Prince of Persia: Sands of Time

[lplkassm]

First, I have played every single Prince of Persia game made so I pretty much based my judgment of the movie on non other than the video game Sands of Time.

Here is what I have to say:

They did an EXCELLENT job IMO opinion of keeping the movement, fighting, and even the wit of the characters to that of the game. Not only did I actually feel like I was watching a movie, but that I could reply some of the moves back in my head and say, "Yes those were the same moves used in-game."

Here is what I liked about the movie:

? the moves fit the actual game
? both actors for Dastan and Tamina were on target
? the fighting was done well
? the use of the sands was AMAZING (didn't think it would turn out that well)

Here is what I didn't like about the movie:

? a few pointless scenes that made no sense
? the Hassansins didn't really fit for me in the movie
? ending was totally a twist, although it was cool, it got me a little side tracked

Well that's my little spiel about the movie. What are your thoughts?

Please remember to not post major spoilers that would give away too much about the movie. Such as who did this and who does that. Keep it to yourselves

Cheers!

It was a good movie, i'd recommend anyone who hasn't seeing it, and likes those kinds of movies, to see it.

just finished watching it about an hour ago, it was a great popcorn movie, oscar movie no, probably not even the best summer movie out there but a solid action movie , fast paced great visuals and stunts, it felt more like assasins creed movie to me, now there is a movie i'd like to see based off a video game, that and left4dead.

I didn't think it was bad, like most video game movies, but it certainly wasn't as good as other movies. Ending was a bit crazy, the story line just barely resembles that of the Sands of Time, the action had those annoying slow downs/speed ups, and don't even mention the ostrich racing guy, but other than that it was pretty good. What happened was unexpected, but good. A pleasant surprise, instead of completely out of order or exactly as expected. I think they could have done more with the dagger, though. Like when Dastaan (Destaan?) found the nut cracker in place of the dagger, I thought maybe that the first time it was the dagger, but that his uncle took and used it. And they gave the prince a name :O no, it's not that big of a deal. For a videogame movie, it's the best I've ever seen. For a regular movie, it's fine. Worth watching, but I do not think "YOU HAVE TO SEE IT!." But it really made me want to play the games again, despite never playing more than half an hour on the first one and never playing the others.

Oh right, and he did the Assassin's Creed thing in the beginning(synchronize on tower), right before he jumped off that platform with the rope.

Left4dead was a movie in a game so it'd be easy to make it into a movie xD
