Another hit for Disney

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2010)

Jake Gyllenhaal does an excellent job as the rags to riches hero. He executes a remarkable job of bringing the spirit and the style of the video game to life. The stunts and done well and the acting is commendable. Gemma Arterton also does a good job as the feisty princess. The romance between Gyllenhaal and Arterton is believable and entertaining. The have definite chemistry as they compliment each other well on screen. Ben Kingsley does an admirable job as the treacherous uncle Nazim. He truly makes you want to hate him as every good villain does. Alfred Molina makes a good cameo as a shady but good hearted ostrich racer.
Prince of Persia is a very good movie. It has a very compelling storyline. The story's main theme is the importance of family especially brotherhood. The central focus of the film is the bond between Dustan and his brothers. It showcases their differences but it also demonstrates how in spite of their differences that the bond among brothers is the greatest treasure and the real strength of the kingdom. It also tells how that you don't have to born into a family to become a family. A very important message that is very universal.
The cinematography is very well done. It is one of the best parts of Prince of Persia. The landscape scenes are bold and well shot. They camera really draws you into the land of Persia, you almost feel as though you are right there. The stunts are also well done. As Dustan jumps then flips around you feel as though you are right in the middle of the action.
Prince of Persia will keep the entire family entertained. Everyone from the youngest to the oldest will enjoy this movie. It contains a lot of action as well as a good message embedded within the story. The visuals and stunts will keep you cheering. It's another hit for Disney!
