it is a good movie for fantasy entertainment

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2010)

I just got home from viewing Prince of Persia with my thirteen year old niece. Even with our age difference we both agreed about one thing, that it was too long. I do not think it was well edited. Some scenes were too long or could have just been cut, and it would have conveyed the same story with more interest and imagination. I felt myself getting bored and wanting to scream get on with it! Without revealing too much, the main "object" changed hand a few too many times for my taste. Also it took awhile to wrap up the ending. It swirled and swirled for minutes, when a minute would have been enough. In its' favor, the costumes and scenery were fantastic! They both captured a bygone romantic fantasy of the desert and palace life. The acting was good with the fight scenes well choreographed. Andrew Molina was good at adding comic relief, and the ostriches were great. Overall, It was a purely fun movie. I recommend it for a night out when one wants entertainment, without having to think.
