So I just watched the trailer for Prince of Persia on rottentomatos.com. I am still not pleased with how they white-washed it. Why isn't he actually of middle eastern descent? It's in the freaking title! And why are they speaking with faux-British accents? I never played the games because they seemed fairly difficult and I'm not a great gamer, though I do love video games. Another reason is that I didn't play is that there didn't seem to be a great deal of world building. You're essentially stuck in one large castle with no other characters except for the princess. I like traveling from place to place in video games and interacting with other characters.

That aside, I am reluctantly eager to see the film. A warning to hard core fans, they have embellished the storyline and world quite a bit. They've added a lot of action scenes and plot devices to it. I am however, a bit of an action film addict. I like fast paced films so that is part of the reason that I am drawn to it. Overall, not pleased with the selection of the cast or the accents, but it does look promising in a cheap thrill sort of way. We'll see what reviews say.
