Prince of Persia: Der Sand der Zeit

I liked the way Gyllenhaal played the role of Dastan. There is a charm to him that renders the movie a pleasure to watch. He's got style. Go for it people. Whatever the critics say it has got magic in it to my want to see it again and be awed. It's a joy to watch Dastan in action. Take it from me .....it couldn't have been better.

I was looking forward to this film because of the hype, and I was afraid to be disappointed. But as the film unfolded, I most definitely enjoyed this adventure from beginning to end.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays the titular Prince of Persia, Dastan, who was an urchin picked by the King from the marketplace to be his third son. He and his brothers get caught in a web of political high jinx that cross their paths with Princess Tamina of Alamut (played by Gemma Arterton), and the fabled powers of the Sands of Time.

This is Jake Gyllenhaal's most accessible film so far, and he goes to town with it. OK, granted he does not look the least bit Persian, or of that particular time period, but somehow his charisma was able to carry us on this fantastic ride. I also enjoyed his interaction with the beautiful Arterton, which sparks with humor and romance. She was my favorite part of "Clash of the Titans (2010)," and same here.

I highly recommend this film for a good old-fashioned, action-adventure film set in ancient times. The parkour sequences are definitely of the highest order and very well-edited and photographed. The sets and visual effects are excellent. Best of all, the story is intelligent and well-constructed. Producer Jerry Bruckheimer has again delivered a very entertaining summer blockbuster. A very well-executed film of its genre. A must watch!

Having never played the game I didn't know much about what the plot was about but the games were big hits and popular enough to make a live action movie so I eventually gave it a watch and was very surprised, The story is very loyal to the games from what I seen in the games, Some nice action scenes and good effects, I didn't like the choice of actors but they did ok, As far as game to movies go it's probably one of the better ones, Even if it won't stand the test of time (No pun intended) I think maybe it could of been better if it wasn't made by Disney as they like to tone films down so much that if you're over the age of 11 it's not as enjoyable, But it could of been much worse so I can't complain too much, A good family film that is easy to watch even if you haven't played any of the games.

I've never played the Prince of Persia games, but this movie wants me to try one of the games. The movie is very good and the visuals are stunning.

Was the movie good? actually yes!! I truly enjoyed this persian wonderful and magical adventure. you will hold your breath while you watch it, you will be thrilled and certainly you will enjoy it. this movie is the good choice to make if you want to entertain your self. Disney people made a beautiful summer movie based on a video game. the direction, graphic, and the acting was good, but the story is not that strong, they could've made it better by adding more deepness to the Characters and the plot, you will enjoy this movie but you will not be touched by it because of it's Shallowness.The Prince Of Persia is an imperfect movie, but an enjoyable one. And you're gonna like it. :D
