Surprisingly good and effective

Rating: 7/10 (13 June 2010)

You know this curse . Games made by movie are bad and movies made by games are also bad . This is something what didn't stop me to go watch this movie . Trailer wasn't something attracting but I heard that it is entertaining . There are lot of prejudices but Prince of Persia(game) was definitely big mania . I knew few guys who were crazy about this game . This is nice beginning for this promising movie . Is it another trash with silly effects ? Definitely not . Far from this . Plot maybe isn't so great but its realization is definitely good . Actually I like movies from Disney . This movie is even better than one of my favorite serial Pirates of Caribbean . Great effects in this movie and really thrilling fight scenes are great . I don't mind what maybe showing of Persia was a bit childish .
Jake Gyllenhal as Dastan was surprisingly good . When you see few his movie you can never expect that he could act this hero . I thought that he will act it only on some character way but he had nice improvisation and he handled himself in every scene . You can see that his image is really good . You can't tell that his acting wasn't convincing . Really entertaining acting which didn't show any suffers . It is also on level of Johnny Depp(Jack Sparrow).There weren't some mistakes and in romantic scenes he was also great and he didn't screw . He acted with heart . He was for this roles and it was on level of this fantasy movies inspired by games . This movies always have to be some kind of fairytale .
Gemma Arterton as princess was also surprisingly good . She is always in roles of some wise princess . You can't even imagine how this acting was convincing . It wasn't like Io in Clash of the Titans when she was like some forced role . I can't understand that she was so good . She was also attractive and she was really like one historical beauty . She really looked like sign of female strength . I think that it was one of her better performances .
Ben Kingsley as Nizam was also great . I expected good performance from him . After also one villain role in Shutter Island I could only expect the best and I got . Again one provocative acting with heart and soul . You can see that he is profiled actor with many different roles . From greatest heroes to most notorious villains . It was really nice to see him in this role . I think he was very inspired .
All in one really entertaining movie . I like this genre of adventure spectacle . If you didn't watch this movie what are you waiting for ?
