The Prince Of Persia Trailer Totally Makes Plenty Of Sense
Totally. Got it. So, see, he's got this dagger that is a treasure who knows where he found it (or perhaps IT found HIM?) but the Gods have a plan for him and he has felt its power, it unlocks the Sands of Time and it...OK, this is where it's a little confusing but it mostly makes sense...see the Sands of Time turns you into a Sand Creature, like the bad guy in Spiderman-3. Remember Spider-Man 3? That was not a very good movie! The whole Bad Tobey Maguire thing where he's got bangs and he dances down the street? Come on. Sorry, OK, so, now you are a magical time traveling sand person, and what we have to do is go to the Mines of Moria and bury the dagger in, like, a garden or something? Because Ben Kingsley (winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1982 for his role in Ghandi) wants to use the dagger to become a sand person to make a dust storm go into the village. But will they be able to get the dagger to Persian Mount Doom in Persian Mordor in time, or will it be too late because they're too busy FUCKING?
Seriously, I think I've got it. I just hope that they show the trailer at the beginning of the movie, and then every 20 minutes or so during the movie, to help remind me what the hell is going on.

What's with all these trailers lately, talkin down to us and delivering exposition.... Like we can't understand convoluted plot twists, made up universes and crazy story lines easily? Avatar, I'm lookin at you
Score = 2
That's got to be the only magical item I've seen in a movie that's activated by a fucking BIG RED BUTTON. Lots of Love.
Also, we don't say it "thurrow". It's thorough. Both Americans and Brits say it the same..

Jake Gyllenhaal was not the proper actor for this film...is uh...what he wasn't.
This movie looks terrible is how it looks.
Score = 7
Yeah, he is so NOT persian. And that wig is the worst
Score = 4
He's not even a prince!
Score = 18
What are you talking about? Gyllenhaal, a totally classic Persian name.
Score = 7
I think Matthew McConaughey and Jake had a AB-off to see who would be the prince, but then Matthew remembered it wasn't a romantic comedy and thus we got Prince Jake.
Score = 4
Every second Disney pours into making films out of Gamecube games is another second they spend not making Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Boooo.
Score = 6
Whoa Whoa Whoa, Dawg,
Prince of Persia initially came out in 1989, on a ton of systems. Prince of persia 2 was also awesome, and was best on SNES. Of the 7 PoP games, only 3 were on Gamecube, and neither were very good.

I stand by the enjoyability of Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, but, uh, considering the last time I played that game I was in the tenth grade, it's possibly memories are skewed. To AWESOME. Warrior Within, though, that was total crap and everyone involved with its production should feel ashamed of themselves forever.
/casual and unnecessary nerdery
Score = 8
Wow, I murdered the hell out of the word "possible" right there. And I dropped a "my" somewhere, I don't know where that thing went. I will now join the production team of Prince of Persia: Warrior Within in the Corner of Shame Which Ceases Not, But Continues On For All Time.
Score = 2
I know that the series is old as hell, but the film is obviously based on games 4-6 (which I'm also aware of came on other systems but I played them on GC). Also, Sands of Time wasn't good? Pshaw.
Score = 3
That probably explains why I can't remember any of that happening in the game I used to play a lot. Not that I got far enough to actually get somewhere...
Score = 2
I was not aware it was based on the most recent set of games. I thought they were going for the full on reboot. And I HATED PoP's latest incarnation on Xbox 360. so much Ugh everywhere for that bizarre thing.
Score = 1
yeah, I was thinking today, why didn't they base it on the original PC version... then I realised watching Jake run left to right (and sometimes right to left) through a series of dungeon levels would be really fucking boring... not a lot of plot to go on with that one...
Score = 0
Not to be King of the Geeks over here, but Disney isn't making Voyage of the Dawn Treader, it's been sold off to Fox. So yeah, someone else has been working on it while Disney dicks around with this kind of stuff.
Score = 1
I'm still stuck trying to figure out why the prince of Persia is a white guy. Magic. That's probably why.
Score = 20
in the past, people from the middle east were often white guys with blue eyes. haven't you seen all the picture of jesus? doy.
Score = 2
WHY is he doing an English accent? One of my biggest pet peeves are movies about foreign people in which everyone arbitrarily has English accents (see: Alexander, Troy). People laffed about Tom Cruise's American accent in Valkyrie, but it bothers me a lot less to have everyone either stick to their own accent or attempt the accent of the country you're trying to represent. Or speak the language (but not in this case).
Score = 19
because apparently an authentic "ancient Persian" accent would have been difficult to pull off.
Score = 3
I couldn't agree more. And it certainly doesn't help that his English accent is truly terrible.
Score = 2
It's not even really an English accent, either... just that vague kind of schoolteacherish voice that Natalie Portman used in The Phantom Menace to make herself sound, uh, queenly?
Score = 5
Your comment reminded me of when my girlfriend and I were watching Gladiator and she turns to me three minutes into it and says, "ROMAN Empire, right?"
Score = 8
LOL... that's a case of moviemakers getting their history from old movies and copying the accents of actors who were using British accents because they just happened to be British.
Score = 3
Charlton Heston as MOSES...from Illinois.

