Prince of Persia trailer

"Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time" finally received its first feature trailer, and at this stage, I like what I'm seeing. It definitely doesn't look perfect, but it sure is action-packed. See below for more.

In the film, Prince Dastan (Gyllenhaal) teams up with a princess (Arterton) to stop a villain from laying his hands on the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that can be used to reverse time and rule the world.

Also starring are Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, Toby Kebbell and Dave Pope. Mike Newell, whose credits include "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral," is directing.

"Persia," of course, is based on the popular videogame series, and the film opens May 28, 2010. The trailer looks impressive indeed, although some of the dialogue in there is throwing me off a bit right now.

There's just too much talking about daggers and stuff. What do you think? Share your thoughts below.
