故事簡介

一個充滿神話與傳奇的年代。身手了得的流氓王子,當遇上神秘而氣質冷艷的落難公主之後,便被逼加盟到她的組織之內。組織的任務,就是要尋找、守護上古天神遺留給世人的一件絕世神器:一把能夠逆轉時空、名為「時之砂」的神聖匕首。另一方面,由於匕首擁有改變世界的超凡力量,難免引來邪惡勢力伺機爭奪。一場關乎人數存亡的正邪大戰,已是一觸即發…!(所有戲院都寫錯哂, 跟左個GAME嚟寫)
故事發生在一個充滿神話與傳奇的遠古年代。身手了得的波斯王子達斯坦(積嘉倫賀 飾),遇上神秘美豔的塔美娜公主(珍瑪雅德頓 飾)。此時,王子郤無辜被捲入王叔尼薩(賓京士利 飾)的奪位陰謀當中,慘成殺父疑兇而被全國追捕…與此同時,公主身上懷有能逆轉時空、操控人類命運的『時之匕首』,因而成為群魔暗殺目標。為了人類的最後希望;更為了要回到過去,改變自己命途,達斯坦決定單槍匹馬、無懼險阻,護送公主到『守護者聖殿』。一場關乎眾生命運的正邪之戰,瞬即爆發!。(呢個先係堅架)
導演 : 米克紐維爾
演員 : 積嘉倫賀, 珍瑪雅德頓, 賓京士利(勁唔鍾意"積佳蘭賀"呢個譯名, 所以跟生果報叫, 而且跟小黃另一"飛佛"譚校長一樣有個"倫"字, 所謂, "雙倫合壁, 天下無敵!")片長 : 116 分鐘
級數 : IIA
語言 : 英語 (中文字幕)

由去年5月份得悉此片開拍起, 一直期待了一年, 終於等到佢出世喇!
一看香港中文譯名, 立即氣上心頭, 什麼"超時空之戰"? 咁似N年前亞記套卡通片"超時空要塞"既? (真巧, 早兩天有位聽眾點唱呢首歌呢!), 為什麼不直譯"時之砂"呢? 這樣便像一個中東女子, 披著面紗, 讓人有衝動去揭開她的浪漫與神秘感的吸引力啊!
香港人的創意......
今日下午睇完, 第一時間上嚟寫觀後感
先說整體: 電影充滿無限想象力、壯闊場景和精彩動作,以及大場面和聲效特技,把觀眾带入到一個全新的從未體驗過的世界中去
畫面佈景方面: 單是這個畫面, 已感到華麗神秘, 宮殿古城華麗堂皇,目不暇給......
第一幕王子攻城後, 站在城的頂端, 躍下前以王子角度觀看古城四周,如置身其中; 亦有氣勢磅礡的沙漠奇觀及整個古城被摧毀時的震撼
服裝方面: 很細緻, 富心思, 又極盡華麗, 特別是王子的手帶, 充分把強勁臂彎的肌肉展露無遺
動作方面: 有點"成龍式", 但有過之而無不及, 跳躍攀爬乾脆俐落, 沒有多餘動作, 花巧特技! 比打機更有質感, Jake少更為此片而苦練"跑酷(Parkour)", 更要每天負重6公斤練跑, 6個月內重拾JARHEAD時的六塊腹肌, 有八成動作是親身上陣, 看來他真的由文藝小生脫胎換骨, "絕對打出動作巨星的水準 - USA Today", 進身動作型男之列並非浪得虛名!
被陷害的王子Dastan, 落難後不斷被追捕, 自己也不其然替他緊張, 彷彿也被追捕著, 驚險刺激, 透不過氣來
時空逆轉時, 一按匕首上的掣, 便如靈魂出鞘般飄離肉身, 如看魔法幻術般讚嘆, 好像"仙巴歷險記","阿拉丁"或"天方夜譚一千零一夜"的感覺呢!

除動作連場, 節奏緊湊外, 亦有小情小趣, 令人捧腹, 如王子Dastan與公主Tamina的打情罵悄, 互窒的對白抵死過癮, 其中一句, 當他們逃避追兵, 跑到沙漠時, 公主嚷著喝水, Dastan佻皮的說: "若妳不是只顧喝水, 守好城門, 現在便不在這兒了!" 又當Tamina喋喋不休, 弄得Dastan不勝其煩時, 他說: "請賜我忍耐力不去殺她!" 他倆像兩小無猜般很有火花啊! 至於那位市儈的賽駝鳥商人, 每字每句均令人捧腹, 讓緊張的氣氛作了緩衝, 讓人有喘息的空間