I will not watch this trailer. I refuse to allow this movie destroy the fond memories I have of this game. Boo and Hiss, Hollywood. Boo and Hiss indeed.
Score = 4
You have chosen wisely.
Score = 2
It makes perfect sense. Asians love the sand and all the historical Persians leaders were white and spoke with British accents. Oh and 'It's guarded by somesort of demon' is really good dialogue.
Score = 8
The Mummy 4 looks great but Brendan Fraser starting to look a lot like Jake Gyllenhaal

It's so obvious Gabe, you don't understand what's going on, because you don't have the dagger! Only the people with the dagger knows what's going on... Right?
Score = 6
Jake Gyllenhaal travels back in time the darnedest things. First a station wagon, now a dagger?
Score = 4
So Pirates of the Caribbean - Orlando Bloom - The ocean + Jake Gyllenhaal + Sand = This movie?
Score = 8
Jake Gyllenhaal: Gandhi, we better back up, we don't have enough sand to get up to 88!
Ben Kingsley: Sands? Where we're going, we don't need sands.
Score = 13
I enjoy Jake Gyllenhaal's acting. He's just terrific.
Score = 6
I'm just glad they're going with the Prince of Persia series and not the much less popular and far more depressing Serf of Syria series in which you spend the entirety of the game plowing and doing other forms of back-breaking labor.
Score = 20
The levels sand were similar, however.

I like how Disney is handing us this garbage with one hand, and destroying Miramax with its other at the same exact time.
No Country For Good Movies Any More.

If Don Logan wants that knife, he's gonna get it.

let's paint, exercise, and work on our british accents.
Score = 9
And our Persian ones.
Score = 5
except it's also very silly when, say, characters in a movie set in germany speak english in a german accent to other cast members who are also supposed to be german. i agree the english accent is silly, but having them speaking english in terrible persian accents would be even siller.
Score = 0
I think this movie has the potential to be entertaining in the same way the first Pirates of the Caribbean or The Matrix were entertaining, but like those movies, it will probably produce two garbage sequels.
Score = 2
Jake Gyllenhaal ain't no Johnny Depp, though.

Hello, and welcome, the me- welcome to Prince of Persia and The Sands of Time' adventure... trailer! Prince of Persia and Ben Kingsley had met ever since they were in high school. Ben Kingsley was a bully but Prince of Persia used the seven Treasure Daggers and knocked him out and Ben Kingsley got suspended instead of Prince of Persia, for some reason. So, ever since then, Ben Kingsley has swore revenge and now he will do anything to make him a misery. This is the Adventures of Prince of Persia and The Sands of Time!
Adventure.
We already said that! They were out in the sun dessert, like they always do. Then Prince of Persia always do, gone Super Prince of Persia but, ever since then, he ever saw, Ben Kingsley had came in and knocked him out and stole the Treasure Daggers. But there's one thing he didn't thought of: maybe they weren't the Treasure Daggers. Maybe they were something else! Probably. Maybe they weren't the Treasure Daggers after all!
(sorry I had to delay a little bit)
They... they WEREN'T the Treasure Daggers! But what could he stole? What were those daggers? Who knows? But this is the Adventure of Prince of Persia and The Sands of Time.
I want the extra life so bad.
So, what do YOU think? I guess you have to wait until it comes out.
So, yeah. This, the music was "It's My Life" from Bon Jovi, my favorite song, we will keep doing this adventure.
Prince of Persia is keep looking for the Treasure, the, the, the whatever it was.
I'm not saying until it's time!
But, but the Adventures of Prince of Persia and The Sands of Time will never end, probably. They will have to find whatever they were, ever, until the very end of TIME! Huh. I just gave you a big, a b- a sneak peek at what it is- they are.
Oh! I just you a BIGGER idea, so yeah!
The Adventures of Prince of Persia and The Sands of Time will go on probably forever, of the best friends- of the bestest of best friends will stick together forever. And even sleep together!
(LOL please subscribe) I'm not talking about what YOU thinking of! Hahahhaha they aren't gay.
WHY would you think Prince of Persia and The Sands of Time would be gay?
...BECAUSE THEY ARE!
That's it! You're fired, sponsor! I knew that was coming.
(and now the sponcer is now drunk and a filthey hobo and living in a card board box)
So, yeah, that's what it is.
AND PLUS THEY ARE RACIST!
(gasp) That is it, you're fired! And I'm gonna sue you! So, yeah. You're sued! Uh oh, sto-

Why villains always have to be destroying worlds? Seems counter-productive is all. I'd go into the future and steal an almanac or something.

Remember when someone took those two Nickelback songs and dubbed them together to show that they were basically the same song? I bet you could do that with every single action/fantasy movie trailer made since the year 2000... they would all have roughly the same score with the same huffing Orffian choruses, the same dramatic silences in the same places, and the same bits of text laid in at the exact same places. Someone with more technological know-how than I needs to get on this.

Jake Gyllenhaal is now clearly Paul Mounet/Charlemagne. Cause of the time traveling and logic and stuff.

After ruining my favorite childhood movies (Indy, Star Wars), cartoons plus action figures (Transformers, GI Joe, and Thundercats coming soon), Hollywood has finally gotten round to molesting my first-generation GameBoy platform heroes. What's next - board games? Oh yeah, that's right. *sigh*

The only thing I understood about this trailer was that he stuck the dagger up his butt.

shouldn't angelina jolie be in this movie?

Jake Gyllenhaal is so much hotter than the average person. It's incredible! It seems the actress plays some sort of a central role rather than just being saved all the time, good on you Disney, I guess. I never really understood the Pirates movies from the trailers or the actual movies but they were good fun anyway, which I suspect this movie will be too as long as I don't pay full price to see it.
