Impressed by Dastan's courage as a boy, King Sharaman adopted him into the royal family. Dastan grew up to be a beloved Prince of Persia until his uncle Nizam had other ideas about his place in the royal family. Nazim crafted a ploy to invade a supposed rival territory under the duplicitous accusation that they were selling weapons to Persia's adversaries. Although King Sharaman was against the invasion, the Persians seized the territory, and apprehended Tamina. After a major incident lead to the betrayal of Dastan, he fled Persia with Tamina, and the sacred knife. In the midst of developing a fondness for each other, with much quarrels, Dristan and Tamina became aware that the invasion was not about weapons.
It was exciting watching Dastan jump from roof top to roof top in addition to some of the clever maneuvers he performed while he was fighting. Delivering an adventure that included, awesome chase scenes, and a descent story, Prince of Persia did not disappoint as it lived up to hype. This was a satisfactory film. One element of the story seemed to make a political point. Namely the invasion. It could be argued, the writers were making a point about the invasion of Iraq. Furthermore, there was mention of secret government killings and their relation to taxes, which was presented with levity. Finally, my favorite political point was the ending of the movie itself, which advocated cooperation rather than conquest.
Very entertaining, but not extraordinary or unprecedented, Prince of Persia is worth seeing. According to metacritic the film received mixed or average reviews, and rottentomatoes granted the film 64 fresh tomatoes to 99 rotten ones thus far. A nice action flick, with great production, I'll grade it an 83. Stay tuned movieporium.blogspot.com.
