Well, I just watched Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and, well, I wrote a review of it, so I'll just copy-pasta it here:

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
Like any sane person, I walked into this movie with incredibly low expectations. I expected a shit-sandwich served on a plate made of Uranium with rabid ferrets as napkins. To my complete and utter surprise, I got an average burger, served on a normal plate, with standard napkins, and even a drink on the side. However, when I took a bite, it was some weird burger that I've never had before, and the drink is like some sort of weird strawberry mango juice. What I'm trying to say that PoP:SoT is an action movie, that is decent but by no means normal.
It's not very well put-together, but this almost helps it as it is completely unpredictable. There were quite a few instances in the movie where I was completely and utterly expecting a stereotypical movie event to happen (like, the main character and the love interest to kiss in a slow and dramatic fashion) and something else entirely happens. The characters are all over the place, some minor characters are very well developed, whilst some main characters are pretty 'meh' due to mediocre acting, though the prince and the princess are very solid characters. Oh yeah, and there's short-term time travel, I don't think I know of a movie that's done that before. Also, you could probably create some sort of drinking game for whenever the Dagger of Time changes hands. Heh, and then there's the ending, I was seriously like :"Did that just happen? Lol, I got trolled hard."
All-in-all, it's a weird one. I want to call it 'good', but I'm not sure. I think I'll just call it a surprisingly fun movie (as in, it doesn't take itself too seriously and that it's full of surprises). In fact, it's so unique and odd that I recommend it. Whether it's 'good' or 'bad' is for you to determine, but I think you'll walk out of that movie thinking 'I've never seen something like that before'.
Score: 6.9/10

So, did anyone else here watch it? What did you guys think of it? IMO it's barely 'good' but it's also the first VG movie I've watched that's not complete and utter crap. Do you think that this is a taste of things to come? (related topic: mass effect movie?)
