Pleasantly surprising but not without faults

Rating: 8/10 (23 May 2010)

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is not the best movie I have seen nor is it the worst.
The acting is good, particularly from Jake Gyllenhaal who I thought would have that stiff acting action movie heroes seem to be played with nowadays. The look of the movie was amazing; the colors and the sets were good. I even enjoyed the CG, mostly because it was well made and I didn't have to sit through scenes thinking "Oh, that's so computer made!" But of course there were some downsides; the script seemed repetitive and dumbed down. Sometimes it also seemed like the editor hadn't been able to decide how to cut or when to cut because it seemed messy to me. Luckily it wasn't like that all the time.
Over all an enjoyable experience and I did not walk out of the cinema disappointed. 8/10 stars.
