Film Review - Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)


Prince of Persia is based on the video game of the same name and is also the latest blockbuster from veteran producer Jerry Bruckheimer, the story here is that there is a young boy from the streets (who's totally not Aladdin) who is adopted by a king as he shows great courage, but the prince played by Jake Gyllenhall soon finds himself on the adventure of a lifetime with a mystical princess played by Gemma Arterton.

To be honest, this movie sucked the big one, not as much as Robin Hood did but was a little better than Clash of the Titans, Gyllenhall is pretty much the best thing about the movie as he's pretty good in holding his own, however this film had no script at all, the battle scenes were pretty much the same as the game that inspired this movie and Arterton was a little too much like Carrie Fisher in the first Star Wars.

But that's not all that this movie suffers from, it also suffers from a villain which pretty much makes you think "I'm the bad guy" the moment he's introduced and there's the return of our old friend the reset button, plus that time honoured tradition of a good and respectful actor making a complete idiot of himself for a few dollars more, ah the little things in life.

So overall as I said, this movie sucks and isn't worth your time, hopefully Toy Story 3 can redeem the blockbuster season before Twilight sucks out it's audience, but please don't see this I mean it's only got a 1 out of 5 and you wouldn't see a movie rated only that high right.

Right?
