Harockerce What a beautiful movie!

Tetrady not as good as all the hype

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

r-c-s well, here you have musclehead retard Hercules...pardon Sinbad in a stitched-together movie basically "borrowing" from many other movies, namely Harryhausen, Jason & the argonauts, Sinbad movies (EG a number of moon to counter a spell ) but even from Ferrigno's Hercules movies and the silly magician Nadir is borrowed from I PALADINI (then the part was taken by Maurizio Nichetti ), Conan the barbarian (the alluring amazon queen turning into a old witch during a seduction scene ) etc. Acting is nearly non-existent, but slightly better than the Hercules movies. Evil visir dethrones senile calif and captures his bimbo daughter ( a young Alessandra Martines bound to some of these recurring "fantasy" roles ); band of iconic merry simpletons (including a dwarf, a Chinese and a "viking" ) escort Sinbad (who adds the "bada$$ grin" to his few facial expressions) during his quest for the lost "sacred gems" (Dragonball anyone? ). Jaffar the evil vizir is in bad need of a orthodontist and overacts like a high school performer (in need of a paycheck, huh?). SFX are amateurish to laughable. Sets are more "lavish", if we can use that word for this C-tier thing, and coherent than the Hercules movies, but nowhere beyond low-budget C-tier level. Picture the blob of 1980s VHS tripe, then focus on the lowest average to get a picture. Mind you, if you are under 12 the movie might hold some residual charm, and after all I have seen worst movies. Well, considering that Ferrigno's main acting exploit consisted in impersonating a retarded green monster, wearing a whig and green espadrillas, we ought to be lenient.

secretbison No, really. Sinbad is easily more entertaining than Plan 9 from Outer Space, which is more commonly considered the best bad movie ever.I won't give away all the details that make this movie so laughably awful, but I'll mention a few that I hope will convince you to find and watch this film. (You can read a more comprehensive review at www.rinkworks.com/badmovie/m/sinbad.of.the.seven.seas.1989.shtml)John Steiner hammimg up the role of Jaffar, the villain. In particular, he exclaims one two-letter word that must be heard to be believed. You'll know which one I mean when you hear it.All the music is done by one guy on a synthesizer, a total of about five different sound effects are used in all the fight scenes, and all the lines are DUBBED OVER. It seems the filmmakers didn't have the ability to record live sound on the set. All action scenes are done in slow motion, and this is made painfully obvious by Lou Ferrigno's flapping, overgrown, oiled man-pecs.However, all these shortcomings pale in comparison to the dialogue. I'll conclude with a snippet:Sinbad: Wait a minute. There's nobody here.Poochie the Dwarf: There's nobody here.Sinbad: I just said that. That's the point.

stamper Just like The Archer: Fugitive from the Empire, the last time I saw this film is like 7 or 8 years ago. I didn't even remember seeing it, but when I spoke to my brother about The Archer last time, he said: ‘Yes that was a great B movie, just as Sinbad of the Seven Seas with Lou Ferrigno.' I was like: ‘WHAT FILM?' Then he told me all about the zombies and the scene when Sinbad squished one of the zombies hearts with his bare hands and I was like: ‘Was that the movie when he rips off an arm off one of the zombies?' He said ‘YEP' and I remembered. That film was really good. I mean I do not remember many films for such a long time without having seen them, after that. The only 4 films I can recollect pretty good are this one, The Archer, The Temple of Doom and Tarantula. The latter two because well, The Temple of Doom gave me nightmares and Tarantula scared the living crap out of me. Anyway I'm wandering off here. Great trash flick this one.8 out of 10

Jojosh the Pi It takes talent to make a good movie. You have to have good everything to make it happen--actors, plot, script, directing, etc. It takes just as much talent to screw up every single aspect of a movie, while trying to do your best. This is exactly what "Sinbad" achieves. Cheesy fights; awful, unnatural (ie, hilarious) dialogue; and poor acting all combine to bring the word "appalling" to mind.This movie is not a painful bad, but a funny bad, best enjoyed with buddies. Do not pass up a chance to watch this!
