SYLVIA: Well, I liked it...Prince of Persia was a great action-adventure in the tradition of the Mummy and Pirates of the Caribbean. The effects and action were gasp-worthy, the heroine foxy and the bad guy admirably sane. The script and acting are a bit lacking at times, but the tempo and smoothly unfurled story are sure to keep you interested throughout. In the movie for less than 10 minutes total, Ronald Pickup stole the show. He plays the wise and well-watered King Sharaman. Look out for his performance.
Overall, I rate it a Hot Dog combo, four stars, 1 thumb firmly up. It's sure to make it into my permanent DVD collection. What did you think, Paul?
