I'm sure it'll be a decent flick and I'm betting I will enjoy it a lot more than any of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies (btw, did you hear they're planning a fourth one?), which I thought all sucked quite hard. I did dig the several homages to the Sands of Time trilogy - especially because we seldom get to see those in a trailer, so hopefully there will be more of those in the movie. Also, I don't feel like much of the story was spoiled, especially not if you've got half a brain to predict the outcome of a Disney movie or the knowledge of any of the games' backstory.
That said, their accents should have all been Persian, and I don't care how terrible of a job they'd have done on those. I'm especially appalled by the horrible out-of-place posh British accent on Farah (presuming they retain the original name for the princess).
I want to be excited for this...really I do. Sadly, I've come to accept that all video game movies have, and will in all probability continue to, suck.

I'd certainly appreciate a posh British accent over an American one, as I'm guessing Mr Gyllenhall will have (and the character in the latest PoP game had...ugh).
As for the girl's name, apparently they aren't going with the game name of Farah. Just checked the imdb page and her name is Tamina. And for those curious (ie. those who think the actress is fine as hell), the actress is Gemma Arterton, or as I delightfully discovered was the red-head in the last Bond movie. *drools*

Agreed, baby steps here on the accent. Though, it is the same as was in the first of the new games.
I'm very glad it doesn't look like they took ANY character cues from Emo Within or Two Whiners.
I'm very less than excited about this. I half expected him to climb platforms, fight skeletons and drink little red potions. Also to die repeatedly in spike pits.
Looks like another action packed film. I mean ACTION PACKED, like all action all the time, constant action with out a single breath. So much action you'll be bombarded with even more action and epic music blaring steadily until you'll suddenly realize that you're bored to tears of action and secretly begging the director to just take a freakin break already.
Get ready for the christmas everyday of the year and ice cream for breakfast lunch and dinner ACTION!!

Why? It's not as if an English accent is somehow closer to a Persian accent than an American accent.

Oh, it has nothing to do with authenticity. I just think British accents are sexy.
Too bad the faces behind the voices aren't.
