Prince of Persia movie

jarrhead · #1 11-03-2009, 03:11 PM

So, the game was great, and I was stoked when I saw an ad for the trailer.

But, now I noticed that it's done by Disney,

so I think it will seriously take from the rad-quality of the movie.

Anyways, here;

I dunno, Disney have done some quite good movies.

Ill go watch it

I dunno, they totally ruined Inkheart so bad it pissed me off to no extent.
What a great book, what a bad movie.

But in any case, i'll probably go watch with my dad when it hits the $2 theatre. That's what we did with Eragon.

Man that movie has sooooooo much potential. I hope Disney doesn`t mess it up.

The fact that Disney is helming it doesn't upset me... The fact that Jake Gyllenhaal is in it does...

yes. Disney is starting to realize they cannot sustain themselves on the "pure and wholesome" image they've been trying to maintain and are getting the balls to take some chances...hence movies like the Pirates of the Carribean series...I would not count this one out yet. Between movies like this and their aquisition of the Marvel franchise, maybe they will pick up alot of new audience. IF they screw this and the Marvel franchise up, then I will boycott them within an inch of their lives.

Well, either way, you can't completely follow the storyline on disney. Not possible, or it'd be rated R.

it looks decent?

jarrhead · #9 11-03-2009, 04:53 PM

Of course it looks decent, It's a trailer!

Inkheart looked decent.
Any movie looks decent on the trailer. That's the point of them.

That's my biggest concern with the movie. I saw a movie poster for it the other day, and he actually looked like the Prince from the game, so I'm starting to think he might be able to pull off a decent Prince.

This is what I thought too. Disney makes awesome movies, Pirates (of the Carribean, you dirty bastard) 1 is one of my all time favourites.

When I heard Jake Gyllenhaal is in it,I bursted out a laughter.

Then I saw him as the prince and he looks like the prince and not the first game,he looks like the Warrior Within.The dark atmosphere and amaing musics game.

Then I heard Disney and "maybe" I'll care borrow the dvd from a friend after a few years of its release.

Its difficult to know whether any actor was sufficient since the game was in 2d CGA. If you are takling about the modern versions, they arn't "Prince of Persia", just remakes for kids with ADD.

BTW, the Prince of Persian had light brown / blond hair:

Pffft...kids.

They made four new games in the past few years. look them up

Sands of time
Warrior Within
Two Thrones
"Prince of Persia" - more cartoonish graphics.

Meh, unless you have played the original, you haven't played and don't know, Prince of Persia

jarrhead · #16 11-04-2009, 08:56 AM

I played the original. It's hard.

PoP was one of my fav. games baaaaaack in the day.
I never cared for other PoP games other then Warrior Within.
It has a dark atmosphere (its different in a way the 2 new Batman movies are diff. then the old ones) and the music for the game is composed by Stuart Chatwood,bassist of The Tea Party,best ingame music I ever heard,I still listen to the Warrior Withing OST album from time to time.Check it out if you like action games.

Indeed, this is the only version I know, from around 1990? I did several all-nighters to finally figure out how to beat it, and I am NOT a gamer.

The trailer looks good, but then they always do. Lots of potential, a few A-list actors, I'll wait for the reviews.

Back in the day when you were 5?

haha (it was released in 1989).

I agree it was an excellent game though, almost as fun as Another World and Flashback which were two favourites of mine at the time. I will have to check out the game you have recommended, is it on Xbox or PC only?

Its on Xbox, for sure.

Though, of the modern ones, I actually liked Sands Of Time the best, the turn to dark, grizzled action hero was way clichéd, every action game was doing it about that time, and most still are....

Sands had this cool, dreamish vibe, stood out as being different that most games.
