The trailer was released on the 3rd of November if you havent seen it check it out on you tube. I think the film looks great but what do you guys think are you going to watch it and will it finally break the video game movie curse.

Umm, I'm not sure of what to think of this. I mean, I love the games, but the movie might ruin it for me. Ahh, I have to see it though. I hate when film makers do this. Why don't they just come up with something original?

I like games, and it may be good, but I don't think that making games into movies is great. I think that the movies just totally alter the plotline.
(Glad the Prince of Persia series ended, or else disney would keep going on and on with Prince of Persia movies.

Doubt it. It'll be mediocre at best.

hmm looks like it would be pretty entertaining, though thats hard to determine from a trailer. Though really the amount of game to movie adaptations looks like it is going to be as bad as the movie to game adaptation already is. Either way the adaptations tend to be mediocre at best. Though this movie is being made by someone who made a movie based off of a boat ride at a theme park, and it was successful....so I will wait and see what happens with this one. Interesting note though. From what I know Gears of War, Halo, World of Warcraft, are all apparently getting movies. Assassins Creed has a mini-series that already has the first part out(you can see it on youtube) and those are just the biggest ones. Things are either getting serious in the industry, or just plain out of hand.

The only thing I will say is the trailer had elements of the two thrones when he held the dagger he looked like the dark prince and also there was a wepon that resembled the whip like chain he uses in worrior within. I will admit ive never actually played the sands of time but I know the story pretty well and it doesnt look quite like the story from the game. However Jerry Bruckhiemer took a big risk with pirates and that paid of so it could this time.

well, i think it'll be sweet if it actually follows the story line of the game, i mean sure, it'll be kinda like watching the movie, but i'd like to see that be done. but, i don't think they will, and did someone say it was a disney movie?? i hope not.. it'd be horrible then =/

This could be good. This all depends on what Disney does with it.

The movie will probably be a 12a or pg-13 whatever you call it. Disney doesnt make violent movies and the game was a 16+ (i think?).
