To conclude, "Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" is among the best movies ever inspired by a video game. It does not include fight actions only, but also, the theme and the plot are well-written, creating a compact story. Although its rating PG-13 or intense sequences of violence and action, the fighting scene is not so violent compare to other action films. So I believe this film is generally accepted. Its action scenes and CGI sequence are nice. At the end of the adventure, justice stands and sacrifice worth. To be frank. Not many people are actions fans, but combined with a little romance and the positive messages brought out. It should be accepted by general and this film will definitely have a distinct evaluation.
