Prince of Persia
Just saw Prince of Persia today in the big screen.
I must say, it really surprised me how well done it was.
I can't wait to get it on BluRay, it has superb action and graphics. I'm sure the transfer will be done well with Disney.
I really do not care for Jake Gyllenhall but he really did a great job on this film.
He played the Prince Dastan role spot on and Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina was cast well. She made me wish I was the lead hero, lol.
Start to finish action, great stunts that Jackie Chan would be happy with, great 'parkour' jumping and elusions, etc.
The Dagger is coveted by an evil man played well by Kingsley and treachery abounds in this flick, nobody it seems can be trusted in this sand covered corner of ancient Earth.
The city of Alamut is made superbly and the fight action is pretty good with crazy weapons.
The one 'knock' would be some of the fight scenes were doen way too close up and became a blur but, there are many fight scenes and only a few like that, overall very well done.
I kind of had the feeling during the film of old swashbuckling Hollywood vehicle with an Indiana Jones flavour, all mixed in a Middle Eastern pita bread for a great time.
I can tell just by reading day to day in here alot of members will hate this flick, and thats fine.
I for one am going to add this flick to my library day 1 purchase, and watch it many times.
Bravisimo.
