Prince Of Persia: The Sands of Time Movie ReviewAs the most high-profile video game movie since 1993's Super Mario Bros., Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time has a lot riding on it. Which for a movie like this, is a little unfair.
See, being a Disney movie, with a big budget, big stars and big names behind the scenes, I think people may go into this hoping that, perhaps, Hollywood would finally make a great movie based on a video game. Something gamers can point to and say, yes, this is what we want when Tinseltown comes knocking.
Prince of Persia is not that movie.
it Doesn't Suck - I'll deal with this in more detail later, but on the whole, this is a solid, if unspectacular adventure movie. It does what it does, and it does it well. Jerry Bruckheimer may look like a fox, but he's canny like one, too: He knows how to craft a piece of entertainment. It may not win any awards, but not every movie has to; some can just be a cheap thrill, a guilty pleasure. This is one of those films.
The Sands Of Morocco - While the film suffers in parts from an overuse of CGI, in others its visuals are breathtaking, the backdrops and environments doing their best to turn a fluffy family adventure movie into something Lawrence of Arabia would be proud of.
