Now i want to see it even more, and as for the "whitewashing" comments i got to say i think they picked the actors quite well, i mean Jake acctually does kinda look like the prince with the long hair and wearing the costume.
Hey, where is your avatar from? I got a childhood flashback when I saw it, but I can't pinpoint why.MaraJade03 said:Yay!!! A good Game Movie, or just an all around good movie that's fun to watch. Can you really ask for much more? Either I'm happy and will be seeing it tonight or tomorrow morning.
Also the whole the "whitewashing" thing, how come the people who complain about it the most (loudest) seem to sound more racist the what their complaining about? I don't mean MovieBob, I mean the European descent guy I have to listen to at work so he can appear open minded or culturally enlighten? Is it me? Am I just not seeing/getting it?
Yep, and I'm not going to go see PoP either, never liked the gamesJulianking93 said:By the way, this is not the first good videogame movie. That goes to Silent Hill.
I look at Prince of Persia as a sort of necessary step into "what sort of games to make film out of". I mean, why would you make a film out of a book when there is so much more room for plot and character development in the novel? At best it can be looked at as a really expensive two-hour commercial for the games.GameGoddess101 said:I wasn't impressed by the concept, only because POP:SOT was already a really cinematic, story and character driven game. Honestly, take out the repetitive battles, exploration, and having to redo particularly difficult rooms, you've already got like, 4 hours worth of game at most, so really it's not asking too much of Hollywood to try and make that leap.
I really am sorry about that. For what it's worth, if you stop the player at about 4:30 you can get basically everything about the movie without having to hear the "Lost" jokesMasterSplinter said:Fuck, this review is about prince of persia, why is lost crammed into it? I have to wait until sunday to watch the final chapters of lost cause of my crappy third world cable channels, and now i can't watch this either. I was waiting the whole morning for this...
If anything you did him a service. I want my 6 years back.MovieBob said:I really am sorry about that.

I dunno, I'd have a hard time picking between this and Doraleous.Grand_Pamplemousse said:Lost was just dragged out too long.
If any one watches British TV we just had an amazing series end, called Ashes to Ashes. The ending wasn't a cop out and it was actually really very good.
Anyway, I am the only one who thinks Movie Bob is the best thing on the escapist?
Probably not the only one but certainly not a high pertentage. My personal favorite is Doraleous & AssociatesGrand_Pamplemousse said:Anyway, I am the only one who thinks Movie Bob is the best thing on the escapist?
Except that the script completely removed all mention of Hell, which is what Doom is really about - unleashing Hell. If they hadn't copped out on that then the movie would have been genuinely true to the game AND would have had much more interesting visuals!esperandote said:Also the Doom movie was a good representation of the game's spirit, just monsters and guns action.
