Not bad
StrangemannX09 - 11/3/2009, 7:12 AM
Meh. Visually it looks great, nice to see(hear) Gyllynhall lose his American accent, Arterton is hot..but what separates it from any other Mummy type kids adventure movie which gives away every moment of the plot in the trailer? Not much so far..guess we'll see!
Rorschach01 - 11/3/2009, 7:16 AM
Ror@ like the new avatar :P

I said the same in the other article....its over stylized with needless Cgi face shots and the Mummy type bickering between the leads :)
teabag - 11/3/2009, 7:26 AM
Walt Jizzney and Jerry Bruckheimer = POS.
SirPrize - 11/3/2009, 7:47 AM
Like Rorschach mentioned, it looks good but seems to be playing it safe with the formula. I'm not huge fan of Jake Gyllenhaal, I find his face distracting, it's like he's in a constant struggle with gravity to not have the bottom portion of his face drop to the floor (his sister battles with the whole face). I was entertained by him in "Donnie Darko" and "Bubble Boy" but apart from that he has no draw power with me.

I'll probably rent this one.

"DEFY THE FUTURE" Cuba Gooding did :P
teabag - 11/3/2009, 9:48 AM
crap , lol sorry but the guys not even Persian
luffycapri - 11/3/2009, 9:57 AM
I agree it looks like a safe bet kinda film. But then I liked Pirates of the Carribean, as I know many here didn't. I could see them going down a similar route and trying to make a big franchise out of this, but I honestly don't known enough about the original story. Is there enough in it milk it for three or four films?

What am I saying. This is Disney. Of course there is... ;)
samd577 - 11/3/2009, 9:59 AM
looks pretty sweet! Cant wait till it comes out.
SuperKalEl - 11/3/2009, 10:01 AM
haha..why did they not get a persian to play dastan? lol...gemma is fine as a fox but i think this movie is a risk...i dunno why...a gut feeling
Anil Rickly - 11/3/2009, 10:01 AM
not feeling it.
MsKyle08 - 11/3/2009, 10:10 AM
that looked like one of the worst trailers in quite some time. The CGI looked like it was GI Joe douched. I hope it does well but that preview didn't help.
Keven - 11/3/2009, 10:16 AM
Never played the video game, but this looks interesting.

The plot seems like a poor man's Lord of the Rings, but it also has some cool visuals.
slimybug - 11/3/2009, 10:19 AM
Meh, could be good.
YorickBrown355 - 11/3/2009, 10:19 AM
lol

DarthMulder - 11/3/2009, 10:33 AM
Luffy and anil ricky have a point. Why so many caucasians in a fim set in Ancient Iran?

Good old Disney!
DarthMulder - 11/3/2009, 10:36 AM
Agree....new "Pirates" franchise.

Make movie, sell toys, build theme park ride, sell dvd's, etc.
SkunkApe1 - 11/3/2009, 10:41 AM
Looks like crap. especially him being the main character... They should have gotten a no name for the role that could act. This will be a corn ball movie Im sure of it.
WarNoodle - 11/3/2009, 10:53 AM
He still does not look macho.
satanors - 11/3/2009, 11:11 AM
@Skunk the Pirates of the Caribbean ride was built in the 1950's and the movie was based off of the ride.
Rokrad - 11/3/2009, 11:12 AM
It doesnt look too bad, and Jake Gyllenhall looks really good in the role

It has that Pirates of The Caribbean feel to it

But only time will tell if it is good or not
dancingmonkey08 - 11/3/2009, 11:20 AM
@Darth...because Hollywood is lazy. Take for instance Djimon Hounsou...he is the go to African guy. Even though his dialect is so different from the role he is playing. They are just a bunch of lazy, over paid twits! Its the same laziness that is bringing you MIB3 even tho the second one sucked like a pacifier. whats next? a movie adaptation of the smurfs? Fraggle rock? They are lazy and they Suck.
Totally random but what happened to Oded Fehr? I was gonna marry him. :(
MsKyle08 - 11/3/2009, 11:27 AM
I feel ya MsKyle. Well said and all 2 true. Oded Fehr... oh yeah. I have the same hair cut (long and curly) lol

Or what about that dude that plays Sayid on Lost? He's pretty good
DarthMulder - 11/3/2009, 11:43 AM
Naveen Andrews. Thing is there are probably other actors who could have played this role but they just want a big name star to guarantee box office success.
Oded cut his hair.lol...no longer long and curly. He looked like Jesus at one point.
MsKyle08 - 11/3/2009, 11:52 AM
Im a huge fan of the games and although I know the movie will change everything, I still think that it looks pretty excellent going by that trailer!
joshw24 - 11/3/2009, 11:56 AM
A white prince of Persia makes as much sense as a white Jesus

This movie is gonna be a crapulous mass
TNTjesus - 11/3/2009, 11:59 AM
lol..best week ever reviewed the trailer. Hilarious!

