Not just another video game movie....

Rating: 8/10 (10 June 2010)

Well, few of the hyped video game movies released in last couple of years, Max Payne (which actually induced maximum pain to sit through whole movie), over hyped under delivered Residence Evil-Degeneration and passable Tekken. Of this genre, Prince of Persia is the best I have seen in recent past.
This movie is everything which its promise to be - entertaining, enthralling and remind you the video game. Bonus, it has a story as well, which I was not expecting at all. If you'd have played the game, you know it's more of a jumping, acrobatic prince you're handling than sword and hand-bomb actions. Movie gives you the same dusty game like feeling, remember you have to make prince jump from pole to pole, roof to roof in the game; you'll find a lot of that in this movie.
On critical side, movie has underplayed bond girl Gemma. Her role could have been more glamorous as Princess Tamina.
Take away - refreshing and entertaining
