Dean (6927 KP) rated Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010) in Movies
Feb 19, 2018
A decent entertaining action film based on the 2nd Prince of Persia video game. Not played the game but it seems the main elements and plot to the game made it into the film alright. This has a good cast, pretty good CGI and produced by Walt Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer! So not too bad, pity didn't get a cinema release. If you liked films along the lines of The Mummy, Scorpion King you will enjoy this.

What to say... Erm... BORING!
I'm glad I didn't go to the cinema to see this. What on Earth were DC thinking?! Cyborg, Flash and Aquaman just seemed to be there as fill ins. There didn't seem to be any story for them. The CGI on Steppenwolf was an abomination, there didn't seem to be any real plot line that was being followed and the ending was rather anticlimactic...

Special effects and awesome CGI. (1 more)
Actors do their best with trite material.
I'm sure teenage boys will love it? Maybe?
Dear lord! The quest makes no sense, there is no surprising twist, it is trite and superficial, disjointed and played like a teenage malcontent's dream. The actors do their best, and I am clearly not the target audience, but I had hoped the visual medium would make the story watchable. Sadly it does not.

What a classic. Rewatched this movie a couple of days ago and I remembered how much I really liked this movie. The team did such a good job with this film and making sure that they made it look very realistic. The CGI in this film is so good. I was impressed with how well this movie holds up 12 years later. RDJ and Jon Favreau did a brilliant job creating this movie and launching such an impressive franchise.

Beautiful mythological tale of perseus saving a princess through battling many a trial.
The effects although great for their time have suffered greatly although the Harryhausen style will always command respect from those in the know.
It's a great fantasy movie where you can forget your issues and bathe in one of the classics that hands down beats the hell out of the CGI heavy remake. One for kids and adults that never really gets old.

Guilty of being a terrible film
Another film to avoid on Netflix. Hoped this would be some sort of creepy film set at a boarding school. Not scary or suspenseful at all. Really feels like a cheap made for TV film. Plot is so simple but the films drags so much it feels twice as long. Hoped for better when I saw Kelly Reilly in the cast. Do not add to your watch list!

Snakes on a Plane - brought to you by Red Bull.
This film would have been nowhere near as enjoyable if it wasn't for Samuel L. Jackson. It's pretty bad, but I still kind of love it. Despite it's very obvious mid 00s crappy CGI, it has a kind of 90s action vibe to it. I also have an undying crush on Julianna Margulies so that also helps.
It's a whole load of faffy nonsense - B-Movie perfection, chefs kiss.

The beast cgi is lacking (1 more)
The whole movie feels hollow
More beast than beauty
After watching jon favreau's fantastic the jungle book I was hyped to see what disney did with their 2nd attempt at a live action remake of their animated library of classics. Unfortunately it's no where near as polished imo. There is some good performances though. Josh gad is hilarious as LeFou and contributes the majority of the comedy. However the lack of emotion in what's supposed to be an emotional romance is lost in this movie. The choice to use a cgi beast baffles me. And there is so many opportunities with a cast as strong as this but unfortunately Bill Condon fails to stir up the romance and emotion that the animation did in 1991. Emma Watson took me off guard me with her singing which was a pleasant surprise. Overall it was fairly entertaining however with the calibre of talent on show i kinda expecred more.

Decent Cgi for the Ghosts (1 more)
Good cast chemistry
Who ya gonna call?
Well this caused a stir among the Fanboys. I really like the original but not so much I don't think anyone should make another Ghostbusters film. Some didn't like the idea of an all female team this time round, who cares? From the director of @Spy (2015) , @The Heat (2013) @Bridesmaids (2011) , along with some cast members from the latter. This had a good comedy team involved. It's not great, the humour is more on the silly and slapstick side, a bit crude at times as well. The Cgi and ghost designs were pretty good, if a little cartoonish. Almost like something out of Scooby-Doo. Something that makes me feel this was aimed a young audience and not really fans of the original. It has some nice cameos but overall it's an average film. Watch and make your own mind up.

Very entertaining family film
Well I have to say I was a bit surprised when I saw Guy Ritchie come up as the director at the start, especially after the King Arthur film. Gladly none of his usual editing techniques are on show here. I can only just remember the cartoon version when I was younger. The humour of the genie voiced by Robin Williams made the film for me.
So a tough act to follow. The film is visually dazzling, in the costumes, sets, CGI and SFX in general. It all looks very realistic. I'm not a big fan of the songs, some are better than others. Overall it's a bit unfair to compare it to the original. It's a fun and light hearted film that goes by at a good pace and doesn't feel like a long film. Naomi Scott does look like a Disney princess. Maybe not as funny as the original but it's still a film all ages should enjoy.