MsKyle08 - 11/3/2009, 12:08 PM
that looks pretty dam good the cgi bits even look rather good cant wait for this film

breakUbatman - 11/3/2009, 12:38 PM
@mskyle: they r making a smurf movie lol
joob234 - 11/3/2009, 12:39 PM
lol @ joob. You talking bout avatar?
MsKyle08 - 11/3/2009, 12:43 PM
Well I think it looks similar to the game, & staying wiht the games canon makes perfect sense not to change it to much. I still havent' beat'in the last installment yet.
Spock - 11/3/2009, 12:52 PM
this does look like The Mummy. I think its the color choice. They chose to go w/ golds and mute sandy colors when they probly should've thrown in some royal colors like blue or purple. This looks more like the sequels to Sands of Time than the actual SoT! lol he had all his clothes in that one but now he's missing alot. And correct me if i'm wrong but did i see the "dark" prince? if they are gonna make a trilogy, they are going to run out of material by using it all in this one! lol
ManOfIron - 11/3/2009, 1:01 PM
I think this is going to tank.. Jerry Bruckhemier like all well known producers just keeps looking to top his last movie and I don't think he succeeded.. I think Gylenhall was a bad choice to lead this movie.. I mean what an insult a Jewish dude playin the Prince of Persia?? WTF?? Are they trying to kill us? Stop insulting those people in Iran they have NUKES!! lol..
On a serious note.. I do think they could have found a persian to play this roll it's not like Gylenhall has any real fan base if the script was strong it would stand on it's own.. just another piece of crap I'll catch on Netflix.. at least the babe looks hot.. although not nearly as hot as some Persian women I've met..
ScorpioEagle1 - 11/3/2009, 1:11 PM
Can't wait.
Bandrews1 - 11/3/2009, 1:11 PM
looks good, but not authentic

@ scorpio: I agree. Real Persian chicks are SMOKE'N!!!
jusme6 - 11/3/2009, 1:24 PM
Agreee with Tea and Rorshach. Its formulaic and over-stylized. It'll either be a lot of fun or a snore-session. I'm figuring on the latter. I think they should have taken a gamble, buck the trends and make Dastan a sodomite. A homosexual could be the lead, right??

Jesus could be white and a Persian, before the Arab Muslim hordes came and altered their culture, could have looked Dutch... Why not???
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 1:56 PM
Looks decent, but come on guys, is that not the scene we wanted to see in ghost rider at the end of the trailer?
TheSoulEater - 11/3/2009, 2:00 PM
jeez man you lot will complain about ANY film

oh well i guesse thats ur jobs 2 bitch and moan..hmm the story line looks gd not great but good..the action looks to me very close 2 the game which is good aaaand the comedic chemistry between him and the girl adds well to the mix

and you seriously moaning at 'oh the actor isnt even persion' lool hahaha seriously? shhhhhuuut up! hu gives a frick thats why they call it acting! his face will bring people to the cinema so who gives a crap

im definetly seeing this
TheLivingWeapon - 11/3/2009, 2:06 PM
yeah the inverted comments suck put it back.. I also like reading what others have written before I write my comments.. I typically change my mind by the time I've gotten through them all.. not to mention the pure hilariousness of reading through my enlightened brothers comments before placing my own!
ScorpioEagle1 - 11/3/2009, 2:07 PM
If we want to talk & make it ethnic, they could of used someone of Middle eastern decent or looks.
Spock - 11/3/2009, 2:09 PM
Looks freakin' amazing. I love these kinds of visual spectacle movies.

If PotC is anything to go on, than I have faith that this movie will be nothing short of awesome.
MovieTheaterLad - 11/3/2009, 2:10 PM
Also, to be fair on Jake, he does have Jewish descent from his mother's side.

