Strength
It is adventurous action packed movie from the start to end and no where the audience feel boredom. The special effects are awesome , in specific the knife press sequence, preclimax twists. The stunts are fly-fly effect but still it is justified .The chase scenes are well captured . Humour dialogues are laced throughout the movie with the Arabian guy and Cumba character. The sets of Almaati city and the Persian kingdom makes us feel the city.Gorgeous!!!.
Photography is the biggest asset for this action adventure movie and it very well goes with screenplay.Performances are good especially the prince and the princess,baddy Ben kingsley. ostrich race, slave cumba, first attack scenes, Persain secret killermethods, Desert storm, and the interesting twist in the climax, don't miss it!!!!! The background score is another plus which sets the mood for the desert adventure movie. The costumes and the make up also to be applauded.
Weakness
The story is again rehearsed from older movies.The movie has too many characters which some time make us little confused. "The Mummy", "Scorpion king" crosses our mind when you watch the movie. Some graphical scenes are little cheeky.
The video game lover attitude towards the movie may be different but still it is entertaining and action adventurous movie lovers will enjoy this prince.
Verdict: 5/10
Movie canvas punch: Entertainment guaranteed
