A scowling and smirking Ben Kingsley never quite reaches the right tone as the double-crossing late king's brother, who is (obviously) the real villain of the story.
Gyllenhaal and Arterton (who are ample eye-candy for those looking for biceps-and-abs or provocatively dressed beauty to ogle) at least look like they're having a good time fleeing sword-wielding assassins. What is clear is that this two-hour adventure is a take-off of basically every other swashbuckling epic in the genre (from 300to Indiana Jones) with charming leads and heavy special effects. Based on the immensely popular video game, this action adventure will surely attract hardcore gamers, though how they will react to the movie version is yet unclear.
