Before this overindulgent mess, Prince of Persia was a pretty average video game with a target audience of 10-year-old boys. Now they’ve made it into a film aimed at teenagers and fantasy loving adults… Already you can see where we might have a problem.You can’t take a story about ancient Persia, modernise it with countless effects and expect us to appreciate it the same way a 10 year old would. The main characters are an unwitting Prince (a long-haired Jake Gyllenhaal) and Princess who must stop a vengeful ruler from unleashing a deadly sandstorm on the earth. As you might guess, a large dose of reality suspension is required, which leads me to this advice: If you’re over the age of 15, avoid at all costs.
Rating: 2 outta 5.
