prince of persia

i caught this one at the dollar theater, which is about as much as i was willing to pay to see it. i remember playing the old video game about twenty years ago, but ive never played any of the modern versions of the game, so i was going in blind, for all intents and purposes. the story follows the prince of persia (i think thats where they get the name from...) as his father is murdered and its pinned on him. he's on the run in order to find out who is really responsible for it and along the way he gets involved in a search for a sword that can turn back time. i liked all the parcor aspects of the film, the prince being able to run on walls and make amazing leaps and stuff, but the whole thing just felt hollow and bland.
