Hmm...not bad

Rating: 7/10 (22 June 2017)

Well, the score here isn't that high, but it's certainly enough for a good movie. I admit to knowing little about the "Prince Of Persia" games. Then again, that might be for the better. Seeing as how video game movies so poorly represent their source material, I don't what to know if they botched it. Well, this is quite faithful as far as I know. I had no idea Ben Kingsley would be in another video game movie, not that it would be hard to be in a better movie than "BloodRayne". I guess the film's biggest strengths are how nice it looks and how the actors are fairly good. It's probably the best live-action video game adaptation I've ever seen.
I simply have to say good things like this on at least one of these movies. I admit the plot is a little weak. It didn't seem to really explain how the magic dagger worked that well. Still, as far as leave your brain at the door movies go, this was quite enjoyable. It certainly has interesting ideas and it does have some nice twists. I do like how he initially thinks his father was killed by his brother but it's really his uncle. Does that make this a loose interpretation of "Hamlet"? It's a fairly fun movie. ***
