    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Tamina: How can I trust the man who breached the walls of my city?

      Prince Dastan: Well, I'm starting to think I'm no longer the same man who breached those walls.

      Tamina: That's a short time for a man to change so much.

      Prince Dastan: Perhaps.

      Tamina: It sounds as if you've discovered something here.

      Prince Dastan: And what might that be?

      Tamina: A new spiritual awareness.

      Prince Dastan: Destiny.

      Tamina: Yes, exactly.

      Prince Dastan: I believe we make our own destiny, Princess.

      Tamina: You have an unfortunate lack of curiosity.

      Prince Dastan: No doubt one of my many flaws.

      Tamina: Please don't mock me, Prince.

      Prince Dastan: Oh, I hardly think we know each other well enough for that, Princess, but I look forward to the day that we do.

    Enough to like

    Never played the video game, but I enjoyed this film suitably.

    It has flaws, though there's enough to like about 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'. I rate Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor, while I don't think he's perfect for this role I did enjoy his performance all in all. The special effects are neat, especially for the dagger. The support cast are satisfactory, Alfred Molina being the standout behind Gyllenhaal.

    The premise is a pretty fascinating one, but I don't feel there is enough there for a near 2hr production. It felt, a number of times, that the story was going round in circles and overextending itself in order to fill the run time, there are many times where 'A' runs from 'B', 'B' finds 'A' instantly, 'A' gets away. In many different guises, but it kept happening.

    Could've been far greater, but I still come away from viewing this fairly positively.
