I enjoyed it, but its basically a popcorn muncher of a film.
The main stars are nice eye candy and i think they did the dagger effects well.
However as expected the plot is flimsy in places but i found that Jake and Gemma worked together well and there were a few funny moments.
Not as good as the original pirates but better then a lot of films based on computer games.

I haven't decided whether I want to see this one yet. I loved the entire experience of the game, including the plot, and I almost don't want a movie version to ruin it for me.
Though watching the trailers really make me want to install it and play it through again. This would be my fourth time playing through it, I think. I liked the game so much the first time through that I started it right up again and played through it a second time, even though the game doesn't have much replay value (nothing's different the second time through). Then a few years later I played it through again.

Just got back and that about sums it up for me. I don't play those video games so I won't venture an opinion in that area.
I enjoyed it, never played the game. The director, Mike Newell, knows to give action heroes "bounce" and Jake provides it. The actting was good but the dialog was weak, Jake does NOT have a grin of a rouge, it is a lear. Gemma was nice to look at but I do not like her voice in the film, it lacked emotion, that may have been the dialog.
Truth to tell, I saw a lot of The Scorpian King in this movie, a movie I liked a lot.
7/10 rating.

Good summer flick and good swords-n-sorcery. Scratched my itch for both. Gemma was nice eye candy and I liked JG as the Prince more than I thought I would. It told it's own story while giving enough nods to the series to be faithful to the concept but avoided the pitfall of trying to script the games.
Actually, I found the whole cast pretty engaging.
My oldest son, a big fan of the games, absolutely loved it. My wife, her friend, and her friends' daughter, all of whom had no frame of reference from the game all enjoyed it as well.
Can't say I enjoyed it quite as much as the original Pirates of the Carribean the first time I saw it, but I thoroughly enjoyed it all the same. All in all, a good time was had by all.

In a word: awful. And yes, I went in with low expectations.
It was one of those films where all the better choices the creative team could have made stood out like multiple sore thumbs, making the film all the less enjoyable.
I did like Alfred Molina as the sheik obsessed with ostriches and tax evasion. It could have used more acting/writing like that... not mention art direction that hearkened back to the old Douglas Fairbank's Thief of Baghdad and not the bad hybrid of on-location realism and video game CGI they actually used.

I felt that as movies based off of video games go, it was really good. After all, we all know how bad videogame-based movies can be (does any one else remember Mortal Kombat: Annilation?). To be honest, I never finished the first game on Gamecube some years ago, so I don't know close to the game it was. Ben Kingsley was good in it, and I agree that Alfred Molina was good too.

Absolutely not, to remember it I'd have to have seen it, and I would never do such a thing!
That's unfortunate, Sands of Time is a great game, one of the best from the last generation.
