Great movie, feel free to take along younger kid as well
I just went and saw this movie yesterday. Before, I had looked at some reviews saying that it wasn't such a good movie and it was hard to follow the storyline. In my opinion it was easily followed and enjoyed. My brother, who is 9, loved it and said it was an awesome movie. My sister, who is 6, said it was okay but kinda scary, as there are some scenes that are violent, but very little blood. So get off your computer and go and see it!

Some intense battle, but overall a safe bet for kids
We saw the movie with our two daughters. They loved it. I liked the fact that they could make a movie that was action-packed without any curse words or overt sexual innuendo. What little innuendo in the movie is so minute, it passes right over younger kids' heads. And for violence, I would really put it milder than any Indiana Jones movie. Worth seeing.

Good movie with good theme and characters although it has violence. Carries positive messages.
I can't say much about this movie, but I think it is pretty good and has a good theme. The violence is scary for kids, but it is all right if you are with your parents. I get puzzled at the part near the end where there is some jump in time, where one second Dastan is standing along side the Glass which contains the Sands of Time, and the next he is standing in the middle of a market square or something like that. Anyway, I think this movie is quite good and is appropriate for ages 9+.

I don't know if it is that much of a kids movie
Wait, hold on a second, is this even a kids movie? I mean, people don't kill each other in kids movies. I once had a pool party and I hated wasting a lame movie than have fun in the pool! I agree with moviefan22, this movie is really boring but then It was getting much better at the end.

Good for Younger kids, 8+
After reading poor reviews by film critics, I hesitated after planning to see it with my 8 year old video gamer. But, he had never played Prince of Persia. Anyhow, glad we went. He loved it. Lots of action. No profanity. Some sexual innuendos over his head...not a big deal whatsoever. One scene near end where throat is slashed....not gory, just happens. Otherwise, very pleased. I decided against Robin Hood with Crowe; definitely the right decisions.

My FAVORITE movie, but not for younger kids.
I am absolutely in love with this movie. It is good for most ages, although quite violent in some parts. Dastan and Tamina share some intamacies, but nothing goes further than kissing. Tamina is a very strong woman character, always thinking of her people as their princess. My little sister has watched it , and she loved it as well. (She is thirteen). It might seem a little dry in some parts, but as long as you listen to the conversations, you will thoroughly enjoy this movie.

my new favorite movie, cant miss it!
MOST AMAZING MOVIE EVER!!!!! i think this is very similar to the pirates of the carribbean series, and it even surpasses those. i liked all the interesting plot twists, and though the stunts were somewhat unbelieveable (jumping from great heights, leaping from rooftop to rooftop), they were very good and dramactic. amazing actors, all around amazing movie. there is a lot of violence, but noithing tweens couldnt handle. there is lots of slicing and blood, but you only see a quick peek of it. no sex concerns oncesoever. except for some sweet pecks between the two main characters. Dustan and Tamina are great role models because they value loyalty and honor above all else, throughout the movie Dustan proves and quotes the value of brothership. a action packed adventure that i will keep seeing again and again, it never gets old! you have to watch this movie, its amazing!

A classic
I think this is a great story full of loyalty and kids should have to watch. It has mild violence but people see way worse in video games and other things.

Thanks Violence, however, is prevalent throughout the movie, with the protagonist constantly on the run, being chased, and having to dodge arrows, blades, flames, and snakes. Despite the amount of violence, it's still not as gory or bloody as comparable movies. Ultimately, the message of familydrilling rigs

Great adventure film - a decent summer blockbuster!
It's a fairly thin plotline - like many blockbusters! There is a good bantering relationship between Dastan and Tamina - they learn slowly to appreciate each other, and repeatedly make sacrifices to keep the other safe. The overall message about loyalty and doing the right thing is a good one. The violence is mostly cartoonish thumps and thuds, with very little gore, even in swordfighting scenes. In two or three scenes, the snakes are a little scary for younger kids, particularly where snakes travel just under the sand while people are sleeping - it gave me the creeps! **SPOILER** The scariest scene is probably where the king is killed by a poisoned cloak - he appears to burn to death as if burned by acid, so it's pretty unpleasant. A great swashbuckling adventure for almost everyone, perhaps not for kids under 10 though.

Okay
Not a bad movie but, not the best. Kind of funny at parts. Is it worth seeing? Well depends if you like Jake Gyllenhaal or not. :)
