  • personally i thought this movie was terrible, it was boring and the story was a pile of crap also dastan had a strange plus really bad British accent and i think that silent hill is a way better movie that used to be a game...

  • I kinda didn't like it wasn't all based on the game itself but the movie was in all great. Also Romance chemistry wtf?

  • they needed to make this movie more beautiful in the game its all palaces and managaries and beauty this movie is a sand pit very ugly stuff should have been all green screened

  • Best game adaption. I am a big fan of SOT Trilogy, and I saw that for once they kept some parts from the first game in the movie unlike other adaptions

  • I love this movie!!!! Even though I am accused of only liking this due to jake in tight clothes.....

  • This prince was a little pussy compared to the one in the games, couldnt fight, couldnt stand up for himself and overall not half the man he was suppose to be.

  • one of the most awesome movies I've ever seen......truly awesome........

  • @vs16694 ...?

  • This movie sucks

  • ANYONE KNOWS THE NAME OF THE SONG IN THE MOVIE ENDING CREDITS

  • @COD5KEVIN26 Check in the movie credits.

  • @MatiZ815 it doesnt show there

  • Comment removed

  • @COD5KEVIN26

    Alanis Morissette - I Remain

    

  • Man I would love it if someone who actually played the games made a review. In my opinion the movie was pretty good but they could have incorporated more of the ORIGINAL storyline in to the movie I think it would sell either way, good enough actors(maybe not Aerton, the pretty face) and nice action. I would love to see a sequel. Empress of time or even better the Dahaka in the future.

  • i rate this movie 5 out of 5

  • @pepy9000 yeah they're just hard arses rating this movie lower than it deserves

  • Well I check the websites and I read that it was a book first, then a game...

  • enough with sands of time, jerry, please make warrior within...

  • Its called Prince of PERSIA but the actors weren't Persian.. They didn't even have Persian accents..

  • I hate that these guys think it was a GOOD idea to make the story plot thin and simple compared to the game. That was a stupid mistake (so was giving it to Disney), and it should have been more in-depth as the game was. I need to see this movie for myself to really understand what it's like. But personally I think these things should be left to the charm of the original videogame, unless the movie adaptation is actually decent.

  • @CommanderZylo Uhmm I just saw this movie for the first time. Yes I'm also late but I thought this was a great film. Was deffinetly something I'd watch again. I've seen a lot of game movies after playing the game itself and I was always being disappointed but this one I can honestly say I loved.

  • what do you mean best game adaptation?! are you insane? they rarely used the freaking dagger? and it wasn't because they weren't impaled by those huge thorns at the bottom of the room... wtf man

  • is it just me or is this kind of the same thing as the scropion king? seriously ancient times brave warrior goes on quest..just happens to kidnap a girl in the moment (happens in both movies) and takes her away into the desert whre the rest of the kingdom is looking for them..i swear to god while watching this movie i couldnt help but think this is soo similar to the scorpion king

  • ROMANTIC CHEMISTRY? BITCH THIS IS A MOVIE NOT PORN:/

  • @TheOmegasi I agree however, this movie is based on the Sands of Time Sega, in the first game The prince and Farah (who in the movie could be Tamena) fall in love, but due to a plot tiwst at the end (won't ruin the game if you haven't palyed it) none of this happens

  • @TheOmegasi You've never watched porn before, have you.

  • i really enjoyed the film never have played the games

  • They renamed Farah, because in the game, she was only young girl, guardian of the dagger, but movie.... Destroy story of the game was crazy, but this was one of best movie, what i know. Funny, short, but for me long, and at the same not boring.

  • This is the best movie adaptation yet. 5/5 forget you haters.

  • Alright so i bought the movie and i don't have time to watch this whole video but can someone tell me if its actually a good movie or not.

  • This is the best movie ever hands down.

  • @EvilDarkJackel I don't know... The plot didn't really resemble the game that much other than the dagger needing to be returned to the hourglass. There isn't really any immediate danger, only "Bad shit will happen.... later" but nothing happens lol. In the game they had to deal with the sand demons who only the princ ecould kill with the dagger (In the SOT). And the action scenes lasted 2 seconds and then the camera changes so it's all 'suggested' but barely ever seen lol.

