    far from princely

    by filmhead

    The adventure movie as it has been over the decades demands thrills, spills, and chills as well as the romance interest all encapsulated in two hours. Most have achieved this style and form with the best comparison for something like Prince of Persia are the Sinbad movies of the 1970's or those Arabian movies of 1930's and 1940's. Unfortunately, this Prince falls short in the absolute magic and thrill those movies gave film goers. As a movie adapted from a video game Prince of Persia succeeds far better than most of those badly done flops in enhancing the material, though it is a predictable adventure story utilizing time travel as it main counter force in the usual man vs something adage. Jake G. does well as Dastan and so does Gemma A. Ben Kingsley is an okay villain. The actions is superb and has its thrilling moments but no "oh wow!" piece. I feel most of those people who see it will like it not love it. Overall, more could have been done to make this film better and wasn't, sadly.

    This is one Prince who appears to be having way too much fun with his role, but then again, Why Not! Overall, Great Entertainment, just kick back & enjoy the ride - As the Story unfolded & the young Prince of Persia?s character develops. The Cast of Characters is riddled with enough recognizable Actors, allowing the fresh Talent to Stand & Shine. Our group was a mixture of Tweens, Young Adults, & not-so-young Adults. All were more then satisfied with the 2+ hours spent watching a very entertaining; Adventure / Epic; with sufficient plot twists & turns, predictable and the not so predictable. Just what a Summer Movie should be! Did someone say Sequel? I hope so …
    As an aside, the not-so-young-anymore Mr. Gyllenhaal?s talent & range has come full circle. Over the years, watching, & observing Him in such films as: ?October Sky?, ?Proof?, Brokeback Mountain?, ?Jarhead?, ?Rendition?, ?Brothers?, &, now, ?The Prince of Persia?; it is a treat to watch this Actor grow.

    Prince of Persia Movie Review

    by vaanan_kannan

    Captain Jack Sparrow...You are indeed irreplaceable! Prince of Persia, a potential candidate by Disney to mimic the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean series, is an enjoyable watch, but simply nowhere near Pirates class. Wall running, Ledge hopping, Sword Fights, stunning acrobatics and a few epic, large scale scenes, oh and not to forget the 'sands of time' scenes (though there should have been more of those...Prince Dastan barely uses/is in possession of the dagger for a large part of the movie), all stay largely true to the Prince of Persia, but at the end of it all, it could have been SO much more.There was still a little something missing...Something that would take Prince of Persia from the entertaining good (in some places, even better), to the simply great platform that Pirates of the Caribbean stands on. Prince Dastan can never be a Captain Jack Sparrow, and the Prince ends up as just another mildly entertaining watch.
