Prince of Persia:The Sands of Time

[Silver Knight]

What are the chances we get a sequel?

 

[lime]

Well Sands of time underpreform in the boxoffice, with only 127 millions proffit, so they are not good.

 

[Silver Knight]

127 mil profit is no flop.

 

[Sam Fisher]

Didn't it cost 150+ to make though?

200.

As for the profit, if movie make even 1 million over it's budget is a good box office. But for a success, the movie must make at least it's budget back and one more. If it's a blockbuster, that it's almost crucial. So the movie had to make at least 400+.

Thats too bad, I haven't since PoP yet but I was hoping for another Pirates-esque movie series.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Eh, it should have been, but the first film was so disapointing.

 

[Alchemyst]

after just recently watching the Tekken film, PoP cant be that bad. Tekken was ok if it were a stand alone action movie, as far as a video game adaptation, whew boy

 

[XxDelta09xX]

I'm trying to decide if I wanna get this or not.t:

 

[Silver Knight]

Care to give me your reasons why?

 

[Original Spawn]

I expected so much more.
The game´s story was supperior to the film´s story.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Care to give me your reasons why?

It just didn't quite deliver in much of the places such a film should. I thought it would be the next Pirates of the Caribbean. The trailers were better than the film. But the execution wasn't there. Alot of the humor didn't work, the action was sloppy at times, some overracting. It could have been so much more.

It's an unfair comparison if you ask me because although both are videogame properties , they are aiming at whole different levels. Tekken is for the crowd who loves fighting movies like TOny Jaa or Jackie Chan movies. Brainless entertaiment.

PoP on the other hand was aiming as a huge audience with it's massive budget and visuals. In that aspect PoP will be the "better' videogame movie because of all the talent that is involved. Yet as a movie itself it just falls flat.
It's no surprise that Bruckheimer and Disney wanted this to be the next POTC movie and therefore i think one should compare PoP to Disney.

Which gives you this :
POTC : Great fight scenes. Charismatic leads and villains as well as awesome vfx.
PoP : Lame fight scenes , bland leads and villains as well as not threatening VFX. At least in POTC you had the skeletons that were fighting the bad guys. Here it's just sand

 

[Poeman]

This movie was LOL bad.

 

[Asteroid-Man]

Tsk, tsk. They should've gone with my adaptation.

I didnt even realize this was a Disney film. I just saw it and it wasnt that bad. For a "videogame movie" it was rather decent. I think a big part of that was their approach with it. It had broad appeal outside of those who were familiar with the games. One thing I didnt like was I found the princess to be incredibly annoying. I think her attitude could have been toned down a bit. I think the movie also could have used a few more memorable moments as it was lacking there. It didnt feel as big and epic as it should have been. I also found the sand time concept a bit confusing and I think that needed more elaboration and should have had a bigger presence. One other thing Id have added was more humor. There were several oppurtunities for some comedic moments and they would have lighten things up a bit. It felt too serious at times but that didnt feel right bc of the actors and characters involved. Overall though it wasnt horrible by any means. Id give it a 7. Not the worst, but defiently not the best. Its watchable

 

[Downhere]

I loved this movie, definitely picking up the Blu-ray next week.

 

[The Executioner]

This movie was alright...just make a better sequel.

has it been greenlit for a sequel?

 

[Downhere]

has it been greenlit for a sequel?

No, and I wouldn't expect one unless the DVD/Blu-ray sales are really good.

 

[Havok83]

No, and I wouldn't expect one unless the DVD/Blu-ray sales are really good.

Too bad bc I think the 2008 Prince would make for a good permise for a film. That would at least be one way to reboot it years down the line if they ever want to revisit the franchise

 

[The Executioner]

Why reboot it? Movie was not bad at all if they do a sequel just make it better.

 

[Mr. Earle]

POP was much better than Pirates 3. I liked it a lot, so i think that they could easily set up a few sequels on it.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

The movie was a huge flop. The fact is the U.S boxoffice is more important because the studios make more money from the domestic front. Persia cost 200mil to make and probably an ungodly amount to market and it only my 90mil stateside. The studios share the money a movie makes with theaters and not just a little bit. The movie has made no profit whatever and probably never will. I thought that it was a cute movie but a sequel has no chance of being made. No chance what-so-ever.

The only Pirates movie I thought was good was the first one. I didnt care for the sequels, so Id agree with what you said
