Definitely a wild ride of a movie and an excellent start to the summer blockbuster season. Jerry Bruckheimer does it again with an engaging, action packed, roller coaster of a movie. Mr. Bruckheimer, often times gets panned by the critics as his movies generally suffer from a lack of detailed plot... focusing more on action sequences to keep people entertained. The Prince Of Persia does follow this same formula and you pay attention you can instantly tell you are watching a Bruckheimer movie. That being said, I STILL really liked Prince Of Persia. The plot line, although a bit weak, was substantial enough to get the audience from one amazing visual to the next... and it also logically tied everything together. The action sequences were of course amazing... and everything you expect from a summer movie. Casting Jake Gillenhal, on the other hand I am not too sure about. Not that he isn't a good actor... but this is his first foray into the action movie genre..and I had a hard time swallowing it. Gemma Atterton did a MUCH better job though, playing the female lead. If you are looking for a good pop corn movie to start your summer off right... you could do worse than Prince Of Persia. (4.0/6.0)
