Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Reviews

Movie Reviews

• unsatisfying because of the way it gets to the ending

  by James Berardinelli [ReelViews ]

• two hours of raging flames, rattling sabers, racing ostriches, and an ex-Bond girl with a spray-on tan delivering snooty pronouncements about "destiny"

  by Steven Rea [Philadelphia Inquirer ]

• too unimaginative to sweep us away

  by Claudia Puig [USA Today ]

• too cozy and safe to excite the senses

  by Peter Travers [Rolling Stone ]

• the "Prince" spectacle falls short in ways less comic, more pointless and just not very much fun

  by Ted Fry [Seattle Times ]

• silly, derivative, convoluted nonsense

  by Connie Ogle [Miami Herald ]

• Pity the film doesn't know when to end

  by Peter Howell [Toronto Star ]

• perfectly painless mush. The movie is irrepressibly silly

  by Manohla Dargis [NY Times ]

• Like any video game, "Prince of Persia" has its moments. Alas, once it's over, it's also just as forgettable

  by Bill Goodykoontz [Arizona Republic ]

• It's too chatty

  by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel ]

• It's like two hours of July 4th fireworks, only with flying swords and sandstorms, and raging battles and mystical palaces rising out of the desert

  by Betsy Sharkey [LA Times ]

• it's a magic carpet ride

  by Joe Williams [St. Louis Post-Dispatch ]

• goes pretty well

  Review rate : B by Lisa Schwarzbaum [Entertainment Weekly ]

• destined to disappear into the quicksand of time, too innocuous to be hated, too bland to be remembered, just awaiting some bright optimist in a distant future to press the do-over button

  by Rick Groen [Globe and Mail ]

• a forgettable action-adventure tale of destiny, deceit and power

  by Stanley A. Miller II [Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ]

• "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is as barren an adventure flick you'll ever unearth

  by Joe Neumaier [NY Daily News ]

• "Prince of Persia" will inspire filmmakers for years to come. They will watch it and say, "What a mess. I can do better"

  by Colin Covert [Minneapolis Star Tribune ]
