    The Prince of Persia movie is nonsense, why Jake Gylenhall was cast as Prince Of Persia?

    I'm probably going to look like an ass but why not? I never understood the uproar.

    He didn't do as bad as I expected. Although it still wasn't that good.

    The movie was as watchable as the game that came out with it is playable. Nothing to write home about, not offensively bad at all. There is no POP "lore" to speak of or to get into a hissy fit over.

    Well, Pirates of the Caribbean(the first one) was amazing... So that counts, right?

    Jake G was the least of the movie's problems.

    I guess 
     
    I always found POTC random, like random event after random event. But you're right, the first one was at least better than the other two clusterfucks.

    If you count

    saving the Princess, then you and I have very different opinions on what the movie was all about.
     
    As for the movie itself, I thought that the way Jordan went around writing the first draft (which after reading was really great - you can find it online and YES, it's legit. There are too many similarities to the movie from a script written in 2006 for it NOT to be legit.) was great - take the main elements of the game and mix it up a little. 
     
    I mean, let's be honest: When you play a game, you have GAMEPLAY, an element you can't have in a movie, so making it more story-oriented and changing the story completely was for the better in this movie. 
     
    Overall, it was a pretty cool movie, and I'm hoping for a sequel.

     PoP was alright so long as you have someone to make fun of it with when you're watching it. Also, Gemma Arterton was arguably hotter in PoP than in Clash of the Titans, even though her role was exactly the same: talk about Destiny THE ENTIRE TIME while doing that breathy voice of hers. I think Clash of the Titans was the better movie, though.
     

     Entirely glossed over fact: She is a pedophile in this movie.

    Still won't shut the hell up about destiny, but is significantly less creepy about it.
