NUMBER 2

 

2. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2010)

 

 

Despite ‘Prince of Persia’ being one of my all time favourites, I didn’t catch it in theatres and I regret that. The story is a pretty classic  one, combing history and fantasy, and part of why it is so great is the oriental setting (it’s the same reason why ‘Revenge of the Fallen’ is the best ‘Transformers’ flick for me). It is just magnificent.  The VFX is gorgeous and I’d say for a movie designed to be the next ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’, it succeeded quite nicely (quality, not box office wise).

The movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Gemma Arterton so from this POV it couldn’t be any better.

And then you have the score: just like how I adore the oriental background, I also adore the oriental music, and Harry Gregson-Williams brings forward some amazing tracks, completed by Alanis Morissette’s exquisite interpretation of the song ‘I Remain’. 

 

 

 

Grade: 99/100

 

 

Nice try, Shay. Surprised you went through all the trouble of getting into James' account, though.

Wow, I was just about to say the same thing.

Are we really sure this is not Shay's double account?

Does James have sexy chest hair? How many times has he seen PoP?!

[Avatree]

I'm really not sure how to process your top 3.

Prince of Persia is a lot better than people make it out to be. it's quite good actually. 

[Empire]

Well, that was sure an interesting list. Didn't agree with it much, but I doubt you will agree much with mine when I do it.

So weird that people find my Top 3 weird. Especially the no. 1. It is a universally acclaimed movie. No one hates it.

DH 2 is really good, but DH 1 is much better.

To be fair, I find the 9th placed film in most top 3's to be pretty weird

Ethan and James would make great friends.

Ethan and James would make great friends.

Why? Are tastes really aren't all that similar.

Legitimately are lists only have 8 films in common.
