COMMUNITY REVIEWS

The Game was Better submitted by DBJC on June 29, 2011, 8:07pm So this movie was based after the video game with the same title. Personally, I enjoyed the game better because it had a better storyline. I didn't think it was all bad but it would've been cooler if they showed off his fighting style a little more. In the game, he does a lot more than swing his swords around. They changed a lot (not as bad as Eragon) but it was okay. If you want this story you can watch this movie. If you want to experience a different story (with few similar qualities) then play the game.

OK submitted by alumeng.ajl on August 1, 2012, 4:57pm This was a good action movie. The ending immensely annoyed me, though.

Prince of Persia submitted by SBNB on July 18, 2015, 9:20pm Overall, this movie is a good diversion. It’s entertaining.

Persian tan submitted by willow on August 28, 2015, 4:56pm Fair skinned British Gemma Arterton plays the Persian princess Tamina, with darker skin.

American actor Jake Gyllenhaal (Swedish/English/Jewish background) plays the title role; while Persians (Iranians) often are and were pale and even blue eyed, the franchise has depicted this characters as fairly swarthy until recently.

The characters speak with English accents, and none of the cast has Iranian or Middle Eastern backgrounds.