有動作, 幽默之餘,  也有感動位, 是當描寫親情, 兄弟情及愛情, 如王帝對Dastan一番肺腑之言; Dastan向兩位王兄告知真相而獲得信任時, 偏偏被殺; 結局Dastan對Tamina的承諾; 以及黑人飛刀手捨命奪取時之匕首, 駝鳥商人為幫王子逃脫被拘捕等, 均令我動容

人物角色方面: 王子Jake演的Dastan不只俊朗(去年第一次接觸他這長髮滿面鬍渣的造型很不悅, 怎料現在越來越耐看), 且演活了鐵漢柔情帶點幽默感與小聰明, 演技更大躍進.....
有"Brockback Mountain"Jack Twist 的柔情; "The Day After Tomorrow" Sam Hall的勇敢; "Zodiac" Robert Graysmith 的睿智; "Renditon" Douglas Freeman 的正義; "Brothers" Tommy Carhill 的重親情; 'Jarhead" Anthony Swofford 的威猛...... (詳情請參閱my blog中的"招Jake細界")
希望他能憑此片, 讓大眾直呼他的名字"Jake Gyllenhaal", 或積嘉倫賀, 不用再稱他為"斷背積" (雖然這BBM真是超經典)
而女主角珍瑪雅德頓Gemma Arterton演的公主由開始的高貴, 至落難後耍小女孩性子, 倔強中見活潑, 雖不算很美, 亦沒有驚艷的感覺, 但頗有氣質及"索"呢
型男索女很相襯, 鬥氣或感情戲都充滿火花

Jake64-1.jpg picture by Wonka1971

至於Ben Kingsley演的奸角王叔, 單是造型, 已彰顯出來, 入型入格, 但略嫌樣版化
不過, 最搶鏡要算是演賽駝鳥的市儈商人Alfred Molina, 原來他就是Spider Man 2中的奸角八爪魚人, 在此片由一個貪婪, 整天用盡方法逃稅的商人, 因他的奴隸Steve Toussaint飾的黑人飛刀手Seso救回一命, 最後更為協助王子逃走而犧牲, 性格來個180度轉變......

此片除給予官能刺激, 富娛樂怛外, 也言之有物:
借古喻今 - 古波斯帝國被奸臣陰謀所騙, 像布殊時代美國以無中生有的"大殺傷力武器"為理由侵略別國,全靠波斯王子補救,這是很諷刺的影射
對白中不乏金句, 帶出不少訊息, 值得深思與反省:
仁者不單止採納忠言, 而且能聽取自己的心

不單止要做好人, 更要做個偉大的人 "Be a good man, but, be a great man"
兄弟情, 是保護國家的利器
(我每聽一次,
一次, 特別係Dastan自殺及兩個王兄死的時候)

宿命, 既然不能逃避, 只有面對, 儘管如何不想

你什麼都有,有愛, 尊重, 親情, 為什麼係仍嫌不夠???? (王子鬧王叔鬧得好型呀!!!)

首尾呼應: "傳說有些人能夠穿越時空,那是來自遠古的呼喚"(大意), 以宿命為主要課題
儘管打機迷對結局失望, 原著是有點缺口及較為淒美; 而電影較圓滿溫馨, 配合迪士尼的風格, 不過我較喜歡後者有驚喜, 雖然亦讚同不是太完美, 應該可以交待得更清楚, 機迷們的異議, 或許是他們根深柢固的情意結吧! 畢竟這game已有20多年歷史了, Jake也說他八歲時已開始玩了
再者, 由於Game分許多集(5集), "The Sands of Time"是最早一集, 機迷們認為這結局過於圓滿, 沒有缺口, 留不到下集的伏線; 王子公主的結合亦很兒戲, 但我認為王子與公主的對話, 及公主最後的一個表情已露出玄機, 亦是一個"隱藏缺口": (大意)
當公主問王子: "你認為一個攻打自己國家的人值得相信嗎?" 王子: "當然!"公主:"你作弄我?"; 王子: "我們還未熟稔到可以作弄你把? 不過希望這一日很快到來!" 公主露出若有所悟的表情......
而片尾曲"I remain"中的歌詞亦表達了公主選擇相信王子原因, 可堪玩味
配樂亦精彩, 彷彿跟王子去歷險
綜合來說: 靚人靚景, 動作俐落, 全無冷場, 儘管作為商業動作特技大片, 未能全面兼顧劇情, 加上說到底是改編, 編劇當然不想跟足電玩的內容, 所以亦無可厚非, 但已經很緊湊, 追著看下去, 而主角每次不同的經歷總有驚喜
總之, 合格有餘, 超出預期, 值回票價, 亦打算一看再看, 三看四看......
作為超級JG迷, 當然希望續集接踵而來 - Warriot Within, The Two Thrones, Forgotten Sands, 及Revelations 繼魔盜王系列(是同一班底)成為另一經典系列!
(這編相信是所有JG電影觀後感最長的一篇了)

