4/5 stars
Even though this is another movie based on a video game and they’re coming out with another video game based on the movie, there’s nothing gamey about this film. Mike Newell (director) successfully creates a context for the character development and plot twists, despite the time travel element.
Jake Gyllenhaal was an interesting choice for the lead, Dastan. He brings just the right amount depth to the character. The major theme in the story is nobility. The king, Sharaman, says that though Dastan had no noble blood, he had a noble spirit. Between Robin Hood (2010) and Prince of Persia (2010), even Avatar (2009), Hollywood seems to be trying to remind us that it’s not about where you were born, but the standards you hold yourself to.
