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

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.

I think Common Sense let us down on this one. The review seems to indicate that the violence is not more than comparable movies.....but that is not clear enough and it is very, very gory. Not just action.

Those looking for a great action adventure must look elsewhere. This is just one long, boring, and repetitive adventure along the lines of One Million B.C. (one of the most boring movies of all time). The only reason I give this movie two stars is due to some impressive set pieces. Jake Gyllenhall isn't bad in this role, but he was wasted. Too bad. Parents: This is a violent and scary fantasy adventure. Your kids may get scared by this movie. Bottom Line: It had potential, but, in the end, after you've most likely fast forwarded just to see how it ends, you will be disappointed you spent the money. And if you got it for free, you'll be disappointed that you lost the time. oh well. Thanks for reading! - Movie Man

based on the popular video game Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time is a OK movie that will surely entertain your young teens but parents the only issued you need to worry about is the intense violence in this movie such as swords, and arrows being used there is a positive messages in this film it's about the bonds of brotherhood and family should be stronger than greed, competition, envy.

Good movie, a once watch kind. Was long at times. Action was good but the knife and sword fights can be a bit much for younger eyes.

Excellent! Great messages & great action with no sexual content for my year old.

Good fantasy adventure with themes of loyalty, betrayal, honor, family, and romance. What's not to like? Ideal age range of 10-14. (but I have to admit, I liked it too :-)