    I watched it a long time ago. I just forgot to tell you how I felt until I visited your blog this morning hahaha... as you are a super fan haha.
  • Kenji Chan
    I have eventually watched the film. Although it won't be one of my top 20 films this year, I have to say that it is an entertaining, heartwarming and romantic blockbuster. Thanks for your recommendation.
    • 小黃部屋
      U'r welcome! So glad that u found it's entertaining too!
      (ar~~ but not released DVD yet! or u download to see? )
      Recently, I have watched "Despicable Me" , quite surprising and touching!
  • 失魂貓
    嘩, 你寫影評寫得好詳盡及精彩, 你找到甘多靚相, 正呀
    • 小黃部屋
      歡迎光臨, 多謝欣賞!
      啲劇照真係好靚, 想睇多啲可以去呢度!
      http://www.iheartjakemedia.com/index.php?cat=109
      而呢度就有不少Jake Gyllenhaal的電影介紹
      http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/wonka-1971/index?l=f&id=9&page=3
      有空多點來喔!

    • JakeG狂迷
      始終覺得王叔一開始就對把dagger虎視眈眈呢!
      證實破左3憶喇!
      • 小黃部屋
        你呢個問題恕我無能為力咯
        嘩! 好野! 出DVD一定要支持, 破4憶大關!
    • JakeG狂迷
      有一疑問, 既然王叔個目標係把匕首, 點解唔一早就叫王子俾佢, 又要搞到殺王兄, 又搵夏山族人殺王子, 唔明呢?
      • 小黃部屋
        我諗係王叔之後秘密見王子果陣, 講左匕首既用途佢先知呢!
        "POP"上左成一個月喇! 呢幾日仲有幾間戲院上, 部份仲有黃金時間添, 果然勁! 破3憶有望喇!

      我冇玩過呢個game呀! 入場前仲矇盛盛連個名都未睇過就入場(剩係知POP, 唔知有"超時空之戰"呢個名) 所以同學們睇完話仲以為穿梭時空, 點知得一分鐘... 話說回來, 細jake真做得幾好! 我其實唔係好鍾意佢在BBM, 好似夾硬扮老咁...好同意你所說的"成龍式"動作片, 其實在魔盜王2已覺外國的動作很有成龍feel, 可見外國已青出於藍...反觀港產片... 未來應該仲有排拍續集, 好期待呀! 我都覺公主好似知道d野咁...希望佢有返d記憶啦, 兩個人經歷左咁多...
      • 小黃部屋
        呢個中文片名絕對趕客, 分分鐘續集都係叫超時空之戰 2 呢!
        我都有同感, 其實BBM講Jack死時只有39歲, 有乜理由扮到成60幾咁, 又整好多皺紋同鬚, 搞到唔靚仔, 反而Ennis唔駛扮老!
        原來POP有成3個Parkour Consultants架, 一啲都唔野少! 近期最有質素既動作港產片有" 打擂台 ", 值得推介!
        超期待POP有續集, 起碼有4集, 如果game繼續出唔止添! 好多時得番主角有記憶好慘呢!
        你除左POP同BBM, 仲睇左Jake咩戲呀? 不妨交流一下

    • Kenji Chan
      Please DEL the previous one. Thanks. Frankly I am disappointed with Bobby and Mickey. They do not say thank
      you. They even do not respect movies. Still, sometimes they do have some
      good arguments. Anyway, when I decided to stop hosting the
      show, I found that two guys from UST have a youtube show called UST
      movie reviews. Because both shows also use youtube, I think they may
      help host our show. In fact, I have connections with more than 10 movie
      distributors, so I can attend previews often. I just want to share this
      very good platform with these two UST students who also love movies.
      When they contacted me and asked me how to get free tickets to previews,
      I invited them to host our show... then I passed everything to them.
      Anyway, their taste is really strange... when they love a film, I often
      hate it. When they hate it, I love it. But it does not matter... the
      most annoying thing is that they do not respect movies. When you listen
      to their show on Iron Man, you will know why. I love dramas, but
      POP is an entertaining commercial action film. I used to watch many
      entertaining blockbusters, so now I am not interested. I prefer to watch
      films with very good messages and require me to THINK after the
      screening.
      • 小黃部屋
        Many thanks for introduce this new mov reviews to me, i will visit there later.
        I misunderstood 'dramas' mean "舞台劇" nai!
        POP is not only entertaining, but also including some philosophy, although not so many as mentioned in this blog as above, btw, I respect your choices!
    • Kenji Chan
      Bobby評論過於偏激 - sometimes yes! Totally agree... I also dont like people
      using rubbish to describe movies as it is a concerted effort of many
      people. We should respect movies... just like a teacher should not use
      rubbish to describe a very naughty student as everyone has his
      weaknesses and strengths. So does this movie. I believe he should
      mention the pros too. You are right... in the past I usually mentioned
      the pros and cons too.... but they did not take my advice... I have
      mentioned it to them several times.