  • @kingt34

    The obvious plot resemblance is as follows; A king and his son(actually sonS in this case) attack a city, there is a traitor that causes the attack, there is a dagger that can turn back time kept within the city, the prince and his companion are haunted by the traitors henchmen... and that is all I can be bothered with, there is without a doubt more resemblances but... whatever...

  • @DavySigfusson Christ would everyone top being such a dickhead? I didn't like the movie: Get over it. I do film studies and I make films in my spare time so I see what works and what doesn't this didn't work for me: it was ujst generic actions sequences which didn't really have anything new to offer. I didn't really care that the plot didn't follow the game, I cared that the plot just wasn't interesting. Neither were the characters. Now stop having a go at me and enjoy your own films.

  • @kingt34

    I was only commenting on your comment about it not really resemling the game "other than.." part...

    ... I don't really care if you didn't like it, that's your own opinion even if I don't agree with the basis..

  • @DavySigfusson Sorry lol my bad... I can see that you didn't mean any harm and I got worked up over nothing :D

    I just wasn't in a good mood (Ironically: Because of films! Last night I was second in getting a film award in my college haha)

    And yeah I apologise I was in the wrong :) Have a good one!

  • @EvilDarkJackel I really don't think so: The action sequences sucked, the characters were dull and 2D and the plot was shit. Yes, this is all in my opinion, but why did you like it so much?

  • I seriously loved this movie. I thought the performances were great, although I agree that the sexual chemistry between Dastan and Tamina was lacking. Still, the visual effects were great and the performances were great. I give it a 4 out of 5 because it was really well put together, the plot line was simple and the dialogue was really good. Aside from a few aspects that weren't mind blowing, I still LOVE this movie. (:

  • the movie was shit

  • By the way, not original? The glass guy of the left looks like a porn actor.

  • Some people never learn not to mix taste with quality.

  • yes it could of had more romance but this movie was a 5

  • @leelulove24 Movie was okay but im pretty sure the prince of persia has never been a white man

  • I thought the first 1/4 of Prince of Persia was bland. The remaining 3/4 was actually enjoyable to watch, to be honest. It wasn't a great movie, but it was worth watching. 3/5 seems appropriate.

  • The film was horrible. Best video game to movie adaptation? This is fucking terrible!!! The prince isn't funny nor is he completely serious so he's not the character from the game, the story is dull etc. I was expecting alot from the fighting and free running, but the fighting is just generic, predictable and plain boring. The free running: Well, where was it? (*Continued in next comment*)

  • There were a couple of cool jumps and moves, but very scarce throughout the film. In one section, you see a line of obstacles and you are excited to see the prince do some awesome parkour, but then suddenly the camera just decides to jump away from the action to a shot which doesn't develop character, plot or humour. when itt returns to the prince, HE'S ALREADY RUN THE FUCKING THING OFFSCREEN! MOVIE STYLE 0/5, MOVIE ENTERTAINMENT 0/5 STARS. This is just as bad as Clash of the Titans.

  • The game's story would still make a better movie than this garbage. That's the huge problem with video game adaptations. There's a really great movie lying around in the sand here, but they just throw it away and make up stupid irrelevant shit that has nothing to do with anything.

  • I was actually shocked this was actually a good video game to movie adaptation my only complaint was that it at times felt more like Aladdin then Prince of Persia, and I wish he would've worn the outfit from Sands of TIme instead of the one from Warrior Within

    4.5 out of 5 (and that's only because of the parts of the movie that I felt ripped off Aladdin)

  • you guys cant review for shit 

  • wow...!!! never thought that we could watch online movies without waiting every now and then for the movies to load. Movie Watcherus is a great discovery for me!!

  • 5 OUTA 5! lol

  • omg, i dont care if this is a good review or a bad one, I fucking love this video! simply because theirs a method of skipping the advert!!!!!

