Prince of Persia:The Sands of Time

I liked The Mummy. It's alot of fun. If it's on tv I'll watch it. Scared the crap out of me as a little kid though.

I think the first Mummy is great fun as far as adventure films go. I'd put it in the same grouping with the Indy movies and the first POTC. I'd put both the first three Indy's and the first POTC above it, but it definitely deserves to be up there.
 
Agreed. The second though.... How in the hell did they find Imohtep's body under the ground when he was consumed by the underworld?

Yeah....unfortunately the second went downhill pretty fast in compared to the first. When I was a kid I loved it, but I watched it last year and....yeah:dry: I didn't even bother to watch the third.

Still, the first one was great stuff.
 
I probably will never watch the third. If I ever do I will be channel flipping and it appears on tv.

Not to mention the clay looking Scorpian King. Whaaa?

I was watching the second movie 2 days ago when i found this hilarious scene where Fraser´s character stabs the scorpion king, and then Imohtep comes out of nowhere and goes "NOOOOOOOOO!!" :hehe:

the way its shot is so cliche.
 
He has his arms raised too.

"NOOOOOOOOOO!" *bald head*

The only good thing about the sequel was that Weisz got hotter. I mean holy **** she was damn fine. She was hot in the first in a bookish way, but my God...

I heard her suggested as Catwoman a while back, and at first I was a little surprised...but I wouldn't mind seeing her in black leather at all:woot:
 
I definitely think this will be a movie that sets the tone for video game films in the future. The cast is remarkable and since we haven't seen Jake in a role like this before, I really think he waited to choose a special project. I too have high hopes for this one Doctor Jones.

Not necessarily. He's been vying for a superhero action role for a while. He was almost the replacement Spidey, he was the runner-up for Batman, and when recently asked if he's interested in a comic book role, he answered, "I'd never turn that down".

The Prince was his best shot at this position, so he took it.
 
First Showing

Prince of Persia was good, not great, pretty much exactly what I expected. It moved VERY quickly but was still long. Not enough parkour.

I like the plot, but there's so much going on it was confusing at times, felt a little rushed and messy, but wasn't bad. Just good I guess.

Aw, how cute was that little boy in that clip!

Well, I think this role will be a good jumping start for this genre for him. I guess he was eager for such a role, but I am glad he got this one then!
 
Prince of Persia Impressions
IGN sees the final cut. How does the movie stack up?


The action is big. The effects bigger. And the storyline just interesting enough to keep you watching. Gyllenhaal -- probably not anybody's first choice for the Prince of Persia; although, to be fair, he's a hard character to cast -- serves the role just fine. And Arterton has sex appeal to spare. This movie will surely be compared to Pirates of the Caribbean series and it shares much in common. Perhaps the only thing missing is the equivalent of Captain Jack Sparrow -- Johnny Depp's ludicrous, but unforgettable antihero. By comparison, Dastan and Tamina are straighter and side-players like Kingsley and Molina unremarkable. But the movie is well-produced and sparkling with polish from beginning to end, and we doubt any potential shortcomings will stop moviegoers from seeing it and doing their part in adding another notch to Bruckheimer's already-considerable blockbuster belt.

The link above has the complete article, but I didn't want to post it (the article) because of spoilers.
 
^Not bad. Better than I was expecting, actually.
 
this is exactlly what i was expecting.

i have a feeling that with low expectations this could be a fun summer movie and this is the purpose of a movie like POP.
 
Definitely a fun summer flick, which is all I am looking for honestly. There are some new Jake G. videos on the Prince of Persia Facebook page. He is just so dang cute!
