What red blooded woman could resist a film that has muscled eye candy clad in leather and carrying not one but two swords??

This is not an academy award winning film, if you are wanting something serious, deep and thought provoking you will be disappointed – it's based on a game for goodness sake. So let's forget about “pacing issues” and “plot depth” and enjoy it for what it is – escapism.

Jerry Bruckheimer gives us a hero who is capable of saving the day while delivering some witty oneliners and protecting the maiden – who can save herself and sometimes the hero too. There is plenty of swashbuckling sword fights, really bad baddies, action packed chases and escapes and barely detectable cgi scenery. Perhaps a little more romance next time.

The only truely corny moment is the beginning scene which is so obviously pilfered from Disney's Aladdin. However this just reminds you that the film you are watching doesn't take itself too seriously.

Other reviewers describe this as a fun family film, which I agree with, but note that the M rating does hold water as there are some scenes that even my 9 year old found scary.

I did enjoy this movie and have already watched it twice.

As an avid fan of the game POP – the sands of time is a fantastic leap from the video game to the big screen, the story is well told, the action is amazing and the special effects phenominal. This is one of those movies where you can enjoy a great action adventure and dream of a far away land where Villians are around every corner, Heroes prevail and gorgeous woman await to grant your every desire, Welcome to the Prince Of Persia.

This movie is fun to watch. Jake Gyllenhaal puts his all into the role doing all his own stunts which allow for lots of close ups of the action. The fighting is well choreographed mixed in with plenty of parkour. The landscape and sets blend well and the story moves smoothly. I really liked the soundtrack as well.

Its pure fun in the sand not to be taken seriously.
