As of yesterday, there's the last three rows left for 2d at 9.30pm.

I think I'll be watching it first before Hairy gets back with his review. No high hopes, no low hopes, just gonna come in and watch with an open heart.

Came back from watching Prince of Persia

To say at least - the movie isn't great but it was good enough the entertainment it does provide with some good fair of action, a little humor and plenty of special effects. Although I feel the movie works because seriously it is Disney, there are some moments you might expect too much but came out nothing more than just a movie that targeted at families.

Certain scenes where Prince Dasdan goes through the city reminds me of Assassin's Creed - I mean, even that stance at a tower he jumps down was similar. The hood he hides his face and all... I don't know - maybe I haven't played any updated Prince of Persia but the feel of Creed is there.

For the first time ever - Gemma Arterton can act! Seriously, seeing her in Clash of the Titans was a waste... but in Persia, she looks stunning and she can act! Jake Gyllenhaal on the other hand... sometimes I dunno can he be an action star or not but he somehow can pull it off... somehow.

The movie isn't great so best not have high expectations. It's a good watch - feels like a popcorn movie.

No lah. I went around with my frens to Kampung Dato' harun and had nasik lemak. haha. so after that then I crashed and burned. haha.

Anyways, for me, it was a good popcorn movie. Just nice. Didn't felt like my money was wasted(yes, better than Iron Man 2). And from start to finish though i know how it would happen, its the narration that made me think otherwise of things.

Cheezy dialogues, but thats what movies are. pacing is nice, parkour sadly Jake can't perform all (especially during the wall run, its obvious someone else did that), jordan seems to love to use Assassins Creed Eagle Eye and execution move, so yeah I had a good time of fun. Wishing more of the parkour (even if its in CGI, i don't mind) to happen.

So, i'd say I can't wait for 2013. A gud 7.5/10, and the best game to movie adaptation so far yet. biggrin.gif

Do you feel the ending was too convenient? Not to mention, cheezy also? hmm.gif

I sure did. It looked like it was about to follow the ending of the game, which is often cited as one of the best game endings of all time. The movie's ending was cheap.  mad.gif

Chuckle... Disney mah... laugh.gif

Not faulting Jordan's decision, but based on ending, I can't see how a sequel could come. That is, if they want to bring in the sand monsters. But yeah, it was convenient and just cheap. I already expected it when they continue the journey.

But i'm ok. Just wishing for clearer action scenes next time. hehe.

Lately, lots of movies with action scenes always do not seem to be clear... and it's getting annoying...
