Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time


A rogue Prince joins forces with a mysterious Princess to save the world from an ancient evil and return a mystical dagger to it's rightful sanctuary.

I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I went in with little or no expectations and it was charming, fun, and very much echoed the world of Pirates of the Caribbean.

This isn't a great movie, but it was entertaining to watch and had a fun imaginative storyline. The plot itself is a tad predictable but still well written. The casting was interesting, Jake Gyllenhaal is fun and does a decent job with the British accent, a through back to Lawrence of Arabia or Spartacus I presume? Alfred Molina is, as always, brilliant and stole every scene that he was in.

Again a fun family film for the summer.

*** See it


Rated PG-13 (for violence)
