Protraph Lack of good storyline.

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

sapanvasava I had no idea, when i was going to watch this movie & it turned in an awesome experience. Prince of Persia lovers must watch this Movie.

Davis P This is one movie I'd definitely recommend to families with late elementary/middle school aged kids. It's not overly cheesy or dumbed down in my opinion. The casting is spot on too, Gylanhaal is perfect for the lead role and Kingsley sure is a great villain, very believable and fitting for the character. The dialogue is typical action/fantasy movie type stuff, nothing really surprising or anything that breaks the mold, but I didn't really see that as a bad thing, I received what I was expecting on the writing front and was happy with it. The special effects and visuals were pretty good looking, nothing that'll win many awards, but not fake looking or cheap by any means. The costume design was another thing I liked, Jake Gylanhaal's period piece costume fit his bodily Physique very well, and his body was very in shape for this movie, another reason he was good for the character. Gemma Arterton was good. The acting was overall good, and the entertainment value was definitely there, which is ultimately the sole purpose for this movie existing. This movie and other movies like this exist only for the purpose of being pure popcorn fun, entertaining the audience and giving them a fun ride to enjoy. And Prince of Persia: Sands of Time did that for me. 7/10.

Mislav I expected a little bit more from this movie. It seemed to me that Gemma Arteton and Toby Kebbell just needed to act better than they were.Some parts of movie seemed to be like a video game - at the very beginning of the movie, when Dastan (Jake Gylenhaal) was attempting to open the eastern gates. And after he had met his 'uncle', running away was just a video game.There's many movies that are video games or animated movies. Many of that movies I was watching, they weren't as good as their video game or animated movie. I could expect that video games or animated movie are inspiration of a movie just like Prince of Persia.Just like I said, I expected more.

Wuchak Released in 2010 and directed by Jim Mike Newell, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" stars Jake Gyllenhaal as an adopted son of the king of Persia and Gemma Arterton as a princess of a nearby kingdom. They team-up after the former becomes a fugitive with a magic dagger. Ben Kingsley, Richard Coyle, Toby Kebbell, Alfred Molina and Steve Toussaint have supporting roles.Based on the video game, this was supposed to be the start of a franchise in the mold of the Pirates of the Caribbean flicks, but it was not to be due to disappointing box office results. The first 45-50 minutes are great, reminiscent of the various Sinbad movies but with no-seafaring, way more action and all-around superior production values. It's like the Conan the Barbarian films, but less dour and brooding; sorta akin to "The Mummy" (1999) and "The Mummy Returns" (2001). Like my title blurb says, "Prince of Persia" is spectacular as far as production quality goes, but after the first 50 minutes it goes downhill with a needlessly convoluted plot and one action scene after another. There are a lot of amusing and 'exciting' things going on, but the story fails to hook; everything morphs into a tedious blur. On the positive side, Jake's a heroic protagonist and Gemma is ravishing in an offbeat way, although the filmmakers shoulda taken more advantage of her presence.The film runs 116 minutes and was shot in Morocco.GRADE: C+
