Terrible film - a "how not to act in a blockbuster"

Rating: 1/10 (10 May 2010)

I went to watch the world premier of the new Jerry Bruckheimer summer "blockbuster" - prince of Persia The sand of time yesterday at Starcity in Birmingham UK.
Some spoilers below.
All I can say is what a load of rubbish ! I was so let down by the film. The acting by all in the film (including Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton & Ben Kingsley) was really really bad - at times I thought I was watching a comedy sketch making fun of bad actors. The comedic part of the film played by Alfred Molina was terrible - the jokes just did not work.
The special effects (as you would imagine) were great and some of the fight sequences were good - but there was no plot - except everyone fight to location 2 then to location 3 then back to location 1.... really bad.
No one cared who died or lived in the film - both brothers (Toby Kebbell, Richard Coyleand) and father (Ronald Pickup) did nothing to support Jake Gyllenhaal - which I think really showed in the overall film. These character really needed to help support the main character to give depth, but this was just not the case.
And Ben Kingsley as the main "bad guy" was soooo bad. They really did not build his character up as evil at all - one small act does not make a terrifying foe for the hero of a film.
Although I got free tickets for this event (thank you sky . com) - I was totally let down by the film. Really really disappointed.
