A good 2 hour movie!

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2010)

I have to admit I didn't expect much. When I first saw the trailer I thought that it looked alright but maybes a film I should skip seeing. However my friend and I went to see the movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The movie does have its downsides though. Some of the jokes and puns just didn't make people laugh, however some were very funny! Also, Ben Kingsley should have been in it more. I am a big fan of his and would love an extended version with an additional 2 hours of Nizam lol.
Other than that the movie is great. I understand that it doesn't follow the games storyline but it is very interesting. Since watching this film I have become interested with the Persian Empire. And also a lot of people have been comparing this movie to Pirates of the Caribbean or Lord of the rings but this movie should never be compared to them because this film is so different which is refreshing.
Overall: If you didn't like the game you probably wont like this. Also don't go into the cinema expecting the world because a lot of people do that with every film they go to see and consequentially rate it down.
The film was a good opening to possible sequels but there is a lot of room to improve. So go and see it as it is an exciting and gripping storyline.
