    entairtaining and enjoyable.

    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

    It was entertaining and fun

    First of all when I read some of the reviews about this movie all my excitement was drained but I went to see it anyway. What do you now, the movie was great. It was fun, had a lot of action in it, the CGI was nice (excecpt few scenes in the beginning). I thought acting was nice Gyllenhaal (prince) and Arterton (Princess) did a good job in my opinion. As a fun of the game; the script wasn't entirely accurate just like most of the movies based on games but it didn't stray too far either. OK it was not the perfect movie but it was something that I would go and watch its sequel.

    Overall I enjoyed myself and I believe if you go open minded you will enjoy yourself too.

    Surprisingly Good

    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.

    Enough to like

    Never played the video game, but I enjoyed this film suitably.

    It has flaws, though there's enough to like about 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'. I rate Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor, while I don't think he's perfect for this role I did enjoy his performance all in all. The special effects are neat, especially for the dagger. The support cast are satisfactory, Alfred Molina being the standout behind Gyllenhaal.

    The premise is a pretty fascinating one, but I don't feel there is enough there for a near 2hr production. It felt, a number of times, that the story was going round in circles and overextending itself in order to fill the run time, there are many times where 'A' runs from 'B', 'B' finds 'A' instantly, 'A' gets away. In many different guises, but it kept happening.

    Could've been far greater, but I still come away from viewing this fairly positively.

    Very Entertaining Summer Blockbuster Film!

    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!

      [last lines]

      Tamina: How can I trust the man who breached the walls of my city?

      Prince Dastan: Well, I'm starting to think I'm no longer the same man who breached those walls.

      Tamina: That's a short time for a man to change so much.

      Prince Dastan: Perhaps.

      Tamina: It sounds as if you've discovered something here.

      Prince Dastan: And what might that be?

      Tamina: A new spiritual awareness.

      Prince Dastan: Destiny.

      Tamina: Yes, exactly.

      Prince Dastan: I believe we make our own destiny, Princess.

      Tamina: You have an unfortunate lack of curiosity.

      Prince Dastan: No doubt one of my many flaws.

      Tamina: Please don't mock me, Prince.

      Prince Dastan: Oh, I hardly think we know each other well enough for that, Princess, but I look forward to the day that we do.
