why did this movie flop????

I agree. People are so dumbed-down now, they only go for eye candy (CGI, explosions, tits) instead of a movie like POP which balances action with an interesting storyline.
My rating : 7/10

I don't think the movie was that bad, I think they tried to be true for the fans of the game, but it wasn't accepted as it could have, Prince of Persia was always a difficult movie to make especially with live actors, as some of the acrobatics in the game are hard to duplicate if not impossibleSource:Prince of Persia sands of Time Reviewhttp://moviereviews.noskram.com/2011/06/prince-of-persia-sands-of-time -review

A lot of us boycotted it for the fact THERE WERE NO PERSIANS. Another example of Hollywood casting. I still haven't seen the movie...I'll probably watch it soon by pirating it but I sure as hell am not spending a single penny on this movie.

Fact: 31.5% of IMDb users wanted Avatar to win Best Picture.

Just watched this on Encore and it was actually pretty good. I can't understand why it wasn't better received either.



If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all.

I just saw this movie and went in with zero expectations except for: "This is a video game movie. It's probably going to suck."

I was pleasantly surprised and I'd pay to see a sequel in theaters. My only major complaint is that it seemed a little long. My attention started wandering around the 1:15 mark.

If I had to choose between a sequel for Prince of Persia or The Last Airbender, I'd choose Prince of Persia every time.

But that's just how bad The Last Airbender was. Prince of Persia was mediocre at best, boring at worst.

I think Prince of Persia is a good example of a movie that could have been much, much better with better post production:

Editing. Yeah, there were some parts that missed getting cut and should have been, if nothing else to keep the pace going. I think this movie was supposed to be an action adventure, and yet there were so many parts that just went on and on and on and nearly put me to sleep. Maybe the advertising disappointed many people by making them think it's an action movie, but then delivering a drama.

Music and scoring. Did not spice up the action scenes. If anything, just kind of droned the movie down quite a bit like elevator music.

Choreography/fight scenes. Maybe poor choreography or maybe just that parkour is not exciting to me.

Acting/direction. There was some good acting in this movie, but several of the actors either had poor direction or just could not act well during many scenes. Some actors I know are not bad in other movies and others maybe they just can't act.

OK, so more than just post production, but I think they could have made this movie a winner with better editing to get rid of the terrible parts. Or maybe they didn't have enough good parts to do that.
