Prince of Persia is actually pretty good!

Yeah the games weren't especially historically accurate to begin with. The exposition dumps where no worse than say any of the Terminator exposition dumps. There were basically no computerized special effects which frankly was totally awesome. The plot was about right for something involving time travel and the characters were as passable as basically anything else Hollywood puts out.

This is simply an example of the angry video game nerd. The movie is bad because it was based on a game. If it follows the game too closely it is bad because of that. If it doesn't follow the game really at all then it is bad because of that. These people just seem to want to complain. It's like they don't realize that of course you aren't going to get the same feelings from the movie as the game but that doesn't automatically make the movie bad.