  • Still waiting for Legend of Zelda the movie

  • @BrandonRamosTV

    Still waiting for a Metroid movie

  • More good games with good stories should be made into movies, like Jak & Daxter or Oddworld.

  • Only The Princess Alone Deserves 10/5 !!

  • I was wondering if I only liked it because I had never played the game, but now that I know people who have actually played the game like it, I like it even more now :D

  • Being a massive fan of the Prince of Persia game series, I had high expectations for this film, and to be totaly honest... It didn't meet the expectations... It fuckin' proceeded far past them. It's a brilliant film that appeals to both the younger audience and the older audience.

    This just goes to show that you don't need blood, guts and sex to make an awesome action film.

    5/5

  • now I demand this should be a Trilogy!

  • i thought it was amazing

    .....

    sequel?

    lol

  • ye 3 out of five like i would listen to 2 fags who probably just came from buttfcking each other and are probably pissed because they probably ran out of condoms and found out they have aids and are now taking their frustration out on one of the actualy good movie that came out 3 out of five my ass well that is just my opinion:P

  • @snipes123456 ...ouch...that was a bit harsh...

  • @snipes123456 Wow seriously? That is beyond harsh....That is just crude and uncalled for, if you don't like the review don't watch it. Also, why is it so bad to be gay hm? Why hate on people just because they don't share your opinion?

  • @snipes123456 The movie was a load of bullshit, good for kids but fucking really bad for anyone older. Anyway from how stupid that paragraph was l'm suggesting your a little kid, that is why your not complaining

  • @snipes123456 and if you arnt, you need to grow the fuck up

  • the movie was pretty good

  • i thought the prince actor played a pretty good part in it. and I should be bias against him as my gf fancies him:( lol

  • Hey I was looking into this game; thinking about buying it. I looked for more information, and I found this website that really taught me some cool stuff. If anyone wants to look into it, check it out at onlinegameland com

  • this movie has really bad casting and a horrible storyline which is as short as a 20 min cartoon the so called princess is so annoying, the "action" scene were stupid and considering the budget the scenes were mediocre so its sad that this was out it had such potential...

  • 3 out of 5??? This is probably the most overrated movie I have ever seen (except avatar of course). This movie SUCKED! I cried when I heard Disney was gonna make a movie of Prince of Persia. They take this hardcore action-parkour-badass-GOD... And turn him into this tree-hugger-P***y. They give him a name for Crist's sake. totally ruins his mysterious character. And then they put in Tamina, just to spice it up with some british accent. Get the F**K out of here you don't know sh*t about the game.

  • @zxFighter u mad?

  • @ExtremeScaping Yes, I am. I like to be happy, but sometimes when people p**s me off, I cant help it getting a little mad.

  • @zxFighter Well the movie was not a direct copy of the game, it was merely based on it, taking content from not only "The Sand of Time" but also from "Warrior Within" and "The Two Thrones".

    I must confess it would have been a bad movie if it was made after the game.

    All in all, I think this was a very good movie, even through I (like you) would rather have seen a movie following the plot of the game.

    ;-)

  • @ExtremeScaping And now, here's the problem. I don't really care if Disney takes some of the Ideas from prince of persia, and make one of their politically correct movies. But when they buy the copyrights, they make sure that nobody can ever make another prince of persia movie.

    I waited years for PoP to be produced as a movie. And now Disney has created a new face for prince of persia, so that every time you try to introduce a new guy to the games he will say: "hey, thats like in the movie!" arg

  • @zxFighter Well I'm satisfied with the outcome of the movie, even through it's sad not to have a "real" movie made exactly after the game.

    But it happens all the time in the movie industry.

    Ever heard of the Inheritance cycle? A book serius about the boy named Eragon, well I liked those books, then 20th century fox had a movie made out of it, which litterally sucked massive cow balls.

    Movies have become money makers instead of the art it used to be (with a few exceptions of course).

  • @ExtremeScaping Hmm... You're right, it could be worse. I too was a fan of Eragon. They fucked that title up pretty bad though. I couldn't agree more with your last statement. Let's just hope they wont screw Assassin's Creed as well

  • Really a 3 this is why I watch the movies before the reviews because reviewers are just bitter jerks that pick at the little details. This movie totally a 6 out of 5!

