Where's the epic adventure

Rating: 6/10 (31 July 2010)

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is the adaptation of the popular 80's video game The prince of Persia. The movie is about A rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time - a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world. Prince of Persia tries to be an epic adventure full of action, some moments of humor, romance and fantasy. What it really is just an adventure with some decent action, a little of humor and cheesy moments. But not everything is bad, its special effects are quite awesome. The cast is pretty good, their performances not really, Jake Gyllenhaal is good but I think that the role of hero didn't fit him very well, Gemma Arterton was decent enough in her role of Tamina, Sir Ben Kingsley is Nizam, the villain, his performance was maybe the most convincing of all along with Alfred Molina as Sheik Amar, he contribute with the funniest situations of the movie. In conclusion, what promise to be a big epic adventure destined to be a summer blockbuster, ended as a disappointing movie leaving us wanting for more..
