Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Suman Roberson It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Verity Robins Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

acebreaoeva I've never played the Prince of Persia games, but this movie wants me to try one of the games. The movie is very good and the visuals are stunning.

Filipe Neto This movie seems to be based on a computer game, which I never tried and didn't know until I watched the movie. Past in the late period of the Persian Empire, with absolutely fictional characters, its not a historical film and has no relation with historical truth. It's all an invention, a fantasy. The script is interesting, promising entertainment and fulfilling this promise in a very positive way. Jake Gyllenhaal gives life to the film in the lead role, standing out in well-constructed action scenes. Ben Kingsley is a convincing and well-built villain, though it's a bit obvious he's, or will be, the film's big antagonist. Gemma Arterton was OK in her role, which mixes a bit of "Xena, Warrior Princess" and "lady in distress". The remaining actors are in supporting characters but they do their work well enough. The ending, however, is a bit sudden and unsettled from what was happening as if, in the middle of the movie, the protagonist became Indiana Jones and everything turned into a game of deadly, utterly boring, mazes and traps. Either way, this movie is good enough to entertain the audience, it's fun, it has very good action scenes, good CGI and a regular cinematography.

Davis P This is one movie I'd definitely recommend to families with late elementary/middle school aged kids. It's not overly cheesy or dumbed down in my opinion. The casting is spot on too, Gylanhaal is perfect for the lead role and Kingsley sure is a great villain, very believable and fitting for the character. The dialogue is typical action/fantasy movie type stuff, nothing really surprising or anything that breaks the mold, but I didn't really see that as a bad thing, I received what I was expecting on the writing front and was happy with it. The special effects and visuals were pretty good looking, nothing that'll win many awards, but not fake looking or cheap by any means. The costume design was another thing I liked, Jake Gylanhaal's period piece costume fit his bodily Physique very well, and his body was very in shape for this movie, another reason he was good for the character. Gemma Arterton was good. The acting was overall good, and the entertainment value was definitely there, which is ultimately the sole purpose for this movie existing. This movie and other movies like this exist only for the purpose of being pure popcorn fun, entertaining the audience and giving them a fun ride to enjoy. And Prince of Persia: Sands of Time did that for me. 7/10.

Kirpianuscus it is strange to define it as a bad film. because the effort of actors is almost impressive. but, surely, it is a boring movie. because the spirit of original game, the flavor of Orient, the cinnamon of fairy tale are absent. Ben Kingsley does his the best in a dark role who saves few scenes. but the chemistry of love story is only desire and the young hero is only a nice silhouette. sure, for fans of genre may be a splendid show. but except this target, the adventures of Dastan and Amina remains sketch of a predictable story who has lost the sparkle who gives to it rhythm and seduction. I admit, I am profound subjective. or my expectations are too high. but something significant is missing in this film. and this does it only one of many ordinaries tries to adapt a video game to the screen.
