Perfect for a Sunday Afternoon.

Rating: 8/10 (8 December 2010)

Prince of Persia was always a set of games I thought about playing but never got around too, it was pretty similar with the film because when I saw a trailer I really wanted to watch it but once again never got round to it until this past weekend.
I didn't know quite what to expect from it in all honesty but hand on heart I can say I thoroughly enjoyed it, it's got a good plot with believable characters and some decent action scenes. I've never been a massive fan of Jake Gyllenhaal but I thought he was well suited to the role of the Prince, Gemma Arterton was smoking hot as ever! That probably won't change your opinion whatsoever but I thought I'd add it anyway. I was surprised to see Richard Coyle in there and only realised it was him when the credits were rolling.
If there was one thing that slightly bugged me it was the near the end when Dastan uses the dagger and pretty much brings it all back to the start of the film, whilst it made sense and if such a thing happened it's what most of us would've done(hopefully), it felt a little bit cheap and nothing that had happened in the story seemed to matter.
To sum it up I really enjoyed Sands of Time, it's one of those easy to watch movies that don't require much thought and is perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Hopefully the sequel will be just as good! Thanks for reading.