Soooooooo I say we should let him slide.
MovieTheaterLad - 11/3/2009, 2:18 PM
MTL-

What does his mother's so-called "Jewish" accent have anything to do with price of watermellons in Georgia?
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 2:20 PM
Yeah the exclamation marks suck..put it back
TheLivingWeapon - 11/3/2009, 2:20 PM
it realy doesnt matter where he is from..the character doesnt exactly look full on persian either plus jake looks the part so lets just go see the movie :)
TheLivingWeapon - 11/3/2009, 2:22 PM
Well I don't think Ameircan Jews consider themselves ethnic or anything like.. it just kind of seems bizare with all that's going on between those two factions of Arabs and Jews over the Gaza Strip and Iran's leaders comments about the Holocost that they'd have Gylenhall as the Prince of Persia.. It's like having your enemy coming in your house and going into your refrigerator! lol

In the end it's meaningless.. I don't care if they had Chow Yun Fat as Abraham Lincoln in "North and South" the actors decent doesn't matter all that much to me but I just think they could have found someone more believeable than Jake Gylenhall.. I'm surprised Bruckheimer didn't pitch this to Will "Bankable" Smith.. he could have done it.. The Rock wore a tupey in the Scorpian King.. lol.. Will could have done the same in Prince of Persia..
ScorpioEagle1 - 11/3/2009, 2:25 PM
Persians don't look Persian! They differ from region to region. The norther you go, the lighter complected they get. Some Persians have European traits and complexians. The Middle East is an interesting place. Its where the world's people groups have a tendency to meet naturally. Unlike that of the U.S. or other democratic nations those people groups escape too.
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 2:28 PM
who cares about if he's jewish and the holocoast and all that studd that has nothing to do with the movie?
it's just a movie..calm down and just watch it

TheLivingWeapon - 11/3/2009, 2:30 PM
SE1-
That is some of the lamest reasoning I've ever read. There is a little thing called history that gets in the way of your reasoning madness. Chow Yun Fat as Abraham Lincoln??? Put the crack pipe down and say "no more for me, I'm done".
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 2:31 PM
@Phinehas exactly

TheLivingWeapon - 11/3/2009, 2:32 PM
@TLW

It's ok no ones racist around here I don't think. I was merely pointing out some interesting facts.. I think the movie will be interesting and they'll be plenty of stuff falling and blowing up.. I mean we are talking about Jerry "I never saw an explosion that didn't give me a hard on" Bruckheimer here.. so I expect to be entertained but what I don't expect is much substance or anything original.. Maybe if he had hired Johnny Depp I would say different at least he had the balls to do his own Jack Sparrow not the one they wanted him to portray..

Just an opinion..
ScorpioEagle1 - 11/3/2009, 2:34 PM
Am I the only one who notices that they ripped off Assassin's Creed, at least visually? I mean, the 360 shot of him standing on that wooden spar above the city? That's TOTALLY the game.

And even the way he jumps up and down the sides of buildings looks very Creed.
DannyRand401 - 11/3/2009, 2:41 PM
@ Phineas
WTF does Persian's don't look Persian mean? Obviously anyone can understand when you move away from the warmer areas and change your diet you're goint to look differently from those who are in the southern most parts of the region.. I would think that was obvious.. my comment about Chow Yun Fat was an extreme example as to how if someone was a good actor they are a good actor and I don't really care what they look like.. the point as you've completely missed it my friend was that a Jewish Cat in this movie at this time is a bit ironic if you follow world events.. and I happen to have several Persian friends and they are all differnet complexions.. but the majority of them don't look like Jake Gylenahll I don't care what kind of scruffy beard he grows.. or how big his pass is because his mom's jewish.. that's it.. but I'll give it a look and hope the movies entertaining..
ScorpioEagle1 - 11/3/2009, 2:41 PM
The story of Prince of Persia has already been pre-fabricated. It has depth, because someone had to produce a game that would sell successfully. If it weren't, it wouldn't be movie now. But SE1, you're right about Bruckheimer (and Bay, for that matter), he would sacrifice substance for flash. I resent that! I think a movie can be both thoughtful, as well as visually stunning. I don't like spending $10 to see crap. I earn my money. I don't get it from my parents. So I'll bitch all I want about how bad a movie is, or how it looks.
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 2:45 PM
@Dannyrand- yea it looks similar but i guesse they were two slow 2 make assasins creed into a movie...well apart from that peice of crap mini series they got on youtube..so loosers weepers lool

