About Sinbad - Legend of the Seven Seas

Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas, an animated adventure from the DreamWorks studio, has little connection to the original fables from the Arabian Nights, but it's an entertaining romp nonetheless. Sinbad (voiced by the midwest vowels of Brad Pitt) gets commissioned by the wicked goddess Eris (Michelle Pfeiffer) to steal a magical book called the Book of Peace from the city of Syracuse--but the prince of Syracuse turns out to be a childhood friend of Sinbad's. So Eris steals the book herself and frames Sinbad, making the hero sail to the edge of the world to get it back, accompanied by Marina (Catherine Zeta-Jones), a woman he's secretly loved for years. The movie skillfully blends hand-drawn and computer images. The storyline is surprisingly well-constructed and actually has some thoughts about friendship and personal fiber, while providing all the swashbuckling, derring-do, and cliffhangers you could want. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

Surprisingly fantastic!

Some of you may remember the preview for this movie being something like this: "From the creators of Shrek--- fart jokes!" I thought I would hate this movie. I was absolutely wrong.

It's deep. It's emotional. It's entertaining for all ages, has beautiful art, animation and design, great music, and a profound message. Why can't more movies be like this? July 3, 2008

A Poor Rewrite

Now as I recall, Sinbad was an Arabic sailor out of Basra and his religion Muslim.

So you have to wonder why the whole shebang was rewritten and transported over to ancient Greece. Not that I'd accuse the studio of pandering to prejudice.

Watch a real adventure: The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, with John Phillip Law and Tom Baker. It's imaginative, fun, and not afraid to show other parts of the world. May 21, 2008

great movie

I thought that this was a GREAT movie! I love the dialogue throughout the film, it gave the movie a much more real feel. The CG is very good. Not absolutely amazing, but very good. A very colorful film. The basic message behind the movie is that there is good in humans. Not exactly an idea I agree with, but still a very entertaining movie. October 27, 2007

Loved it!

Great voices and great animation. Awesome adventure that is well thought out and well done! June 20, 2007

Visually Stimulating

The character of Eros was the first I've ever seen drawn this way. You've got to see this movie just for that, but even further, it's an excellent story with great special effects. June 13, 2007
