I am really divided on this one. On the one hand it does look good as an action adventure film.
On the other hand it seems to greatly lack the Arabian fantasy "feel" - some of the sets look good, but the actors don't remotely look like Persians or Arabians, and other sets look very generic - The thing that was great about Pirates of the Caribbean, for instance, was that it was a definate "pirate" film. For Prince of Persia to really work, it needs more Arabian Nights, less generic fantasy.
It seems to create its own story based on the entire Sands of Time trilogy (Sands of Time, Warrior Within and Two Thrones). The beggining did look very SoT, but then you see the Prince in his leather armor that he wore in Warrior Within, and then you see him dodging the dagger tail, which didn't appear until Two Thrones... It seems like they are are taking the charcters (Prince, Farah, the Vizier) from the games and creating their own story... Whether it fits in with the storyline of the games remains to be seen.
I'm just afraid that it will be really condensed and all those cool parts we just saw are practically the whole movie. I have seen this happen to so many movies it really ruins the experience. I want to see character development and lots of story elements along with all the awesome action. I haven't even read the Golden Compass, but I thought that movie was just really bad, and I'm afraid the same thing is gonna happen. Sorry for the rant, but this movie looks awesome.

It was suppose to it's own story away from the games as we all what happens to movies that are based on video games. Crossing my fingers to have this one turn out good.
I cringed throughout the whole trailer, especially at the playful flirting between the Prince and that chick. Dya reckon they might kiss at the end? Gizza break.
they shouldn't try to make a movie off an epic game theres no actor out there that can mimic the prices acrobatic ability look how bad they ruined games with small story and gameplay like mario, tomb raider then they ruined games with good storys like resident evil and final fantasy. they shouldn't have hired the guy behind pirates of the carbine that was just done to try to cash on on the fans but i don't even think i can post my disappointment right
