5 Signs 'Prince of Persia' Is Going to Suck

Jerry Bruckheimer and Disney, the dream team that gave us "Pirates of the Caribbean," have teamed up with Jake Gyllenhaal to create something decidedly less awesome.

In this latest installment of Hate by Numbers, Gladstone breaks down the signs of suck-itude in the trailer for "The Prince of Persia" ...

I came here hoping to see some legitimate points. I'm a big fan of the game and a supporter of Jake Gyllenhaal, so I've been conflicted as to whether to be excited about this movie or not; there's always the fear that they will butcher it and destroy the integrity of Prince of Persia.

Anyway, your "5 signs" are complete bullshit:
1. The accent: it's the same in the game, which I was happy to see (hear)
2. All actors have had their bad movies. But I'll accept this as a legitimate point against the movie, as you may have a personal dislike...even so, why then do you list some good roles as well? That weakens your claim.
3. This is not even a point. Gyllenhaal played a homosexual in a movie once, so this movie's gunna suck? Not sure how that claim will fly in this day and age.
4. Sweet. Pirates of the Caribbean was an awesome movie (and trilogy imo), and not just because of Depp. I suppose your claim here boils down to "Jake Gyllenhaal is a bad actor", which is obviously untrue.
5. I'm very glad this trailer looks like the game promo. That's the desire of every fanboy of a game.

I'm never coming to this site again

Good, because the movie hasn't been released yet and this isn't investigative journalism or a review. It's me cracking jokes about a trailer. Tell you what. See the movie and if it sucks, throw a little whiny hissy fit like you did here until they give you your money back.

I'm with you dude. This is probably one of the weakest arguments I've seen in a looooooong time. Are you ACTUALLY knocking the movie for ACTUALLY resembling the game. If it wasn't supposed to be similar, it would be called something else. Cheers mate.

Robert,

I didn't criticize the game. And I have no reason to doubt your assertion that these games are good for the mind. They've done wonders for you. Most people aren't smart enough to stick 9 sentences together with no punctuation the way you can.

Maybe you should learn the definition of a joke before you start "cracking jokes".... This video should be added to failblog because you FAIL.

Actually, it kind of makes sense that the Prince be caucasian. Persia is what is now Iran. The word Iran comes from the word Aryan. White people. Look it up. Kay, now that I've succeeded in being a pretentious know-it-all...Lulz at gay jokes!

I find it strange that GLadstone makes so many homophobic jokes because there are lots of rumours flying round net that he himself is a homosexual.

Oh my...
Is people going in a fuzz because they ran into a comedic installment about a product they are excited about?
This was funny and this is comedy: if you like Gyllenhall or P.o.P. read... a Prince of Persia online slashfiction comic! (gay jokes, I cannot quit you!)
Oh and... GB: you truly define the proverb: "Arguing on the internet is like competing at the special olympics: even if you win you are still a retard!"

So are you people really saying that this huge piece of shit looks like a good movie?
Is that your argument?

G-Man, I followed you over here, but these AOL types, well, I don't know.

I wish I knew how to quit you...
