So the Prince of Persia film sucks apparently

[esperandote]

To be fair it was a complicated story for the big screen and for those who haven't played the game to understand.

 

[twaddle]

if it is rubbish i will see for myself but it kinda looks like the scorpion king movie right now.

 

[Canid117]

The curse is yet to be broken it looks like. At least we still have the Wow movie.

 

[PhunkyPhazon]

A single review doesn't like it! CLEARLY IT IS A HORRID FILM!

Seriously, people. At least wait for a second opinion, preferably AFTER the theatrical release.

Listen to this man, people. One bad review doesn't mean anything. There's ALWAYS at least one bad review for every movie ever made, regardless of what the majority opinion is.

Well god damn, the gaming community being right about their own favourites adapted to movies are right again.
Surely DOOM should have taught this one by now.

I quite liked DOOM....

But blah,

i'll go if i can find anyone to go with me~

This guy knows what's up. Seriously, one review and it's OH MY GOD THIS FILM IS TERRIBLE I KNEW IT. Guys/girls, maybe you could, I don't know, WATCH it before you pass judgement?

I could not agree with you more.

NO WAY A VIDEO GAME MOVIE THAT SUCKS, SHUT THE FRONT DOOR

 

[Ranorak]

Oh god, if only there was some way we could have known this in advance!

In all fairness, I might go check it out, just to form my own opinion. But I'm holding any hight hopes, or even standards.

Its a video game movie they don't have the best track record, Ill still might see it the only reason i wont is the price where I live a ticket costs like $10 and $8 if i get a bargain time so to get me downtown, wade through the mall, wait in line and shell out a small fortune to see a movie, it better be ground breaking.

"Prince of Persia", and look at the actor. Enough said..

Medians were pale skinned.

Medians of course were the progenitor tribe to most central Asian tribes like the Persians, Huns, and Scythians. Thousands of years of racial mixing with Arabs and Indians has created the modern image of Persians as a basically Arab group but during the Achamenid dynasty (Prince of Persia time period) Jake Gyllenhaal would pass for Persian.

 

[Shock and Awe]

Metacritic says it isn't that bad, and I trust four people more than one.

[Kazedarkwind]

honestly even though it is just one review, i always knew it was gonna be bad, not because its a movie based off game. but because the storyline is PERFECT in the game trilogy. and they messed with perfection to much.

and another thing, why is it so hard for film makers to try something new and keep the prince unnamed like he should of been? seriously its called creativity people, learn it.

But that would require logically thinking, and I'll be damned to do that!

According to the review it's to look at and the acting is good but the story is well shit which is kind of a deal breaker for me personally.

Are we really surprised?

Ill wait for MovieBob to form my own opinion based on someone elses

I liked the DOOM movie too, but the internet says I'm wrong. Whodathunkit?

This shouldn`t suprise us i guess..

it's a mystery!

 

[silentsentinel]

I actually kept a sliver of hope in the back of my heart for this one. I should stop doing that, it just leads to tears.

However, it could just be a bad review...

That sliver has come back. Now I'll just wait for it to be crushed again.

EDIT: Rotten Tomatoes is at 50% at the moment. Maybe it'll become better.
