Best game to movie adaption till date

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2010)

When I went in for the movie, I wasn't expecting much as most game to movie adaptations fail to strike a chord with all but the die hard game fans.
Being a fan of this game series rite from the 80's, I expected to see action sequences from the game, held together by a loose story line, but surprisingly, this one blew me away.....
The makers of this movie have boldly used the thin story from the game to weave a magical tale of action, romance and family bond.
While the key elements from the game like the dagger, the sands, the athletics of the prince still feature in the movie, the rest of the story line has a certain amount of freshness to it.
Jake Gyllenhall is very impressive in his portrayal of Prince Dastan. Gemma is pulls off a strong performance. Ben Kingsley and Alfred Molina - a actors but under-utilized in this instance.
Not to say that its the greatest movie in the genre, but certainly a must watch for Swashbuckling summer entertainment.
