I borrowed Prince of Persia: Sands of Time from the library last week and watched it over the weekend. That was the most irritating movie I've ever had my hands on. The DVD was scratched terribly and wouldn't play in anything other than a computer. Dedicated DVD players wouldn't read it, my Xbox 360 wouldn't read it. Even my PC wouldn't until I downloaded a new video decoder. I don't know if it was the scratches or the copy protection (which my PC did complain about), but just trying to play this movie and an adventure unto itself. It leave me wishing I had the sands of time myself, so I could go back and stop myself from getting this movie.
I enjoyed the movie itself, once I finally got to see it. I've not followed the game series, so I can't speak to how well it adapts that. As a standalone action flick, however, it was entertaining. I wouldn't mind seeing a sequel.
