Doesn't Stay True To The Game...But A Good Film...

Rating: 6/10 (30 May 2010)

I am a huge fan of the games and was disappointed that the film did not stay true to the plot of the Sands Of Time game. There are too many conflicts between the game and film to go into them all. If you've played the game you'll notice them straight away and continuously throughout the movie.
Jake Gyllenhaal's acting is nothing special and all the stunts would have been done by a stunt man so can't say he contributes much to the movie.
Gemma Arterton's acting as the Princess is at times very annoying and irritating but that's probably down to the writers.
There are several cheesy jokes in the movie that we could of done without that at times undermine the credibility of the movie and remind you that Disney had a hand on the cookie jar.
None of the cast have any 'foreign' accents yet this movie is based in Persia!
The action scenes are great and if you don't compare the Film to the Game then it has a good plot.
A good film that is worth seeing but will ultimately let down devotees of the game by not sticking to important details of the storyline.
