One of my all time favorite movies

Rating: 8/10 (18 June 2017)

Prince of Persia is a really fun action adventure flick. While it isn't entirely void of flaws, a few missteps don't affect the movie much. The 3 core elements of the movie are, action, interaction between the main duo and the story. All 3 are quite good actually. The pace of the movie is about right, it's fast, but it's easy to follow. Yes this is a popcorn flick, but it's totally rewatchable and as just as fun each time.
So, I've been singing praise of the movie, but I might also shed some light on the flaws. First of all there is shaky cam during a number of action sequences, then there are quite a few slow motion shots that were added in post production without acrually using a high framerate camera (12fps stuff that looks bad). There is one bigger plot hole that is really difficult to explain without spoiling (which I would prefer to avoid). And last but not least, an enemy introduced halfway through the film is quite cheesy and cheese continues whenever that enemy is present.
All in all, if you want to watch something really fun (not necessarily very smart), I can't recommend Prince of Persia enough.
