Prince of Persia



I know many of you know this movie from playing video games. This video game turned movie has a lot of action packed scenes, it also funny and romantic as hollywood would always make it. But I do think life also has its romance and guys will also go out of their ways to get the beautiful ladies.
The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal as Prince Dastan, Gemma Arterton as Princess Tamina and Ben Kinsley as Nizam. It starts of with Dastan as a young boy born in the streets, the king came passing by and he got to see Dastan in action, he was impressed by this and the King adopted him. Not to spoil this for people who haven't watched this below is a preview:



What is up with movies these days being extra long?? well i quite enjoyed this one cause it wasn't too long just the costom one hour something long.... So oh yeah i was saying how the movie went Prince Dastan meets up with Princess Tamina and the action begins, he steals the dagger from one of the fighters. Dastan was accused of killing his father and was now a runner, everyone was looking for him. He runs away with the princess because she was trying to steal the dagger back from him. Later as time goes on Dastan realises the dagger has special powers of turning back the hands of time. How amazing is that? Being able to go back in time and change all the bad that has happened. As they go by they meet with the slaves where they become friends and actually witness ostrich racing which was VERY FUNNY lol, i actually learnt something very interesting here apparently "ostriches have suicidal tendencies".- isn't that so weird??

one of my favourite quotes from the movie. "There must be a reason why you can't take your eyes off me" the princess says to Dastan. I am a romantic at heart...

Anyway i would rate this movie
