Prince of Persia: Better than I expected

Rating: 9/10 (30 June 2012)

I saw Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time shortly after it came out on DVD. Since I come from a large family, we rarely see films in theatres anymore. However, I wish I could go back in time simply to see this one in a theatre. Prince of Persia is one of the better movies I have seen before, and that is saying a lot, considering I've seen hundreds of films. The acting by Jake Gyllenhal and Gemma Arteton was absolutely superb. They both played their parts exceedingly well, along with the rest of the cast. Personally, I enjoyed the film's lack of profanities or obscurities in it. Thanks probably goes to Disney for that one. This film is one of the best I've seen that lacked the vulgarity so many good films nowadays seem to include. The action was more than enough to keep the boys in the family on their toes, and the budding romance between Dastan and Tamina made my mom and me smile. Honestly I'm surprised it only has a 6.6 rating. It deserves at least an 8 or 9. With its twists and unexpected turns, this is definitely a film anyone could enjoy.
