Bad story

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2010)

When I played the game I thought it would be a nice story for a great movie and a new concept but the director screwed up all with a silly and crappy story. The story of sand creation in movie is such a silly idea that I am not able to digest. They should have taken most of the story from the video game itself. The story should have many twists and turns so as to reveal the power of sands of time. I personally think the story should goes like that – The Vizier (from a different kingdom) visits the King Sherman's court and advises him to attack his kingdom (Vizier's kingdom) by narrating him tales of richness and wealth and by offering never seen before diamond, jewelry etc to the King. The King Sherman then orders the attack and with the help of Vizier, he is able to win the Kingdom. The King was killed and the Princess is taken as prisoner. Prince finds the hour glass filled with sand; King Sherman then asks Vizier about the hour glass and why it is kept in secret. The Vizier tells the story that the hour glass contains the magical sand which can grant unimaginable power to the one who opens it but it can only be opened by a dagger hidden in a separate fortress guarded by the elite forces and died King's loyal army. The Prince promises to bring the dagger as the army is tired after long and devastating battle. The King Sherman then asks the Vizier, if the sand is so powerful then why the dead king didn't claim the power for himself and why he kept sand and dagger hidden in such high security. The Vizier tells that the dead king travelled to a forgotten island with a huge army but returned alone with the sand and the dagger. Since then he is afraid of using its power. The dead king gave him some books which he got from the island to decipher it and he got to know about the secret of the sand from those books. King Sherman ordered the Prince to fetch the dagger for him. When he returned the Vizier takes control of the situation and ask prince to hand over the dagger to him in return for the life of his father. The Vizier has grand plans to claim the power of sand and princess for him. The Princess then reveals to prince that the Vizier must not use the dagger. The prince then plunges it into the hour glass. This results in reverting the time to several years to a point when Prince was not born, without affecting the ages of Prince, Vizier and the Princess. King Sherman now young didn't recognize his son and order to arrest him and princess for the crime plotting to kill him. Actually reverting the time results in Vizier inviting the King Sherman to attack the fortress that contains the dagger first as Vizier changed his strategy of attach this time. The Prince and Princess became friend in Jail. The princess tells that they can go to his father fortress and then reveal the plans of evil Vizier and prevent all this from happening. The Prince like the idea and plans to escape. The Prince and Princess escaped from the prison and while escaping the Prince got the opportunity to steal the dagger once again. While stealing the dagger, he is intercepted by his father. While protecting princess and in order to escape the Prince killed his father. The Prince and Princess now head Princess's father's fortress so that they can reveal the plan of Vizier. Killing his father results in Prince dying a slow death and his body turning into sand. The Prince must hurry as he has very limited time left and will convert into a sand wraith soon. Taking advantage of King Sherman's death the Vizier sends his assassins to kill Prince and Princess and took the dead body of King Sherman in front of Princess's fathers to prove his loyalty once again. He tells that he has killed the invading King and now the King must muster his army to displace the invading army. The Princess's father asks Vizier why he grew so old, the Vizier said that he learned about the attack and went to protect the fortress and was able to kill the invading King with the help of dagger and this turns him old but now his son posses the dagger and planning to launch an attack on this fortress, so the King must hurry and send all his army to attack the invading army. Meanwhile the assassins killed the Princess and badly injured the Prince. The prince must now use the dagger to kill the assassins and save his life. He fills the dagger with the sand falling from his body, reverts the time and kills all the assassins. He is not able to bring the Princess alive because the dagger can only revert the time for a limited moment as it contains limited amount of sand. The Prince reached the Princess fathers' fortress and revealed the Vizier's evil plot. But to his surprise it was the Vizier in the King's garments. The Vizier actually killed the king and claimed his Thorn. Taking advantage of shock the Prince is in, the Vizier stab the Prince with his knife and tells him that he killed countless people to claim the sand's power and now he turns the time to favor his destiny and today he finally going to taste the sand's power and no one can stop him now. The prince laughed, he took the sand falling from his body, fills the dagger, reverts the time before he was killed and plunges the dagger in the hour glass resulting in releasing the sand and forwarding the time to a point when Vizier had come to King Sherman's court to invite him.
