Just got back from the theater from seeing the new Disney movie and I present to you the Prince of Persia movie review. The characters seem to be pretty accurate to the game, the action scenes were awesome and the plot was relatively easy to follow, although the ending was okay it just wasn’t exactly what I expected. The casting was done excellently, but I think Disney screwed with the ending a bit much. And there are some spoilers in this review.

The plot like I said is easy to follow. When in the marketplace standing up for friend, is where the prince was found by the king. Right then and there this orphan boy becomes a prince because the king chooses to adopt him. When he is older he is mislead by his brother into offering his father a garment that kills him. Now that he is fugitive since everything thinks he has killed the king, he is desperate to find out why his brother would do this. Can he prove his innocence and figure out was it his brother that framed him?

The cast was very accurate to the video game. The witty exchange between the princess and prince borders flirting. The princess appears to be as stubborn and feisty and the prince appears to be as clumsy and charismatic like they are supposed to. The way they look, nimbleness, and the accent are really well done on this Persian adventure.

The action was one of the best parts of the movie. The scenes that used the dagger and the fight sequences were intriguing as well as entertaining. The action really kept on edge. What was somewhat disappointing was that some of the action scenes looked generated rather than real, but the movie is still worth seeing. The ending however was a little too perfect. Time is reversed so everyone ends up alive and you find out who the true villain is. It is a nice family ending but to see the body count until then it seems to be a giant contrast.

Overall this would be a 4 out of 5. It really is a good movie but because of the ending and the special effects, only the obviously computer generated ones, it would still be four. Boys can get into the movie because of the action and girls can enjoy the love story that is displayed before them, makes it a movie the family can enjoy. Honestly, the whole family can enjoy this. Well that’s all I got for the Prince of Persia movie review.

If you liked Prince of Persia or even Alice in Wonderland try some of these family movies on DVD from Amazon. Also for other tips and reviews check out Totally Random Hobbies’ movie reviews.
