Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

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.

Kirpianuscus nice. and this is the basic virtue of any animation. because the story could be surprising only for the details and the voices are the only clue for define interesting characters and the adventures are crumbs from same type many another films. short, the noble friend, the thief who becomes hero, the love as the necessary spice, a bad girl who seems be the most important motif to see the film. and, sure, perfect actors to give soul to the characters. it is not easy to define Sinbad as a great animation. but it represents pure entertainment. and this is the only thing who could be considered important. because , maybe, it is a good opportunity to remind the old stories about the legendary travels of the lead hero.

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.

Dr Jacques COULARDEAU Apart from the animation, hence the special visual effects of this animation, the film is rather banal though it has little to do with the original Sindbad the Sailor. It adds a supernatural evil world dominated by a woman that goes far beyond the story as we know it and even as we can dream it. The main story here is about the existence of a book of peace that establishes peace in the world. The supernatural evil being wants to steal it to create chaos and havoc. She manages at first and then Sinbad has to recuperate it.Yet the story adds three elements that give it some interesting dimension. The first one is a dog. Sinbad has a big and extremely faithful and frightening dog that can fight just like any other sailor. Sinbad is not a merchant he is a captain and he has the whole crew of his ship under his own command, including the dog who is also a perfect autonomous attacker.. The second real change or addition is the fact that Sinbad has an extremely old and close friend and it looks and sounds like more than just a best friend. This best-er friend is ready to exchange his own life for that of Sinbad after the evil woman has stolen the book and Sinbad is accused of being the mastermind of the theft. But this best friend is about to get married to the daughter of the local ruler. So she does not exactly like the deal. She knows Sinbad has not stolen the book his best friend had brought in the first place, but she does not trust Sinbad who is supposed to go and recuperate it. So she goes along, incognito at first but very fast known of all and public.That's the really funny part because she falls in love of course with that poor Sinbad who did not exactly fell for her at first sight, even if his dog did. But after the confrontation with the evil female supernatural being with whom Sinbad had a "truth or dare" game of some sort that this evil woman declared he had lost, Sinbad and his best friend's fiancée have to go back. But unluckily for the evil woman he had told her if he did not get the book he would go back to save his friend. She did not believe it: "You lied!" But he does go back and he takes the place of his friend on the execution chopping block, which gives the lie to the evil woman who had called him a liar. Strangely enough this evil woman has honor and she comes and delivers the book since Sinbad had said the truth and thus had won the game. I let you discover the last twist that gives a perfect good ending in romantic colors and music to the film. It should be a good film for primary school kids, but beyond twelve you'd better abstain.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU
