Could have been worse...

Rating: 4/10 (22 September 2010)

Uwe Boll could have directed it.
Throw all the money in the world at this and it's still junk. Arterton is never going to be a leading lady, this and Clash of the Titans is enough to prove this. She may get away with some quirky British films but even then...
Just after halfway through this film I was getting seriously bored. Kingsley was stereotyped and wasted as an actor, Jake is, well, meh. And as stated a few lines up Arterton is, well who cares and that's the point. She could have died early on and I'd have not not given a second thought.
I don't care how much you throw at a movie and this had a lot of dollars, you can't take poo, cover it in glitter and call it a diamond. It seems this was expected to be the result from the makers. Oh how wrong. Sparkly poo is sparkly poo.
If you get a choice, this over something else, watch something else. If your stuck and this is only option, see if you can make it to the end.
Now perhaps, if your a Prince of Persia game junkie and have some kind of emotional link from gaming, your experience may be more enjoyable. Otherwise life is short and this film is wasting it.
