Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time

Part 3
the writers really know nothing of Iran!! the time and the place of the story of this movie is funny and don't match to each other.
- Persia was the empire of Iran 7000 years ago before Islam comes to Iran. Nizam (or Nezam) the brother of the king has an Arabic name! people of Iran and the kings only chose Persian names for their children. Nezam is an Arabic name and its impossible for queen of Persia to choose this name for her child while there was forbidden to choose a non-persian name for children. Also arabs were so primary and savage to has impression to the greatest empire and kings of history for choosing an Arabic name! Persia was a modern empire and Arabs were savages.
- As i said in Part 1, Allamute was and still is a city of Iran and why Persian empire marched there?!
- Hashashins were created by Hassan Sabah about at least 2000 years after Persia empire!! Hassan Sabah named Hassan (Arabic name) so he was born at least 600 years after Islam came to Iran and Persia empire was before Islam came to Iran so how Hashashins helped Nizam 2000 years before they were be created?!
Also Allamute was the city of Hashashins and Hassan Sabah and his assassins were living and rule the Allamute in the Allamute castle (Allamute castle remains is still in Allamute, Qazvin, Iran) so who is that queen and why are not Hashashins in Allamute and Allamute castle which was their land and their castle and their refuge?
Hashashins are not in Allamute in this movie. instead of Hashashins and Hassan Sabah, a woman is the queen there and Hashashins are hidden somewhere not in Allamute (their real place) 2000 years before their existence!!

Part 2
Hashashins: they even miss pronounced Hashashins into Hassansins!! I'm not sure if the writers know anything about Iran at all!
Hashish in old Persian means herb and they have called herbal doctors Hashash in old Persian because they were cure using herbal drugs and IN makes it plural. Hashashins used to farm herbal drugs so they were called Hashashins but Hashashin mis translated someone who eats Hashish in English!
Hashashins were a group of people lived in Allamute and they used to assassinate ( assassin derived from Persian Hashashin into English) a particular persons for a reasonable manner.
Hassan Sabah was the leader of Hashashins and only he could give the order for assassination.
Assassins were forbidden to kill citizens or innocent people while they were so scary which all kings of all countries were afraid of them.
and what was the reasons of assassinations?
for example when there was a war, they assassinate the generals and leaders so the war would be ended and no soldier would be killed or cities destroyed. or they assassinated cruel kings which oppress the people.
and what you see in this movie? Hashashin are hired by every man giving them money to kill every person they say!! compare this hassanssins thing to what Hashashins were and what they have done and gave their lives by the orders of only Hassan Sabah for no money...

Part 1
As a fictional story it is a good movie at all.
you may ask why fictional story?!
because it's full of historical mistakes for someone like me who knows history a little bit!!
Persia: Persia is the first and the greatest empire of the human history. they were so ethical and the history has not seen an empire with that much good thoughts and believes. Cyrus the great has made the first human right in history and even the first animal right 7000 years ago! Soldiers of Persia didn't insult people and their gods when they capture a city. Cyrus the great has make Jews free in Egypt. Persia was the canon of science and mankind is owe to Persia for being this much scientific. Kings were kind to people and people loved their kings for being kind. there was forbidden in Persia to have slave 7000 years ago. You can find many things about this amazing empire of you read the real history of Persia.
Allamute: Allamute is in middle of Persia and todays Iran. i wonder why Persian empire has marched to Allamute which is a city of their empire! today you can go from Persian empire city (shiraz) to Allamute in 3 hours by a car!! how the writers didn't know it and made the story like Allamute was a country far away Persia while it was and it still is in middle of Iran!!
Sands: the capital of Persia was Shiraz which you can still see the remains of that empire. Iran has every climate in it! you see only jungle at the north of Iran while there is Loot desert at the east of Iran which it is the hottest place in the world. Shiraz, the capital of the Persia is not in the jungle but it is not desert either! this movie shows Iran fully desert like Saudi Arabia but Shiraz is well known for its gardens and flowers!! i don't know why in holleywood movies they show Iran a desert of sands while most of the cities of Iran are green and beautiful! Arab countries are desert not Iran please don't show Iran an Arab country!

A pretty good adaption of the game

It reminds me of the great game in so many scenes. Fantastic!

فیلمی پر از نامهای اسطورهای ایرانی، داستان ساده ولی بازیهای خوب، به عنوان یک ایرانی فیلم را خیلی دوست دارم

What Draackje wrote +1

Never played the video game, but I enjoyed this film suitably.

It has flaws, though there's enough to like about 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'. I rate Jake Gyllenhaal as an actor, while I don't think he's perfect for this role I did enjoy his performance all in all. The special effects are neat, especially for the dagger. The support cast are satisfactory, Alfred Molina being the standout behind Gyllenhaal.

The premise is a pretty fascinating one, but I don't feel there is enough there for a near 2hr production. It felt, a number of times, that the story was going round in circles and overextending itself in order to fill the run time, there are many times where 'A' runs from 'B', 'B' finds 'A' instantly, 'A' gets away. In many different guises, but it kept happening.

Could've been far greater, but I still come away from viewing this fairly positively.

It has the same vibes as The mummy, Pirates of the Caribbean, or even Indiana Jones: a fun, dumb adventure movie to enjoy for a couple of hours without giving too much thought to the plot itself.
