Watched it yesterday. What a massive disappointment. A confused, jumbled mess that did admittedly have good special effects.
Besides failing on its own merits, it was disappointing because I really like the videogame series on which it is based. And there's one other thing bugging me. I understand that some things had to be changed in the transistion from game to movie. For example, in the game, the sands are released and everyone except for the Prince and Farah turns into a and zombie. Having just two characters wouldn't quite work in a film, so I undestand that had to be changed. (Although the new storyline wasn't much good either.) Likewise, I can live with the sands being kept in a Persian city instead of India. But why change the name of the foreign princess from Farah to Tamina?
What a complete failure. Ugh.
