Prince of Persia

Prince of Persia was a disappointment with such great special effects and potential as an Indiana Jones almost feel.  Where this movie fell flat was that the hero wasn't really one.  The king brings you off the street and takes you into his home you would think he would be more likable.  The story was also pretty lame because it looks like he is someone who uses the power of this magic knife to really make a difference.  All it turned out to be was some punk gets a magic knife, stops his uncle from taking the throne and he falls in love.  wow that was just about the entire movie.  My wife who is the expert on love stories also points out that when he does go back to meet his love (who is the ruler of a peaceful city  he just invaded) seems to fall in love with a little too fast.  Especially considering he just led an army to kill many of her people.
Sorry I will put this into the category of movie where the special effects is better than the movie.
