I agree with Eric. I don't know the game and I was pleasantly surprised by this movie (I normally avoid video game adaptations.). In my opinion it's solid adventure-action-fantasy work, it has a coherent fairy-tale plot [princess, pauper "prince," 3 brothers and a father-conflict, a mythical motivation: time - tied to masculinity, the dagger], and I liked the acting for what the movie was trying to be.
