    • Quotes

      [last lines]

      Tamina: How can I trust the man who breached the walls of my city?

      Prince Dastan: Well, I'm starting to think I'm no longer the same man who breached those walls.

      Tamina: That's a short time for a man to change so much.

      Prince Dastan: Perhaps.

      Tamina: It sounds as if you've discovered something here.

      Prince Dastan: And what might that be?

      Tamina: A new spiritual awareness.

      Prince Dastan: Destiny.

      Tamina: Yes, exactly.

      Prince Dastan: I believe we make our own destiny, Princess.

      Tamina: You have an unfortunate lack of curiosity.

      Prince Dastan: No doubt one of my many flaws.

      Tamina: Please don't mock me, Prince.

      Prince Dastan: Oh, I hardly think we know each other well enough for that, Princess, but I look forward to the day that we do.

    It is refreshing!
    Did you see Iron Man and Robin Hood? Yes? Well, this film is better, simply because the story is original. I know, I know, it is based on the computer game...which I used to play ages ago...but the story portrayed in the script is classic and refreshing at the same time; the performances are natural and the stunt scenes are unbelievable. Now, what did Iron Man 2 miss and this movie excels at? Plot, and a fast action pace without being over caffeinated big bang explosions (ever saw G.I. Joe?)

    Having said that, you must be warned, the dialogues are simple but not stupid and it does contain a fair amount of moral references.

    Sure everyone is crying out loud about the British accents... "ohh but Persians didn't speak English" yeah but this isn't The Passion of The Christ, or Apocalypto and Mel Gibson was nowhere near the production, Jake Gyllenhaal is an American, but the rest of the cast is British, makes sense they should all have a similar accent doesn't it?? So quit yer whining

    Overall a good wholesome fun summer movie. worth repeating!
