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

Loved it!.......2007-06-20
Great voices and great animation. Awesome adventure that is well thought out and well done!
Visually Stimulating.......2007-06-13
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.
When the villainy is better than the heroics..........2007-03-13
Reviewing Sinbad is a treat because I got to rewatch the movie, oohing and ahing over Michelle Pfeiffer's delicious voice-performance as Eris, as well as the equally villainous animation acting. In every scene that Eris appears in you get goosebumps--you find yourself on the edge of your seat--you realize you're hanging on her every word and action. Quite honestly, this is one of the best uses of hand-drawn animation I've seen in a long time--and don't get me wrong: I love nothing better than hand-drawn animation.
I'm just sorry to say that the rest of the movie wasn't as good. And I'm even more sorry to say that the main problem lay with basic story/character elements.
As I see it,this movie's flaw is this: DreamWorks (or, as I like to call them, DreamOrcs) made it. Every low and unfunny joke, every miscast star voice, every male-bashing comment and jibe, and every less-than-heroic hero would have been fixed were Ol' Jeffy (Jeffery Katzenberg) and Co. NOT in charge of this production. Every other joke was either something crude, something sexist, or something just plain low (I'm blaming YOU, DreamOrcs!). The main flaws were Sinbad himself and his love interest, Marina (again, a DreamOrcs decision). If they had been COOL instead of being loserly, this movie would have been great. All their dialogue together is boring and/or stupid, their interaction is mediocre at best, and they don't come off believably as their characters.
For example, Sinbad, though supposedly the captain of the ship and the leader of the crew, apparently doesn't do anything but shout orders--and that only at the very end of the movie. How he became leader is beyond me--he's not the most skilled, the fastest, the strongest, CERTAINLY not the cleverest--and he's not even a good leader. And Marina, though a princess/ambassador, knows how to swing across a ship with the greatest of ease (that daring young lady on the flying trapeze), as well as knowing all of the functions and features of the Chimera--such as blades--without even having inspected the ship. She's so superhuman, how is there tension in her having to steer through the Dragon's Teeth?
Music=awesome. How often do you hear a bassoon solo in the villain's theme? And how often do you really get that thrill of swashbuckling in the trumpet section? I mean, they didn't even throw in a blatant, annoying, unfitting pop song as they usually do! It's so refreshing!
As for visuals, the 3D is there in force, and is obvious throughout the film. If you're okay with that, fine, but it gets on MY nerves when Sinbad's hands don't match up with the helm he's turning.
This movie should be your typical DreamOrcs fare: low humor, low main characters, and talking down to the audience. However, Eris's performance, combined with the strength of the story elements and concepts (I mean, how can you make fighting sea monsters politically correct?), and the great music keep this movie from being as bad as their features normally are.
As a whole, I think it's worth renting frequently--but not buying.
EXCELLENT FAMILY MOVIE.......2007-02-06
THIS MOVIE IS GREAT FOR ALL AGES - IF YOU LIKE THRILL PACKED, ADVENTUREOUS AND EXCITING FAMILY MOVIES THEN GIVE THIS A TRY.
Underrated Gem.......2006-02-23
With plenty of swashbuckling action and wonderful visuals, "Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas" is a wonderful tale for the whole family to watch. Much like its Dreamworks cohort, "The Road To El Dorado," "Sinbad" does have a couple of slight words, a bare bum and even a little romance. However, it is much more suitable for youngsters to watch in that the "romantic" content that seemed to bother some folks in "El Dorado" is hardly noticeable in this film if you're under the age of fourteen. Folks who linger on such thing will surely be turned off by this film, but they'll be missing out on a great adventure tale that will definitely please every youngster's dreams of heroism and high seas adventure.
Voiced by Brad Pitt, Sinbad is a likeable scalawag. Sure, he's a thief in the beginning of the flick, but he soon turns into a hero that any child could look up to. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Marina, the saucy sidekick who ends up bailing Sinbad and his crew out of a tight spot. Other notable voices include Joseph Fiennes as Proteus, Sinbad's friend in a self-inflicted dire situation and Michelle Pfeiffer channeling her bad side a la "Batman Returns" and her character "Catwoman" to create a devilishly fun Eris, the Goddess of Chaos.
The story, simply put, is about Sinbad's attempt to recover the Book of Peace from Pfeiffer and clear his name of wrongdoing. Oh, and if he doesn't return the book in time, his best friend, Proteus, loses his head.
The bulk of the flick takes place aboard Sinbad's wonderfully drawn ship as he and his allies battle fierce sea creatures, sirens, and seek out the the literal edge of the world to recover the book from Eris. Though some of the CGI animation clashes with the handdrawn work, the story and action far outweigh this minor miscue. In short, you have a wonderful story that is well-drawn and worthy of multiple viewings.
If you or your family enjoy high sea adventure like that in "Pirates of the Caribbean" or cliffhanging adventure in the shape of "The Road to El Dorado" and the "Indiana Jones" flicks, you're sure to enjoy "Sinbad." I highly recommend this film for the family, though some parents may want to preview this before letting the tiny ones watch it.

