Comment:
The film is not the best. It 's very pleasant to watch but does not leave completely satisfied. The atmosphere, places and customs are extremely fascinating. The film, if the plot is based on Prince of Persia ... for other things seems to take inspiration from Assassin's Creed, with its up to the roofs leak and family panoramic scene of the prince at the top of a building which then launches under which so resembles the leap of faith mentioned in the game.
The adoption is also perhaps a little forced and motivated hastily but after all, acceptable. The story then goes on smooth and not very exciting, perhaps, but enjoyable. The whole history of the King killed, that the way to escape, it is well designed. All the bickering between Dastan and Tamina (which initially is described almost as the most beautiful woman in the world ... and then ...) at the end are a bit ridiculous and obvious. The enemies for the most part, are a bit anonymous. Only the great enemy has some significance and a certain thickness (perhaps because it also has an interpreter all respect as Ben Kingsley). The final even if obvious and predictable ... it is well shot and with a very good dose of action and effects that are good for so long to see great things done in the viewer.
appears a little forced and rather ridiculous scene with Dastan that makes surfing on the sand with pieces of marble and then launches into athletic feats ... so ... as if it were nothing.
Well ... a film that is not the best and could be done better ... but in any case unable to maintain enough even if the viewer does not leave much room when it comes out ... but at least it does not cry about the money spent.
Rating: 6.5
Trivia:
- Before Jake Gyllenhaal was chosen, had been made of the names Orlando Bloom and Zac Efron.
- When Robin Jordan Mechner contacted Morningstar to create a movie based on his play, the script riprenderva the adventures of the original game ... but in the end, Disney has decided to focus on the new series of video games.
- In February 2008 the Iranian star Golshifteh Farahani was called to London to audition for the role of Tamina, but was arrested by Israeli authorities at the airport and departed for six months No shot for Truth (Body Of Lies) by Ridley Scott.
