Prince of Persia

Saw Prince of Persia: Sands of Time today...

It was a nice fairy tale, though I think it would've been better with a more charismatic lead. Jake Gyllenhaal is cute, but definitely not charismatic.

I admit that it was slightly ridiculous in some places - like the ostrich race - but overall it was a good movie with some excellent action.

But! What totally got me was the brothers, the Persian princes. Man, that tickled my kink like crazy, when Garsiv and Tus realized that Dastan wasn't the murderer. And when Tus then saved Dastan's life, first by pushing the button, then when he killed Nizam. And that's the reason why I'll buy it on DVD for sure!

You and I are so alike! The best part of the movie for me was the relationship between the brothers. I loved that! I also agree with you about Jake. He's cute, but not so much for this movie.

Yes! The brothers were amazing! I loved that it wasn't them, that they didn't kill their father. That there actually was no jealousy or hate between them, even though Dastan wasn't their real brother, that they actually didn't care about blood and loved each other like a real family! That was so frickin' awesome! \o/

*grin* But I do enjoy movies that are like that!

What totally got me was the brothers, the Persian princes.

I also loved that they totally accepted Dastan as their brother, nothing was ever mentioned by them that he was adopted.

That was so cool, that they really did think of him as their brother, there was no rivalry - well, at least for the throne and the affection of their father. I loved that. I hate shows/movies where brother goes against brother.

I haven't seen it but I've seen the trailer quite a number of times and for some reasons I kept thinking that the main character was Jared Leto! He made me think of Hephaistion in 'Alexander'.

Hehe, Jared Leto was the best part of Alexander. I keep watching the scenes with Hephaestion and Alexander and skipping everything else.
