Not a fan of the game...

Rating: 9/10 (5 June 2010)

...but I really liked this!
Now, let me please state that i am no expert movie critic nor am i familiar with the video game storyline (at all) and i am just stating my opinion. (used the word state two times in a sentence... hideous)
First of all i think Disney made a good job this time. Not perfect, nor near, but still really good. The story was very good, actually. When I saw it was based on a video game I did not know what to expect. I mean, Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer had done a good job in PotC, and it was based on an attraction at an amusement park. But video games have very complex story lines so i kind of expected it to be hard to follow. Not at all, it went fluently and it kept me entertained, yet i understood.
The character were very charismatic and i fell in love with them. With every one of them, I was almost in tears (yeah,...) when Seso gets injured and he had a very small role. Gyllenhaal and Arterton did a really good job, they had a lot of chemistry. You could feel the tension and (dear Disney: dare I say it?) sexual attraction between those two in every scene they had together. Ben Kingsley was also a blast to watch.
One thing I have to praise before going on is the CGI. It was very good and most of the scenes (because it did have a couple of moments where you roll your eyes and go "Really? Please...") were pretty believable. A con, though, is that it was very historically inaccurate (spelled wrong?). Persians were very advanced people, but it was still one of the first civilizations and in this movie they seem super advanced.
A thing I really liked about this movie is that the ending i did NOT expect! The outcome was what I expected it to be, partially, but the way to the end was very fun to watch. Specially because the movie makes you think it is going one way and then... not. Really fun.
The dialogue was so so. Not horrid, but very cheesy in some parts. Though I forgive them for that. The thing i liked though, kill me about this, was the humor. It actually had plenty of comic lines and I loved it had some very mature humor kids wouldn't understand. Nice.
In short, good movie in my opinion but if you really want to know what it is like, you have to go watch it since nobody's opinion is better than your own. I definitely recommend it, and will watch a sequel (if there is one, which i hope). It is active, it was funny, it was fun, it was a treat for the eyes (The CGI, the sets, Jake Gyllenhaal's looks don't hurt either, and Gemma Arterton is terribly beautiful.) 8/10. (Please excuse my horrid spelling and grammar, not a native English speaker.)