  • My raiting would be 4/5. The big reason I say that is the opening and Dastan's origin reminded me more of Disney's Aladdin then Prince of Persia in fact I was waiting for the Genie to pop up until the assault on the city. Minor complaint is that he wore the outfits from Warrior Within and Two Thrones but he never wore the blue outfit from Sands of Time. The film in my opinion was loyal to the game in terms of action scenes but the story could've used some work

  • i think the games story was way better

  • lol, sure two men would know about Jake's chemistry.....

  • Okay, here come clearin' up da faks. The movie, in my opinion, was pretty good. So they don't get all the facts straight of the original game....cool story bro, got time to tell it again? Dastan in Persian means "hero". Dastan also references Rostam Dastan and Tamina references Tahmina from Shahnameh, or Book of Kings. The Shahnameh was was what the tales of the Prince of Persia games are based on, along with this film. Also look at the movie as another "retelling" of the story. Now get over it

  • i thinks this movie diserves a 4 out 5 stars! im a really big fan of the games and i love the way they mixed a lot of stuff from every game into this movie but i dont think its perfect!

  • 1:41 voice crack

  • I think the film should be 10 out of 5 stars it's epis. Not 3 out of five.

  • Im sad there was no sand creatures :(

  • just like the game and the game was FUKIN EPIC!!!!

  • love this movie

  • i dont know why people are whining about how the movie is different from the game..i dont care if it was like the game or not,its a movie and it has to be different. i absolutely loved it and i dont care what the name of the characters are in the movie,that is not my concern!!

  • the fuck?...these guys are like "it was great!!...10 year olds will love it". I thought Jake was great as the Prince and the girl that played Tamina was hot but couldn't act for life's shit. Action was amazing and parkour...now that was something!

    Excellent film, fun from start to finish.

  • its a great movie!

  • In 15 years not 7 you retard!

  • Maggets, 3/5. U SUCK. This movie was epic, best movie iv seen in a long time. Its dosent even deserve to go belove 4/5 as for me is 5/5. IGN U SUCK!!!!!!!!!

  • guys, man i played the sands of time twice on xbox and this movies story looks nothing simmaliar. honestly, did forget that theres a game that have made it easier for them to write the story! or did they just say" ok we got sand dagger so now we think of ideas we want that aren't connected to the game at all" DAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • They should of got Jim Caviezel to play as The Prince!

  • @LWebb1000 no gyllenhaal does it perfectly

  • @ihatestartrek92 Haven't seen this yet, but yeah Caviezel looks more like a Prince of Persia.

  • disiny fucked up this filim like they sed 10 year olds will love it.....disiny.....the only decent filim they've made is the pirates of the carabiean

  • niiice movie :D

  • what i like about this movie, they treated it like a movie, it didnt feel like i was watching someone play the video game, like it did with doom, and it wasnt a failed attempt like the resident evil movies, all in all, it was a damned good movie,

  • Shit review, they didn't tell me anything about the movie or enough about the movie, they just spoke out their arses for 3 minutes, fucking great, tossers! -.-

  • This movie fell.....uh....short....

  • That's a shis, that's shude be 5 stars!

  • How the hell did they end up renaming Farah to Tamina? :|

    Every time someone tries to make a movie based on a game they fail... horribly.

  • @R4Zy3L it didnt fail horribly. they dont try to make it "exactly" like the game, they make it so all audiences can enjoy it not just the game fans. but they did a hella better job than hitman, street fighter, mortal kombat, tekken, silent hill, doom, max payne and so on...

    for me i was just expecting a better quality dialogue, and better actions and parkour like in david belle's movies (as he was even the stunt director here)

    but overall its a great movie

  • @R4Zy3L THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @R4Zy3L smh so stupid, its not based on the sands of time game it just takes elements from all the games and put them together, in the games the prince has no name, as a matter of fact every character in the movie has an original name

  • @R4Zy3L Because she's a completely different character?

