Entertaining (game) adaptation

Rating: 8/10 (8 October 2010)

I have played the original "Prince of Persia" on an old PC, back in the day. Of course you cannot compare this movie to that game (or any other game) that came out up to the point they made the movie. And this might be one of the best adaption of a game yet. It is entertaining, light and has adventure. What more could you want?
Jack G. is also very convincing in his (key) role, which I have to admit, wasn't so sure about. And I wasn't the only one who raised an eyebrow, when I heard he was going to be the lead in this. Gemma Arterton seems to be everywhere right now. The Girl from St. Trinian was also in the Clash of the Titans remake and quite a few other movies coming out. And she deserves all the attention she is getting.
Overall this of course is popcorn, but is made in a fashion so that you can enjoy it. Unless you were expecting something different or have a problem with Bruckheimer movies in general (it's hit and miss with me, in this case, obviously hit, no pun intended).
