Prince of Persia is lacking.

Rating: 4/10 (9 July 2011)

Yet another movie based off a video game and yet another failure to bring gaming to the big screen. The action scenes are weak, full of B-meter special effects and stunts that are preposterous enough to make you cry. The sets pay homage to Pirates of the Caribbean, which I find annoying. Under the direction of adequate director Mike Newell and with a cast that includes Jake Gyllenhall, Ben Kingsley, and Alfred Molina, it cannot be easily dismissed. However like most of Jerry Bruckheimer's productions, it is made like an MTV made for television movie. Not worth the effort not even for teens. Adults will probably fall asleep, even video game fans.