  • @R4Zy3L They probably wanted to be historically accurate. There weren't any women in India named Farah since the Turkish invasion.

  • ok it was a great film i watched it on

    watch IM last IM movies . coooooom (remo ve IM's)

  • jake did good as the prince

    and i think disney did a good job

    i was surprised when i saw the blood  i didnt expect that from disney

  • i fucking hate disney for what they did! the prince name is a fucking mystery!!!! DASTAN ISNT EVEN A PERSIAN FUCKING NAME DISNEY!!!!!!! WHERES THE BLOOD?! SHIT FUCKING SHIT! I FUCKING KILL DISNEY!!!!!!!

  • @MrPrototypz

    what are you talking about> I'm pretty sure Dastan is a Parsi name. Maybe not common but it is.

  • 3 outa 5! YOUR CRAZY IT WAS A GREAT FILM

  • @MultiDean98 it sucked i don't know what your smoking

  • Ireally liked how they made a completly new store out of the pop series and still made it good and the humor was awsome

    "You know what they say. If you have a big sword you have a tiny." makes a little move with his fingerXD

  • lol

    and the snake rewind willl bb sooo AWSM ...must evryone eatch itt....

  • The persian nobility where decendants from babylonion times who,s lands where ruled by many foriegn powers including, greek macedonions,romans (goth, and gaul mercaneries) russians and bizantines. Many huns had red hair,in afganistan, iran and parts of india there is a large amount of people who have green or blue eyes where do you think they got then from.These lands where a mass of muticulturalism until a few centuries A.D when the arab muslims drove them of.

  • Just hearing Gyllenhaal's horrific fake accent in a preview turned me off of this one. I might go see it when it gets into the $2 theatre. I think he was a poor casting decision. It's extremely important to find somebody that can pull off the accent of the character, or it's not believable that you're really seeing him.

  • @JunmaiShu huh he did the accent good ,right?

  • I wish they would have went with the actual Sands of Time storyline. The Prince doesin't have a name, and he wasin't adopted, WTF?

  • @DantasyFantasy at the end of the game he tells farah to call him Kakolookiyam

  • @depression4ever Yeah but that doesin't mean that its his name.

  • @depression4ever That wasn't his real name. When they're stuck in the tomb it's the word Farah says her mother told her if she was ever alone and scared in the dark to open a secret door. The reason he told her to call him that is so she would give more credence to his story.

  • omg...disney did a good game adaptation :O:O:O:O

  • Nice mis-leading trick retards. Go see the full review? Yeah er, this video is the full review on the link at the end. So gtfo, cause you just want money.

  • This film seriously one of my favourite films so far of this year, its fun, good characters, action was good but there was some problems with the story and character devlopment. I think the story wasn't well built it did have some flaws but still if your a fan you wont complain, and the character development wasn't great but then again most video game film adaptions are not, but it seemed very fun and people will like it if they dont go in depth with the films bugs, they should make a sequel!

  • Comment removed

  • @animejoao I think spike lee made summer of Sam(which was weird and freaky). And the Hughes brothers made from hell. I haven't seen this movie yet but from what I'm hearing it's the best game to movie adaptation to date. (Btw how is it that ppl gripe about jg being dastan and no one says anything about the Moses or Jesus movies played by white guys? Just wondering mate.)

  • it seems like the only argument going around is that the prince is white haha i guess that's good. i was expecting a lot of complaints about the story being different. personally, i give it about a 4. It would get a 5 from me if they had included more powers the dagger has such as the eye of the storm. also, a scene after the credits would have been nice and very easy to put in. they could have put the dahaka coming from the hourglass screaming "natsad!" :) anyone agree? great movie though!

