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 was very easy to keep up with. The prince was found by the king in the marketplace when he was standing up for a friend. This courageous act impressed the king and he immediately adopted him making him a prince. He is later, when he is older, deceived by his brother into giving the king a robe that kills him. Now the prince is trying to figure out why his brother would set him up like this, while being a fugitive on the run. Will he be able to prove that his is not guilty and try to find out for sure was it his brother that did this?

The characters were pretty accurate to the game. The prince and the princess’s witty banter and argument continually boarder line flirting. The princess comes off as headstrong and feisty as ever and the prince comes off a clumsy and charming like he is supposed to. The agility, the look, and even the accent are actually well done as they take you on this adventure.

The action in the movie was really nicely done. The fight sequences along with the ones that included the dagger were entertaining as well interesting. Most of the action kept you on the end of your seat. There were a few instances that the special effects looked generated but it didn’t happen so often that it was a turn off, but I was surprised that it happened at all. Also the ending perfectly wrapped up everything in what seems to be a perfect bow. They found who really killed the king, which I won’t give away, and everyone lives because time was reversed. It’s a good family ending but with how cut throat it was becoming it seems to contrast with everyone just living.

I would have to give this move 4 out of 5 stars. It’s still a four for me because of the special effects that were obviously computer generated and the ending, but don’t let that discourage you from seeing it. There is a love story that girls can appreciate and boys will love the adventure and the action, it’s definitely one for the whole family. Truthfully the whole family will like this film. That’s all folks for the Prince of Persia movie review.
