good things like this on at least one of these movies. I admit the plot is a little weak. It didn't seem to really explain how the magic dagger worked that well. Still, as far as leave your brain at the door movies go, this was quite enjoyable. It certainly has interesting ideas and it does have some nice twists. I do like how he initially thinks his father was killed by his brother but it's really his uncle. Does that make this a loose interpretation of "Hamlet"? It's a fairly fun movie. ***

Rafael Dillon I decided to watch this film because of 2 reasons: I'm a fan of the original Prince of Persia games, and I like some movies where Jake Gyllenhall is. But this was a total deception. It was a movie without emotions, boring since the first moment. It seemed like someone woke up one day and decided to make a movie about Prince of Persia without any script or any idea on how to make a movie INTERESTING. And, at moments, this movie seemed like a parkour advertising.
