To be honest, i wasn't a big "Prince of Persia" fan, i haven't played the games, but i probably will now, because the film is great.The movie is shot in great style, well adjusted to it's time and era.And this means costumes, effects, traditions-everything.
I have a friend, who's waiting for this movie for a few years, early 2007 to be exact.We went in, and he was totally blown as well, and said there are more similarities with the game, than he could've imagined.So it's story is actually accurate and believable.
The acting was at a very high level, equal to the scale of the movie itself.I like Jake Gyllenhaal for a long time, since "Donnie Darko" and than he was great in "Brokeback Mountain".But i never could've imagined he'll fit so good in a blockbuster movie like this.Gemma Arterton is also cool, as she is in "Casino Royale" or "Clash of the Titans", where she's actually one of the few things i liked.But here, she has more on-screen time, and she shows her talent more fully and that's a lot for a movie like this-a blockbuster.
Another thing, that's not very common for a cash-making movie is the dialogue.There are some pretty edgy and funny lines one could enjoy, especially in the hands of the leads in the movie.Once again, they did an outstanding job.
I can't wait till the day i'll see sir Ben Kingsley as the good guy in a movie of such scale.I doubt it'll ever happen, but i hope it will.He was better than most of his villains, more convincing than before.I liked him.
There was a little mystery as well.Who is the killer, who's guilty, many people can be responsible for what's happened.I didn't expect such things, and was left surprised by them too.
The lenght of the movie is one of the many good things about it.It was long enough, not too long, but perfect.I was a little bit disappointed of the ending of the movie, i don't like endings like this, but i haven't played the game, so that must be the reason for me to feel like this.Go see for yourself, because i'm sure You won't be disappointed! I went in and i enjoyed it.The best blockbuster/summer movie this season.I'll see it again, very soon, with more of my friends.
My rate: 9/10 Agh, what the heck, sheer 10.I'm a fan now!
