Review: Did you ever see this video game? It's awesome! Your character can run up walls, balance on tightropes, leap from platform to platform, defying all laws of gravity!! It's very cool. This is one thing that Disney definitely didn't miss in their silver screen adaptation of this long-running video game saga. The action-sequences are clearly the standout in this movie and the authenticity of the stunts is extremely refreshing after the recent gambit of movies which rely heavily on CGI. Not to say that this movie doesn't use it's share, but more that at least when it's 2 guys fighting, it's actually 2 guys fighting.
The story and acting are passable, the only thing that comes to mind is that Ben Kingsley looks totally hot in eyeliner.
All in all I would say that it's a great Friday night movie. It kept me entertained for the entire 1 hr and 55 minutes with a complimentary combination of men without shirts and dramatic battle scenes.

I kinda want to see this movie but I'm kinda unsure of Jake Gyllenhaal as this kind of "hero." Jury is out for me.
