Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[innerSpaceman]

I finally saw Prince of Persia ... wasn't very high on my must-see list, obviously.


Not as awful as I was generally led to believe. Yeah, did not deserve to become a franchise or anything, but it was a fine bit of Arabian Adventure. Perfectly serviceable. Jake is appealing, as always. You could do worse for a villain than, um, Ben Kingsley. Alfred Molina got critical praise for his comic-relief performance, well-deserved.

It was by-the-numbers and nothing special, nothing terrible. I find it hard, though, to fault movies that - if they'd only been made in a previous era, would have been fantastic. This is an old-schooler harkening back to the Errol Flynn genre. Sadly not suitable for the 21st century, but a fine mid-20th movie. Tsk, tsk, all that beautiful body building Jake went through for just the one picture. The least I could do was drool.
