Konterr Brilliant and touching
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
adonis98-743-186503 The sailor of legend is framed by the goddess Eris for the theft of the Book of Peace, and must travel to her realm at the end of the world to retrieve it and save the life of his childhood friend Prince Proteus. Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas is a film that i have seen a lot of times in the Past since i was a kid myself but i never actually got the chance to review it until now and let me tell ya i'm surprised by the cast that actually gave their voices to this characters because i saw the film translated and not with the English language so hearing that Brad Pitt, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Joseph Fiennes and Michelle Pfeiffer are in the movie got me by a big surprise but i'm not surprised in there. Sinbad is a hot head of his own and Pitt has played roles like that in The Mexican for example, Marina is a brave woman that will do everything to save Sinbad, his men and Proteus just like Catherine Zeta-Jones did in Zorro and of course Pfeiffer has played similar roles like that in Stardust and Batman Returns so it does suit her well. The animation is beautiful, the adventure is superb and the action is terrific and eye popping and both kids and their parents will definitely enjoy the film.
Jawbox5 The best way to do a Sinbad film is as if it is a fantastical road- movie and one that takes him to some interesting places while we see some fun monsters. That is what this DreamWorks take on the character does well. There is main goal at the centre of the film holding it all together, but it effectively sees Sinbad travel to various exotic places and battles mythical creatures. Sinbad and the other main characters aren't that interesting, so crafting a plot line like that works greatly to the films advantage.The relatively straight-forward story sees Sinbad and his crew attempt to retrieve the 'book of peace' from the Goddess of chaos Eris in order to save the life of his best friend. It's nothing gripping, but it moves things along well enough. Sinbad (an okay Brad Pitt) does a serviceable job as our hero. He is charming and has some funny lines, but he is a quite bland. We don't really know anything about him and he doesn't have any features that make him interesting. An ambassador named Marina (Catherine Zeta-Jones) joins them and she is a fun female lead, she's thoughtful but tough enough to get things done. The rest of the crew are just forgettable, however I do find Kale's exchanges with Sinbad funny and Rat has some humorous moments.The best feature of the film is easily Eris. Not because she's overly complex, but mostly because of the fantastic design and Michelle Pfeiffer's engrossing vocal work. Her movements are animated beautifully, the way she spirals and shape shifts is just great to watch. Every time the character shows up on screen it is gripping and Pfeiffer's seductive voice is just perfect for the part.This is the last 2-D animated film that DreamWorks have done and it looks fantastic for the most part. The seas look vast and mysterious, while the locations are well designed whether it be bright or wintery. Places like Tartarus and Eris' realm are effectively designed. Some of the CGI used can standout against the backgrounds as seen with the Eris' sea monster which looks a little ropey. But elsewhere it looks great, especially with the design of the Roc. The action and the swordplay is always suitably energetic too. The score by Harry Gregson-Williams fits the film nicely and does a solid job of conveying the adventure or threat that is taking place on screen. The jokes and the dialogue is rather inconsistent. Some of the more 'modern' speak and puns do fall quite flat, but some of the jokes can be a lot of fun. I'd have preferred it if they had kept a more timeless way of speaking. The interactions between the crew can be funny and you do get a sense of comradery between them. Sinbad and Marina do have chemistry, yet it is clear where they're story is going. They argue a lot and are competitive, but you know that they'll hook up in the end. Some subtle changes to the formula would have made the film more engaging.However, for what it is Sinbad is an enjoyable adventure romp and delivers pretty much everything you would expect a film of this type to. On the whole it is rather hit and miss, but what it does well it does really well. While Sinbad might not be a great hero, Eris makes for a great villain. The animation is very good, the creatures are fun and action is always entertaining. Some elements are a touch weak, but the focus is kept on moving the film along and in the end it is an enjoyable piece.
lisafordeay Sinbad Legend Of The Seven Seas is a 2003 animated movie from Dreamworks Animation and tells the tale of the swashbuckling thief Sinbad(voiced by Brad Pitt who I swear looks like Eugene Fitzherbert from Tangled)who is framed for stealing the book of piece,but Arias(voiced by Michelle Phieffer)pretended to be him so that he can be framed for doing it. Of course Sinbad's buddy (voiced by Joseph Fiennes) knows that Sinbad will never steal the book of piece so he decides to free Sinbad so that he can get the book of piece off Arias. Problems arises however when Sinbad falls for his buddies fiancé named Mariana(voiced by Catherine Zeta Jones) who joins Sinbad on his quest to find the book of piece.Overall I found this film entertaining,its got great animation,the voice cast was good even though you know its an actor behind a microphone but still all animated movies have well known actors in them from Eddie Murphy to Ben Stiller etc. The story is nice too and the backgrounds look great. The film is like a cartoon version of Pirates of the Caribbean and the charcther design for Sinbad is like a carbon copy of Eugene Fitzherbert from Tangled despite the fact Sinbad was made in 2003 while Tangled was released in 2010. Yeah I mention Tangled a lot in my reviews apologizes for that but hey if you are looking for a fun swashbuckling adventure movie with great action and charcthers Sinbad Legend Of The Seven Seas isn't a bad movie to watch check it out and see what you think of it.
SnoopyStyle Bandit of the seas Sinbad (Brad Pitt) is tricked by Greek goddess of chaos Eris (Michelle Pfeiffer). She steals the magical Book of Peace and he's framed for the thief. Sinbad is sentenced to death. His childhood friend Prince Proteus (Joseph Fiennes) of Syracuse is a straight arrow, and he takes the place of Sinbad for his punishment. Sinbad is given 10 days to return the book or else Prince Proteus will be put to death. Proteus' fiancée Marina (Catherine Zeta-Jones) stowaway on Sinbad's ship while he debates whether to runaway to Fiji.This is a DreamWorks animation. It has the looks of a 2-D animation along with CG. It looks like a cheaper straight to video animation. This money loser signals a change over to the CG world. The story lacks suspense or magic, but it seems just good enough. The big name voices doesn't help anything. The high seas adventure is reasonable but rambling. The lack of moral backbone is very trying.