Reviewing Sinbad is a treat because I got to rewatch the movie, oohing and ahing over Michelle Pfeiffer's delicious voice-performance as Eris, as well as the equally villainous animation acting. In every scene that Eris appears in you get goosebumps--you find yourself on the edge of your seat--you realize you're hanging on her every word and action. Quite honestly, this is one of the best uses of hand-drawn animation I've seen in a long time--and don't get me wrong: I love nothing better than hand-drawn animation.
I'm just sorry to say that the rest of the movie wasn't as good. And I'm even more sorry to say that the main problem lay with basic story/character elements.
As I see it,this movie's flaw is this: DreamWorks (or, as I like to call them, DreamOrcs) made it. Every low and unfunny joke, every miscast star voice, every male-bashing comment and jibe, and every less-than-heroic hero would have been fixed were Ol' Jeffy (Jeffery Katzenberg) and Co. NOT in charge of this production. Every other joke was either something crude, something sexist, or something just plain low (I'm blaming YOU, DreamOrcs!). The main flaws were Sinbad himself and his love interest, Marina (again, a DreamOrcs decision). If they had been COOL instead of being loserly, this movie would have been great. All their dialogue together is boring and/or stupid, their interaction is mediocre at best, and they don't come off believably as their characters.
For example, Sinbad, though supposedly the captain of the ship and the leader of the crew, apparently doesn't do anything but shout orders--and that only at the very end of the movie. How he became leader is beyond me--he's not the most skilled, the fastest, the strongest, CERTAINLY not the cleverest--and he's not even a good leader. And Marina, though a princess/ambassador, knows how to swing across a ship with the greatest of ease (that daring young lady on the flying trapeze), as well as knowing all of the functions and features of the Chimera--such as blades--without even having inspected the ship. She's so superhuman, how is there tension in her having to steer through the Dragon's Teeth?
Music=awesome. How often do you hear a bassoon solo in the villain's theme? And how often do you really get that thrill of swashbuckling in the trumpet section? I mean, they didn't even throw in a blatant, annoying, unfitting pop song as they usually do! It's so refreshing!
As for visuals, the 3D is there in force, and is obvious throughout the film. If you're okay with that, fine, but it gets on MY nerves when Sinbad's hands don't match up with the helm he's turning.
This movie should be your typical DreamOrcs fare: low humor, low main characters, and talking down to the audience. However, Eris's performance, combined with the strength of the story elements and concepts (I mean, how can you make fighting sea monsters politically correct?), and the great music keep this movie from being as bad as their features normally are.
As a whole, I think it's worth renting frequently--but not buying.
EXCELLENT FAMILY MOVIE.......2007-02-06
THIS MOVIE IS GREAT FOR ALL AGES - IF YOU LIKE THRILL PACKED, ADVENTUREOUS AND EXCITING FAMILY MOVIES THEN GIVE THIS A TRY.
Underrated Gem.......2006-02-23
With plenty of swashbuckling action and wonderful visuals, "Sinbad: Legend of the Seven Seas" is a wonderful tale for the whole family to watch. Much like its Dreamworks cohort, "The Road To El Dorado," "Sinbad" does have a couple of slight words, a bare bum and even a little romance. However, it is much more suitable for youngsters to watch in that the "romantic" content that seemed to bother some folks in "El Dorado" is hardly noticeable in this film if you're under the age of fourteen. Folks who linger on such thing will surely be turned off by this film, but they'll be missing out on a great adventure tale that will definitely please every youngster's dreams of heroism and high seas adventure.
Voiced by Brad Pitt, Sinbad is a likeable scalawag. Sure, he's a thief in the beginning of the flick, but he soon turns into a hero that any child could look up to. Catherine Zeta-Jones plays Marina, the saucy sidekick who ends up bailing Sinbad and his crew out of a tight spot. Other notable voices include Joseph Fiennes as Proteus, Sinbad's friend in a self-inflicted dire situation and Michelle Pfeiffer channeling her bad side a la "Batman Returns" and her character "Catwoman" to create a devilishly fun Eris, the Goddess of Chaos.
The story, simply put, is about Sinbad's attempt to recover the Book of Peace from Pfeiffer and clear his name of wrongdoing. Oh, and if he doesn't return the book in time, his best friend, Proteus, loses his head.
The bulk of the flick takes place aboard Sinbad's wonderfully drawn ship as he and his allies battle fierce sea creatures, sirens, and seek out the the literal edge of the world to recover the book from Eris. Though some of the CGI animation clashes with the handdrawn work, the story and action far outweigh this minor miscue. In short, you have a wonderful story that is well-drawn and worthy of multiple viewings.
If you or your family enjoy high sea adventure like that in "Pirates of the Caribbean" or cliffhanging adventure in the shape of "The Road to El Dorado" and the "Indiana Jones" flicks, you're sure to enjoy "Sinbad." I highly recommend this film for the family, though some parents may want to preview this before letting the tiny ones watch it.

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
