Scorpion King is one of my guilty pleasures, so maybe I'll like this.

I don't know, I'll watch the trailer when I get out of class

Mine too, thats why this reminds me of The Scorpion King in a bad way, it looks like it, but without the fun.

Wow, my my videogame-movie sense of judgement, this looks halfway decent!
And by my actual-film sense of judgement, this looks remarkably bad!

meh. I expect it to be as good as the later PotC films. I'm not too excited otherwise.

I recon it's gonna be OK as a matinee just cuz the effects deserves the big screen.
Plot wise i thinks it's gonna suck.
I just hope it's gonna be some fun and good action, rather then trying unsuccessfully build up a plot.

What the hell is with that accent? Why do actors all adopt stuffy english-ish speach when doing any sort of timepeice movie? Pirates of Caribbean had only one person in it that sounded vaugely from that area. No one in this trailer sounds as if they are from Persia. The Romans in Gladiator all sound English. Macbeth never sounds Scottish. Hamlet never sounds Danish...


It reminds me of that odd overly proper speak that actors put on in the old black and whites. No one really spoke like that and it wasn't any real dialect in particular, but they all had it. Now we have semi-shakespearian not quite real english for our movies.

It's always bothered me when people from "foreign lands" in movies speak with accents, either "British" or regional.

Since it's assumed the translating is being done automatically for the audience, why would, for example, a Frenchman be speaking French with a French accent?
Shouldn't he have no accent whatsoever?

I really noticed this during Luc Besson's The Messenger.
Every character speaks English, but some of them are using French accents, others are using muddy faux-British-French accents, and some speak with non-regional American English accents.

There's even a part in the movie where a character, a Frenchman, exclaims something in French.
That really made me wonder how the Hell that worked within the context of the movie, since it's assumed he's been speaking French the entire time.

As for this Prince Of Persia stuff, woof, what absolutely dreadful accents.
Apparently Persia is just a short drive from Lincolnshire.
I half expected Jake Gyllenhaal to proposition Ben Kingsley "SHOIN YA SHU'Z GUV'NA!?!?" before hopping down a chimney.

Actually, that probably would have improved this trailer by a great deal...

I think we can all agree that would improve the trailer for ANY movie.

In Pirates of the Carribean's defense, a lot of the characters were originally from London.

Other than the few older officers, no one in that movie was from England.

At least that is how it worked in those days.

It doesn't look like a good movie, but it still looks like it could be a lot of fun.
