Few weeks ago my girlfriend is requesting me to treat her to this movie the moment it becomes shown. I had the chance to watch the invitational screening so then I grab her. She was so inlove with Jake Gyllenhaal, the reason why i doubt of bringing her in. I noticed that she was really enjoying every single scene the movie has. She said she could not imagine watching her ultimate crush.
I have nothing against this movie, I agree with her that it was done with great quality. I enjoyed every fighting scenes and the romance of Dastan and Tamina. The story has no clear depth but it was an amazing thing to show how beautiful Persia is. I salute the concept of this movie, the setting was artistically made and I consider this film as one of the best in cinematography. The mode of passion and the puzzle of death adds flavor to the twist. Despite of confusing storyline it is advisable that you pay attention on each scene because you have to keep track on which is a flashback or not. Over all package is great, unbelievable stunts, elegant style , I love the performance of the cast and it was a successful attempt to show art in the form of film. I am sure that this movie will hit the box office chart.
