So you liked the Prince of Persia movie? Would someone not familiar with the game enjoy it also? 'Cuz that hot DW action sounds pretty appealing!
I've actually never played the games either - historically I'm terrible at that sort of game. I know one thing about them - they have fantastic looking action scenes (which is what I suck at).
The movie had terrific action - it was like watching live-action Assassin's Creed (which I have played) and just gorgeous and even mostly believable, for someone who was very acrobatic and rather on the lucky side.
I enjoyed the characters, even when they got a little Disneyish, and while there were some obvious "plot twists" they were actually spun well enough that it wasn't as cliche as I thought they'd be, when I thought I had seen them coming a mile away, so that was good.
Unfortunately, I think it would have made a better 1 season TV series than a movie - they tried to cram a lot of story and character development into a short amount of time, and there was so much more that could have been done with it. There is, for instance, a theme on family and trust and a character who deals with losing those things and I would have liked to see more depth to it rather than "Wah, everyone's gone, okay, time to get moving again".
But yeah, it was worth the four bucks I paid for it, and I admit, I'm almost tempted to see it again for the action....
And sorry, SurelyForth distracted me with a story about Ron and I forgot that I had an open reply.... >.>