      是否因為如此, 所以你退出這個評論? No... Just because I am too busy because of the new
      school... so I pass the show to them... it is a pity that I think
      sometimes they do not respect movies.... but of course sometimes their
      arguments are good. Indeed, after passing the show to them, they have
      not thanked me... I persoanlly think they should learn to be polite and
      thankful. Sigh...

      Sorry that they have not commented on BBM, Zodiac, Rendition,
      Brothers.
      打擂台 is great. I just love it... the best HK movie so far this year. POP should be great fun... but I am personally into dramas and so Im still not very motivated... Have you seen A Team? It is said that the film is very entertaining.
      • 小黃部屋
        Their thought is so strange, just liketheir comment on "How to Train Yr Dragon", Bobby said that only scene and music was enough, no need to add dialogue, how come he said that? Anyway, so glad to hear that you have quited from that ''devil place" which is full of bias and those who do not respect other opinions! Curiously want to ask, are they your students or friends indeed?
        I remember that you have comment on Zodiac in my previous XANGA before nai:  http://hk.myblog.yahoo.com/wonka-1971/article?mid=356
        I have written review for "Gallants", feel free to take a look la! What's the meaning of "but I am personally into dramas", i.e. POP looks like a drama? so have no motivation to watch? But for "A Team", I'm not interested in it r!
        Best wish to your new job to be more enjoyable and fruitful!

    • Kenji Chan
      Thanks so much for leaving a message there. I have not seen the film (as I'm v. busy these days... and will wait for the VCD), but I totally dislike their approach. It..
      • 小黃部屋
        首先別誤會我的前一個回覆你的留言是針對Bobby或一面倒支持這齣戲, 如這篇Blog, 我也有提及劇情也有不足之處, 不只我覺得他的評論過於偏激, , 不止我, 原來我一些朋友也有聽過以前的電影評論, 有正有反的(那時應該是有你加入的), 這樣才算是中肯與客觀的, 他們更說, 不論一面倒批評或讚賞(指公開的)也是不負責任的行為與表現, 亦影響或誤導了判斷力較低的朋友作決定呢! 是否因為如此, 所以你退出這個評論? 可否再給我關於JG其他電影的評論, 如BBM, Zodiac, Rendition, Brothers的link給我, 很想聽回呢? 謝謝, 亦謝謝你支持及諒解我的愚見!
        看大製作, 當然是要在大銀幕, 就算小本製作, 如"打擂台", 我也堅持入場看, 要支持全球電影業嘛! 希望你能抽空(如何忙也要relax一下架! 不要忙壞呀! ), 我很後悔當時沒在大銀幕看"明日之後", 在電視看已只餘10%的震撼了!
    • Kenji Chan
      Wow it is a very detailed review. Bobby dislikes this movie. Do you agree with his points? Listen to it if you have time. Thanks!

      • 小黃部屋
        Just listened, different ppl has different point of view, I don't think that plot is 100% good or 100% bad, as I said that as above some hidden hints have explained the story (maybe he didn't recover). In additon, the game need to take many times to finish (some player said nearly one month), it's difficult to put all elements into limited only 116 mins mov. By the way, be the commercial and entertaining mov, it meets the basic need.
        Why didn't you join this comment? Still not watch? or affected by his comment?
        as what one sentense in the mov  "Benevolent man not only listen the advice, but also his heart" if hv intention to watch, just watch, dun be influenced by the comment (whether good or bad).
        Therefore, before I watched any movie, I didn't listen any comments first. I am an objective watcher!

              雖然好多人話佢呢個造型好唔掂, 好唔襯佢, 但我覺得佢轉型成功呢!
              • 小黃部屋
                你都喜歡中文譯名"積嘉倫賀"多過"積佳蘭賀"哩, 希望佢以後既中文名可以統一啦!
                邊個夠膽批評佢造形唔掂?! 佢絕對超成功!
            • JakeG狂迷
              評論得很詳細, 好深入, 我都睇左, 真係好好睇, 全無冷場, 我睇嗰場全院滿座, D笑位令到笑聲震院, D打鬥位更加越睇越緊張, 我都打算再去睇呀!
