Persia's Prince Fit to be King

Rating: 7/10 (6 May 2015)

Why spectacles like this fail at the box office and with critics, I do not know. My tastes do not fall in line with the general crowd (a self-confessed Shyamalan devotee here), which is probably why I left this movie wanting to see more of the Prince and his acrobatics.
There's nothing about this film I didn't like. The score was solid and fitting for a sword and sandal epic; the scenery was beautiful; the cast all meshed in well; the fantasy elements were impressive; and there were character's that I'd happily follow into a sequel.
Alas, the majority and the money machine win again.
In saying that, I'm not upset it's a one-time event. So sit back, enjoy, and travel to an imaginary land you'll only get to see once, because no sands of time will ever take us back to help generate buzz for a sequel.
