Action, Adventure
4 stars
Fun movie. Jake Gyllenhaal stars as the title character back in ancient Persian times who comes into possession of a magical sword and of course all of humanity sits in the balance. Lots of battles and fights and some cool parkour. Costars include Gemma Arterton as a beautiful princess, Ben Kingsley as his beloved uncle, Alfred Molina as sort of a king of thieves, and Steve Toussaint as Molina’s protector. I love these sorts of films where they recreate ancient stone cities with all the lush detailing and opulent costuming. Clearly, the actors fully enjoyed themselves during the making of this movie. Not exactly Oscar worthy, but a fun adventure film all the same. If you like movies like Lara Croft and the Mummy series, then you may like this film.
