Sinopsis(1)
La historia comienza cuando un rey y su hijo derrotaron al Maharajá, gracias a la traición de su visir. Entre los exóticos tesoros del Maharajá se encuentra un enorme reloj de arena y una daga. Solamente el visir conoce el terrible poder de estos objetos, quien engaña al protagonista para que libere las arenas del tiempo. Este acto convierte en criaturas de arena a casi todos los presentes, incluido el rey, padre del protagonista. Éste debe buscar la manera de deshacer el entuerto. En su aventura, contará con la ayuda de Farah, hija del depuesto Maharajah. (Disney España)

¿Qué chico en los años noventa no jugó al juego Prince of Persia? Aunque si recuerdo bien, la princesa era el objetivo, no el medio. Y la protegían un malvado sultán y un grueso visir. La adaptación cinematográfica es bastante bonita, probablemente hecha en gran medida por computadora, pero es innecesariamente larga, a veces carece de jugo y la trama está un poco enredada y en realidad solo se trata de una daga, lo que podría significar, con perdón de la expresión, que se trata literalmente de mierda. El reparto de actores es decente, Ben Kingsley no decepcionó.

Gyllenhaal y Arterton son dos razones por las que me inclino a una mejor evaluación. En el espectáculo de aventuras, no hay otra pareja tan simpática. La película en sí está impulsada por una escenografía espectacular, buena música y una atmósfera agradablemente exótica, pero se hace daño con el mínimo de ideas originales, descuidando el potencial actoral de los personajes secundarios y también sorprendentemente con lo confuso que son sus escenas de acción. The Mummy (La momia) de Somers y Piratas del Caribe de Verbinski eran simplemente piezas más pulidas.

Surprisingly, it exceeded my (to be honest, very low) expectations. Prince of Persia is a harmless summer blockbuster with a very likeable main couple. The story doesn’t try to be smart (any viewer with at least some experience will guess the ending) and the performances aren’t brilliant, but that would’ve been too much to expect. I had fun, so I’m satisfied. 6/10

Newell is good with actors – the mischievous and sparkly Gyllenhaal / Arterton duet is a pleasure to watch – but Newell is desperate not to do it with epic sauce. Even in Harry Potter, it was noticeable when some of the conversations were the funniest and most impressive things about the film. Prince of Persia is putting on a sterile crown. Futile fancy magic with a "game-like" camera, parkour walled in by the editing, and duels that are wooden and lack anything. Some of the images are unbearably plastic instead of fabulously magical. Nevertheless, I had a very satisfying time with the film. As a fairytale it works (thanks to the actors), only the feeling of plastic harmlessness of the environment limits the fantasy. The Prince of Persia is such a nice Disney figure who doesn't offend. Sometimes he delights, sometimes he jumps around without even plucking out of lethargy. Too bad, the potential was there, and it was considerable. I will miss Jake's veal conception in action fantasy.

Jerry emptied the golden Persian treasury, exchanged it for dollars, and entrusted two hundred million to an English director of conversational films. The trailers warned us, but I really didn't see this fiasco coming. Newell gives you proof that in Pirates of the Caribbean, Verbinski wasn't just a cheap routinist with a bloated wallet after a few minutes, when he shoots all the scenes in detail so that the action is a confused and cluttered show of people jumping all over the castle walls. Then this repeats after twenty minutes without any significant innovation. The film also severely lacks any mystique, so there is no risk of being drawn into the plot (which is more or less non-existent anyway). I was downright ashamed of Jake, but I admired Gemma immensely for two hours. This type of beautiful and beautifully-sarcastic actress has been missing in Hollywood blockbusters for a long time. I’m giving it two stars just for the fact that Clash of the Titans pissed me off a little more than this. I actually left the movie theater for 5 minutes in the second third, thinking I was going to give up...