@SE1 ok but what i was saying is that Jake realy isnt a bad actor and like Phineas said there ain no definite color for a persian so lets just give him a chance and lets judge after we have seen more then 2 minz of trailer (and yea i know they gave away pretty much the whole storyline) lol
TheLivingWeapon - 11/3/2009, 2:48 PM
Wow!!!! a delightful surprise!!! It Looks pretty darn good!!! and here i was waiting for dvd...............
Kes - 11/3/2009, 2:51 PM
Yes, your chow yun fat example was fully understood...as retarded. I got it. Pretending to be someone is more than just demeanor. Part of the sell is appearance. That is why fans spend time casting for their heroes in CBMs.
As far as the "Persian's don't look Persians" comment. That was an allusion to people saying "he doesn't look Persian" comments.
BTW, with your whole moving to warmer areas and changing you diet comment...take a biology class. It doesn't work that way. And don't come back and say I'm over simplifying. That was just stupid. Only recessive and dominant genes contribute to diffences in people's physical traits. I can't get an afro no matter how much I live in the sun and eat chicken and watermellon.
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 2:52 PM
"Phineas said there ain no definite color for a persian so lets just give him a chance"

That isn't to say that you'll find a Persian that looks Irish or sub-saharan African.
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 2:54 PM
@Phineas

Retarded?? lol your whole diatribe is completely retarded and off base. I usually allow idiots to have opinions because it makes things more interesting but in your case I think your idiot pass should be revoked.

when you move away from warmer climates and you change your diet it affects your physical appearance over time. Obviously not in one or two generations but you will evolve to deal with your new physical surroundings.. anyone whose moved beyond 8th grade would know that breeding plays a big roll in a peoples physical representation as well. Therefore your idea of dominant genes and recessive genes has merit but it's not the only factor. I can only assume that since you rushed to talk about black people Afro's, chicken and watermellon that you are a white man who wishes he had an Afro access to a big johnson and some taste..
ScorpioEagle1 - 11/3/2009, 3:06 PM
"I usually allow idiots to have opinions because it makes things more interesting but in your case I think your idiot pass should be revoked."

ALLOW???

"Obviously not in one or two generations"

It doesn't matter how many kids I have, "I" will not change. Plus, the other parent's genes plays a factor in the scenerio you are making up in your child-like imagination, not just "breeding". I guarantee you this. Because people who are of european decent have lived in the southwestern US for centuries (or Southern Africa, or Australia) and don't have decendent generations later that look like Apaches or Navajoes.

Its called adaptation and "natural selection". Not evolution. That is the mythological belief that when simple-celled organisms mysteriously tranform into Blue Whales. You fail! Go back to school you reject!

And since you brought up big johnsons when I didn't, am I to assume you're a peter-puffer???

Loser.
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 3:18 PM

@Phinehas

i know but you get wat i mean
TheLivingWeapon - 11/3/2009, 3:45 PM
Yes, TLW. I just feel that the tard meter is in high gear today. I have to further explain myself to the people that deceptively think of themselves as pseudo-intellectuals, though their mothers wipe their repective chins before they board the short bus.
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 3:51 PM
@Phinehas

loooool
TheLivingWeapon - 11/3/2009, 4:03 PM
looks great just like the game. know if this movie does good i hope they make more games movie like gears of war that movie would be better than a halo movie and gears of war its a better than halo game
flames809 - 11/3/2009, 6:04 PM
It looks cool, I hope we get something good as Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney is making some good not kids movie movies now, I mean of course you could take your son to watch, i guess i am not gonna feel that emberassed when i see the Disney logo on the screen of the theater when i go see a Marvel movie
brazilianbatman - 11/3/2009, 6:15 PM
lol...i dont believe you joob.
MsKyle08 - 11/3/2009, 6:19 PM
MsKyle08-
You can go to IMDb.com and type in the keyword "Smurfs" and supposedly it'll be a new animated feature.
Phinehas - 11/3/2009, 6:46 PM
had my doubts about this one but it actually looks good
ComicFreak11 - 11/3/2009, 11:02 PM
Oh hell yeah!!!!

dragonquest67 - 11/4/2009, 7:45 PM
I'm a big POP fan and I think this looks amazing, there were even subtle little hints about the dark prince from two thrones.

I'm just sad they aren't going to have sand monsters, or at least the trailer didn't show any
