Robust, CGI-heavy sub-Gladiator romantic action comedy
Rocking backwards an forwards like a snake to the charmer's pipe, this film can be funny and fresh - and then sudden torpid and stale. Jake Gyllenhall makes a rather good action hero, with a good British accent giving unanimity to the delivery of the script by a largely British cast. Gemma Arteton gives good feisty and looks quite good too, playing well opposite Gyllenhaal, though he seems more at home in the genre. They rush about bumping into Alfred Molina doing his best Oliver Reed/Alexei Sayle and generally managing some modest screen chemistry. Mike Newell also gets in a stark but nicely dovetailed post-Iraq invasion aside, as the cast argue over absent evidence for the sack of a city. But the film is about a mystical dagger, time travel and the shiftiness of Ben Kingsley. Consequently, despite all the frolicking on the dunes it gets hits quicksand; I found it easier to read the paper during the latter fight sequences and then return to the film when dialogue starts up. I also found it really difficult to reconcile Richard Coyle as the serious brother and heir Tus, given that he was so good in Coupling. Diverting 5/10 . maribeth_baba watch The Country Bears movie

"Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" was a terrible movie -- and I am
usually a fan of Disney movies and was even familiar with the Prince of Persia game franchise. It was clear early on that this movie was just a mindless action flick - and a baaaad one at that! The dialogue consisted of either cheesy one-liners, or detailed but very fast-paced plot points (Why are they attacking that beautiful, peaceful city again?!) - neither ploys generated real interest to viewers. Each scene moved right into a choppy action sequence & clunky aerobic stunts by Gyllenhaal. Jake Gyllenhaal could not hold his own as the lead role in this action movie. Could he be any less Persian-looking? Why the horrible English accent? Why so many cheesy, one-liners? His goofy face just didn't fit a serious action hero role. The fight scenes were so contrived, manipulated, edited & chopped up, that they lost any momentum or power. They also lacked continuity. I gave this movie a shot because I wanted to see what Gyllenhaal could do in this lead action role. I was disappointed and almost embarrassed for him! Certainly that Disney Standard was just not there. The only positives I could find were in the elaborate costumes, city sets & effects -- and even those seemed too contrived in some parts. Ehh. SKIP IT!. |
