I saw some footage from the film and to be fair it looks like a decent adventure film, although there felt some tiny element lacking. Mind you this was before they added VFX and all that, so the cuts could be very different from the version I'd seen.
I think it'll be a good spring action film. Hope the test audiences were kind to it. #princeofpersia
Hahaha, he thinks women don't watch things just for the attractive men..... "We have a hot chick so guys like it... but why do the women like it? Hmmm."
Really? You would really say that and pretend that Jake Gyllenhaal is just a random dude who isn't attractive and has no way of capturing the lady's eyes? HA.
That's one of the biggest jokes I've ever seen. #princeofpersia
I have to admit the trailer made me believe there was a chance. A test audience may also not fully know the source material so they can enjoy without biase. Case and point I had several friends who loved the Resident Evil films, but had never played the games so they weren't effected by the lack of those elements. This movie though has some hope and promise because it is being produce by a man that demands quality, so heres hoping. #princeofpersia
The Pirates of the Caribbean formula is in effect (or is it affect?) here. Do you all remember how Pirates of the Caribbean did? The concept is similar here. Take a story or a concept (like they did with Pirates) Add a chick magnet/likable guy (like Pirates did with Johnny Depp/Orlando Bloom) Add some love interest (or something) Special effects, big sets, a lot of action. Make the movie crowd pleasing with simple plot and dialogue and baam. I just described to you Pirates of the Caribbean and probably also Prince of Persia. Disney wants to make a franchise just like Pirates all over again. You know they do. lol
@mcderek3000: No Johnny Depp. Ben Kingsley? He was a respectable actor, but uhh.. hmm he's had an interesting career. But yeah, no amount of people like him as much as the Depp people XD #princeofpersia
Jake Gyllenhaal CAN NEVER BE the Prince of Persia. I don't care if the movie is awesome, if the lead is a miscast that just ruins the entire movie. #princeofpersia
@Siye: I'm sorry but he looks fine in the role to me. Compare him to the video game character in Sands of Time.. and uhh.. I still don't know why you'd be complaining he looks a lot like the character XD #princeofpersia
I'm imagining a parent seeing it, enjoying it as a family friendly jaunt, and going out to purchase Price of Persia: Two Thrones for her kid, completely ignoring the ESRB label. She then watches her son rip people in half. #princeofpersia
Are you joking or are you serious? Cause really, Ubisoft is the only company to have properly treated the franchise right within the past couple of decades.
If the game adaption of the movie is handled by Ubisoft Montreal, I'm a happy camper. If it's handled by anyone else, then consider my eyebrow raised.
@OtakuMan24: "The best jokes hit home the hardest". I was making a joke, but knowing the game industry's relation to the movie industry, I wouldn't be surprised if THQ or Activision got the rights to the game adaptation. ¬_¬
Ubisoft would have to be crazy to let the Prince of Persia property slip through their fingers. Not to mention given how much Jordan Mechner has been working with them over the years, I'd hope they've built up enough of a working relationship to keep him from taking PoP elsewhere.
I mean if the Sands of Time Trilogy can hit the soft spot of even Yahtzee Croshaw's ever critical heart, then clearly something there was done right.
Sure the last game was a bit of a bust, but I can sorta understand that if the Sands of Time crew went to Assassin's Creed after the trilogy ended.
So IF they do make a game based off the movie based off the game...
...cue rolling of eyes...
...the best way to ensure success would be to have the original PoP:SoT team working on it.
The reason women flipped is because of how amazing Jake Gyllenhalashambala looks.
I've already gone supergay for him.
I just want to bury my face in his package-I mean, chest.
This has the potential to be the first ever plausible game movie with Jerry Bruckheimer and Mike Newell behind the project. The story of SoT is already epic so let's be hopeful. #princeofpersia
@GCLonginus: This could be the best game film since Silent Hill and Mortal Kombat. I'm not saying those were masterpieces or anything but they were the better game films.
I'm hoping this turns out relatively well. And I'm probably not going to go see it at the 2012 screening. To be honest, that whole Mayan calendar thing kinda freaks me out ... #princeofpersia
@GrimesFace: Don't let it freak you out. They couldn't even prophesy their own demise. The Bible is a better source of prophecy. Heck, Nostradamus even.
"Be honest – how many of you are going to go see the film 2012 just so you can watch the Prince of Persia trailer on the big screen? "
:| I went to see a corny Vietnamese movie with my cousin to see the Avatar trailer... only to notice it was the M. Night Avatar, not the James Cameron Avatar. I mean, I liked the cartoon, but... it's M. Night. I guess I'll peep 2012, or wait for the PoP trailer to leak online. #princeofpersia

Shirtless.
No doi the women loved it.
They sealed the deal for success when they got him to don the PoP costume and run around shirtless for ninety minutes! #princeofpersia
