Just came back from a Prince of Persia screening.
I can't believe it... A good movie based off a video game.
An OK story(though too much exposition i.e. characters constantly having to remind viewers of the situation or what's the task at hand) with some nice twists, a good cast, likeable characters(kudos to Jake Gyllenhall, Genma Atterson and Alfred Molina), good production values and overall fun to watch.
Take note Hollywood, stop hiring second-rate directors and third-rate writers to do video game movies. And get a good studio, at least in Disney we can trust.
It's a shame that will not make Pirates numbers, but that's in part due to the film somewhat poor marketing.
