Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina and Gemma Arterton. Directed by Mike Newell. Rated PG-13 with a running time of 1 hr. and 55 mins. Based on the video game series Prince of Persia.A rogue prince (Gyllenhaal) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (Arterton) and together they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time which is a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
Lets be honest none of us go to movie like Prince of Persia for great acting and a great story. We mainly go for the cool special effects the studios spent their money on. Too bad there wasn't much mind blowing action and for that Prince of Persia came off as boring. The acting is not terrible but i dont think they were given much to do. Gyllenhaal was mostly swinging around from building to building like a monkey which was odd at times. The film makers were trying to incorporate parkour in the movie but it just looks fake. Near the end there was some cool action but not nearly enough to entertain me all the way. Overall this is mediocre video game adaptation disguised as a summer blockbuster. You can defenitely skip Prince of Persia.
