Part 3
the writers really know nothing of Iran!! the time and the place of the story of this movie is funny and don't match to each other.
- Persia was the empire of Iran 7000 years ago before Islam comes to Iran. Nizam (or Nezam) the brother of the king has an Arabic name! people of Iran and the kings only chose Persian names for their children. Nezam is an Arabic name and its impossible for queen of Persia to choose this name for her child while there was forbidden to choose a non-persian name for children. Also arabs were so primary and savage to has impression to the greatest empire and kings of history for choosing an Arabic name! Persia was a modern empire and Arabs were savages.
- As i said in Part 1, Allamute was and still is a city of Iran and why Persian empire marched there?!
- Hashashins were created by Hassan Sabah about at least 2000 years after Persia empire!! Hassan Sabah named Hassan (Arabic name) so he was born at least 600 years after Islam came to Iran and Persia empire was before Islam came to Iran so how Hashashins helped Nizam 2000 years before they were be created?!
Also Allamute was the city of Hashashins and Hassan Sabah and his assassins were living and rule the Allamute in the Allamute castle (Allamute castle remains is still in Allamute, Qazvin, Iran) so who is that queen and why are not Hashashins in Allamute and Allamute castle which was their land and their castle and their refuge?
Hashashins are not in Allamute in this movie. instead of Hashashins and Hassan Sabah, a woman is the queen there and Hashashins are hidden somewhere not in Allamute (their real place) 2000 years before their existence!!

Part 2
Hashashins: they even miss pronounced Hashashins into Hassansins!! I'm not sure if the writers know anything about Iran at all!
Hashish in old Persian means herb and they have called herbal doctors Hashash in old Persian because they were cure using herbal drugs and IN makes it plural. Hashashins used to farm herbal drugs so they were called Hashashins but Hashashin mis translated someone who eats Hashish in English!
Hashashins were a group of people lived in Allamute and they used to assassinate ( assassin derived from Persian Hashashin into English) a particular persons for a reasonable manner.
Hassan Sabah was the leader of Hashashins and only he could give the order for assassination.
Assassins were forbidden to kill citizens or innocent people while they were so scary which all kings of all countries were afraid of them.
and what was the reasons of assassinations?
for example when there was a war, they assassinate the generals and leaders so the war would be ended and no soldier would be killed or cities destroyed. or they assassinated cruel kings which oppress the people.
and what you see in this movie? Hashashin are hired by every man giving them money to kill every person they say!! compare this hassanssins thing to what Hashashins were and what they have done and gave their lives by the orders of only Hassan Sabah for no money...

**Prince of Persia has plenty of flaws but ultimately is a great action adventure film full of fun and worth your time.**

Prince of Persia is a great action adventure with elements of Indiana Jones, The Mummy, and Tomb Raider. While it doesn’t rise to the heights of those films, it’s still an entertaining film filled with beautiful set pieces, excellent action, and a unique story. There are a lot of complaints about this film, such as casting choices and mediocre CGI, and while some of that might be valid, if accepted for what it is, Prince of Persia is a ton of fun! While a surprising choice for the role, Gyllenhaal commits to the action and stunts and makes Dastan a likable hero. Ben Kingsley is always excellent in whatever he does, and so is Gemma Arterton. I really do enjoy this movie and would recommend it to anyone who loves a good, fun adventure film.

Never played the video game, but I enjoyed this film suitably.

It has flaws, though there's enough to like about 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'. I rate Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor, while I don't think he's perfect for this role I did enjoy his performance all in all. The special effects are neat, especially for the dagger. The support cast are satisfactory, Alfred Molina being the standout behind Gyllenhaal.

The premise is a pretty fascinating one, but I don't feel there is enough there for a near 2hr production. It felt, a number of times, that the story was going round in circles and overextending itself in order to fill the run time, there are many times where 'A' runs from 'B', 'B' finds 'A' instantly, 'A' gets away. In many different guises, but it kept happening.

Could've been far greater, but I still come away from viewing this fairly positively.

Sands to the future.

I guess ultimately it is what it is, a Disney backed video game adaptation of the blockbuster kind.

In truth it works just fine and dandy as a family fantasy adventure, with swords and sandals - shields and sarongs, all in abundance. There's the mythical and the magical, the swish and the swash, the HD photography a treat for the eyes. The leads are pretty, likable and energetic, and even though it consistently reminds us that it is based on a video game (jumping and rolling, jumping and rolling), the choreography is niftily arranged and there's a lovely old fashioned feel to the story; which works in that wonderful Sinbadish way.

Not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, and if one was so inclined? One could deconstruct the faults of the production with the same clinical impact of that achieved by Ben Kingsley's (Sir) wallet when it hit the floor after this paycheck was deposited. It should be viewed in the spirit of how Alfred Molina plays his character, with tongue in cheek and a complete understanding of how to have a good time with popcorn fluff. Prince of Persia is forgettable come the end credits, but at least it was a fun date. And for that we are truly grateful. 7/10
