  I seriously think people from IMDB are getting paid for writing positive reviews. This movie is simply a waste of time. A fan movie could do a better job. This is a very low rental.

  Hey, you really can't give this movie too much crap with it's average at best expectations. Mortal Kombat did pretty much the unthinkable with its confident story and wicked cool action and special effects. But could Prince of Persia step up to the plate and hit a video-game-adaptation homer? It got really close to Mortal Kombat greatness. Sure the script wasn't "Memento" caliber or anything like that, but hey this is one of those movies you can have some fun with, and look back and appreciate it for what it is. A Matinee gives the movie justice. (The whole "Asandsins" thing killed its chances for anything greater) PS: the Prince of Persia series for PS2 owns!!!

  I've seen this movie. The game was excellent, almost perfect apart from the fighting. The movie though, WOW. For what was already in place, this movie did something amazing. It failed. There was a gigantic fan base, awesome storyline, and you know what the movie did? It totally FACEPLANTED. Seriously, the only part of this movie that was at all good was the Sand effect for when he was using the dagger. THAT'S IT. Rental at most. This totally pissed me off, I thought it'd be better.

  My eleven year old sister really wanted to see this movie. I was glad to find out that this movie was a video game movie and not a period flick or "loosly based" on some folklore or something like that. Knowing that, I'll give them some leeway. However, bad dialog, flat charactors and an all around dull story wieghed it down. Action was good and the sand effect was a lot of fun. Plus I'll give them this, given what was set up, this is the only movie I've seen that can pull off a bullshit ending like that and not really piss me off, plus it prevents any damn sequals. I give it a rental, but my sister gives it a full price, so keep that when planning stuff for the kids.

  I think I will check this movie out on Blu-ray when it comes out but I'm not gonna bother seeing it inthe cinema. That being said I actually think Jake Gyllenhaal is a good actor, maybe not this time though, oh well.

  My lil bro likes the video game, but to me all it is is jumping around and talking. But this looked incredibly stupid from the trailer, but there's a small charm to it, that i'd say Very very low matine!

  I thought that this movie was a step up from most video game movies but it still wasn't very good. I just found the movie to be forgettable. If you're just looking to pass the time it's a good watch but don't really expect anything more from it.

  High Matinee. Lots of action, good acting and a bit of humor. Without a doubt the first good video game movie. Almost heals the pain from the Wing Commander and Max Payne movies!

  Solid matinee. Honestly, allowing for the fact we get all sentimental about movies we saw and liked when we were younger, and allowing for how much better these graphics are (let's hear it for CGI), this movie is just about on a par with Raiders of the Lost Ark. Should appeal to the same folks and just about as well. Think about it. If Raiders of the Lost Ark came out today for the first time would it fare any better? People have gotten really oblivious to how much better (on average) movies are now than they used to be. Hollywood seems to finally be realizing what some of the basics of making decent movies are, starting with scripts. And yes, I know there are still endless exceptions to this with real clinkers being made and released every week. I also am not saying this movie could not have been better -- it is, however, better than it had to be.

  well, i really enjoyed the movie, a high matinee / low full price. I wasn't really surprised to see a white guy acting as a Persian. There is a great deal of Persians(Iranians) that you can't even distinguish between them and the Europeans (or white people). i agree with "Wes" 's comment about Jake. Kingsly's actual parents are Indians and gemma in this looks like an arab woman.

  never played the game so I had no idea of the storyline or anything and I thought it was at least a high matinee maybe a full price.

  And yes that ending with Ben Kingsly going back in time is the best ending you guys have done ever. That and the slow motion " *wink* watch this shit!"

  @where's carylye Well I guess that means this is right up your alley then! lol. Kidding aside, I think it would have been more offensive if they attempted an Iranian accent and failed miserable. Also , historicaly speaking (I'm guessing this film takes place in Islamic Persia long aftter Alexander's Greek influence was lost) the characters in this film would all be speaking Arabic (the langague of their conqerors) with what ever the hell kind of accent the natives ( a popluation consisting of many ethneticities) spoke. Now since we pretty much have NO way of knowing how people sounded like back then ( other then the fact we're pretty sure they didn't speak english) you pretty much have free regin to imgaine what they sounded like that with creative liscence. But for those screaming inacuraices , Standard english is taught in many countries as a seconde langage. And more often then not (depening of cousre on the dilecet of the area) the accent is a dead ringer for British. Of course you might be right and this IS a calous ploy to cater to white America. Excepet that it failed miserable because I'm an America and certainly not white. And I loved the hell out of it. Any other non-caucasians enjoy this movie as much as I did? lol

  I thought this was a solid matinee. I went in expecting a big dumb action flick and that's what I got. I was happy, and I thought Jake Gyllenhaal did great considering. The romantic scenes were super cheesy though. Still solid matinee.

  I loved this movie! Jake was sexy.. Must be the rough look. Usually he looks like he's way too cleaned up. But I sat there watching it and not one second was I bored. It was awesome for those of us that are gamers however, I haven't played the game -- still thought it was cool!
