Not a super terrible video game adaptation

Rating: 5/10 (11 September 2010)

Like watching the video game for the most part and stays somewhat true to the video game, with the prince doing pakour and stuff. But despite that it really isn't a good movie, and I can see how some kids may enjoy this movie though. So yeah for kids it's worth checking out and some adults may somewhat like it as well or at least try to enjoy it. I just thought it was a boring movie, sure the film had a high budget and there are a lot of good special effects and stuff happening constantly but didn't grab my attention or compelling in anyway. Although some kids won't catch on but most adults will know who is trying to back stab who and so on, and just about everything is predictable. There is a lot of action happening in the trailer as well and I even found the trailer to be boring and the movie is even more boring. And if you see the trailer, you basically seen the whole movie. Sure it don't show all the action sequences since it's trailer, but nothing about it sticks with you. The movie is even called "Prince of Persia" and you can't even see a single Persian in this or at least when it comes to the main characters. Jake Gyllenhaal did a pretty good job portraying the prince and his accent in this wasn't so bad. Fans of the video games might like this film, Ben Kingsley plays the bad guy in many movies and he is good as what he does. It isn't a terrible movie, but with the budget I wished it went to making a better movie.
5.8/10
