I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
View MoreThe acting in this movie is really good.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
View MoreThe thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
View MoreI've never played the Prince of Persia games, but this movie wants me to try one of the games. The movie is very good and the visuals are stunning.
View MoreDastan, 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.
View MoreThis movie seems to be based on a computer game, which I never tried and didn't know until I watched the movie. Past in the late period of the Persian Empire, with absolutely fictional characters, its not a historical film and has no relation with historical truth. It's all an invention, a fantasy. The script is interesting, promising entertainment and fulfilling this promise in a very positive way. Jake Gyllenhaal gives life to the film in the lead role, standing out in well-constructed action scenes. Ben Kingsley is a convincing and well-built villain, though it's a bit obvious he's, or will be, the film's big antagonist. Gemma Arterton was OK in her role, which mixes a bit of "Xena, Warrior Princess" and "lady in distress". The remaining actors are in supporting characters but they do their work well enough. The ending, however, is a bit sudden and unsettled from what was happening as if, in the middle of the movie, the protagonist became Indiana Jones and everything turned into a game of deadly, utterly boring, mazes and traps. Either way, this movie is good enough to entertain the audience, it's fun, it has very good action scenes, good CGI and a regular cinematography.
View Moreit is strange to define it as a bad film. because the effort of actors is almost impressive. but, surely, it is a boring movie. because the spirit of original game, the flavor of Orient, the cinnamon of fairy tale are absent. Ben Kingsley does his the best in a dark role who saves few scenes. but the chemistry of love story is only desire and the young hero is only a nice silhouette. sure, for fans of genre may be a splendid show. but except this target, the adventures of Dastan and Amina remains sketch of a predictable story who has lost the sparkle who gives to it rhythm and seduction. I admit, I am profound subjective. or my expectations are too high. but something significant is missing in this film. and this does it only one of many ordinaries tries to adapt a video game to the screen.