  • @ironwolg yeah, I really wished they would've used the dagger more, even just the recall ability, all the times he really needed it the chick had it, but other then that, I thought it was a pretty good/solid movie

  • alright listen the prince of persia is white/ caucasian, and what is this movie about, the prince of persia, so therefore their casting a white person to play the prince is perfect, spot-on, if anyone disagrees with that then they've obviously never played the game, THE PRINCE IS WHITE so get over yourselves, you're wrong

  • @00half actually the prince in the first and third games looked pretty persian, only the prince in the warrior within and the new one looked white. when i mention the one in the third game, i mean during the cutscenes with the better graphics(can't remember what they're called for some reason)

  • these 2 are big douche bags, i mean a 3 out of 5 that they should have giving it like a 4 or 4.5 out of 5. it was by far the best video game / movie adaptation in a long time

  • STFU u all complaining about persians being white or not. Persians are not pure caucasian, neither black. More like a lil mix between caucasians and egypts colors (a little darker, but not black yet) with skin tone hardened by the environment (sun/desert). Alfred Molina characters got it closer, while Jake was ok and Princess was maybe too taned (but shes hot so no ones give a fuck).

  • get over your self persian people isnt white.. I'm not surprise that a real persian isnt in the movie thats hollwood.

  • alright to al you people saying your persian but aryan, you can be aryan but your still not white, get over it!

    aryan is a stupid thing anyway only blind nazy retard racists believe in that shit.

  • dosnt sound like the story does the games any justice

  • This was a great movie, I had more fun watching this than Iron Man 2. Reminded me of Assassins Creed a bit. Jake Gyllenhall did great. If those who dont know, Persian(Iranians) are from the Aria race which is WHITE...and not only that, there are no persian actors that can play a role like this anyways. These two douche bags gave it 3.5 which is BS. This is probably the best movie so far this year besides Book Of Eli. Good acting, great visual effects and awesome action.

  • a movie of prince of persia without persian guy, its like making a spike lee movie without african american.

  • @animejoao The actors have to look Perisan, not necessarily be persian and since persians aren't very different, Jake Gyllenhaal is half-Jewish and the cast was very likable, it wasn't a problem. Neither persian actors, neither persia accents would have made the movie better, if anything it would have just made the movie worse. It's like watching the English version of Beauty and the Beast with french accents. Who the fuck wants that. It would be annoying as hell.

  • @Serdikhan since when is jewish a race..

  • @AntiGDYB That's my point, it's not. Persians are not a different race. They're just a different nationality. I pity the poor fools who think Persians are Arabs.

  • It's a good movie. Typical summer action packed blockbuster with an appropriate level of humor and romance. It was FUN. Reminded me of the Scorpion King a lot. If I were a critic I'd give it an 8 out of 10. I'm gonna go see it again.

  • better than resident evil?

  • @omgitzruffles yes dude, prince of persia is better

  • @omgitzruffles yes dude, prince of persia is better

  • @omgitzruffles like thats hard to be

  • Watched this movie 2 hours ago, This movie roxx. Good family flick. If you want to watch this movie online in good quality, then go here...

  • I loved the movie.. I just glad it wasn't an epic fail like all the others before....I had a really great time with this movie...I'm hoping to see the sand zombies inthe next one hopefully they won't mess that up. In the games, the prince went from happy hero to brooding hero as the game progressed. It could give the movie more depth.

  • I love this movie. Gonna watch it again. It's a really, really well-done film.

    13,2/10

  • It is Perfect Movie!!!!!

  • You know I admit that it's good at first I thought it would suck but then hey i saw it today I liked it I'm 11 I have the game i finished it it was a good story for a game but this is good for a movie you know (but super mario bros. was horrible) and i do know why the guy hates taxes I give it 5 stars or maybe 4.6 stars

  • "one of the guys said "10 year olds are gona love it" WHAT!!!!! 10 year olds wont even understand why he one of the guys hates taxes aha. FAIL!

    but yeah this movie was dope.

  • @THISISNOTURS do you mean cool or bad?

  • The only trailer I've ever been happy to see on YouTube... Thank you... Dues Ex...

  • Just a quickie note, at 2:39 to 2:42 the guy was supposed ot land on his stomach and bounces off, but he mistimmed it and landed face first, popping his helmet off in the process, but the guys in the big seats thought hey that's better looking then on the stomach, it' in

  • I gave this movie a 10/5.
