Prince of Persia movie thread?

Hi.



I'm kind of in the same boat as you Rameses, except I haven't played any of the Prince of Persia games. They look good though, and so does that trailer. Yeah, I wouldn't have picked Mr. Gyllenhaal, or at least he wouldn't have been my first pick anyway. He did really beef up for the role though, so yay? He's trying.

Movies based on games are hardly as ever good as the games themselves, imo. It does looks pretty though, but I don't have really high expectations. It's been ingrained into my head that movies taking thier source material from a video game lead to disapointment (i.e. Mortal Kombat, Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter, Doom, the list goes on...), but I suppose I shouldn't judge something before I watch it. I don't think I'm going to the theatres for this one though. It might be a rental when it comes to DVD.
